Jeremy J. McLean

The marketing team came up with the campaign slogan "Your Domain Name. Uniquely You." and asked us to explore what that could look like visually. I created and pitched the final creative direction, then led the design work across digital and motion assets.

“Your Domain Name. Uniquely You.”

The Challenge

net had a solid reputation—trusted, dependable, reliable. But it didn't feel personal. Our challenge was to evolve the brand from "safe and steady" to something more empowering and inspiring. We wanted to create a visual identity that put small business owners at the center: authentic, confident, and uniquely themselves—while keeping it simple enough to scale across every platform.

Our Goals

Make .net feel personal and empowering while staying simple and scalable.

Elevate the visibility of the .net brand

Drive awareness, build brand preference, and increase engagement

The Approach

Working exclusively with stock photography, I built a distinct visual system for .net:


  • I curated images that felt genuine—business owners in their own environments, collaborating, serving customers, doing what they do.

  • I applied .net's signature yellow as the focal accent across every asset.

  • I converted the rest of each image to black and white, putting the focus squarely on the people—small business owners making it happen.

  • Curated images that captured genuine moments — business owners in their own environments, collaborating, or serving customers.

  • Applied .net’s primary brand color — a bold, signature yellow — as the focal accent across every asset.

  • Converted the rest of each image to black and white, drawing focus to the customer — small business owners finding success.

Campaign Assets

With the visual system in place, we made it easy to scale and stay consistent across every touchpoint. Our work went beyond a single campaign—we gave teams the tools to keep the look and feel strong wherever .net showed up:

Brand Style Guide

I documented the new color palette, typography, and image treatments so teams had clear direction for staying on-brand.

Figma Design Library

I built reusable styles, components, and specs that helped designers, developers, and partners create new materials with confidence and consistency.

Product Site Design

As lead UX designer, I designed the new yourdot.net product site—improving the structure, flow, and visual clarity while applying the refreshed identity.

Paid Media

Our team created display ads and social banners sized for multiple platforms, giving the brand a cohesive presence online.

Event Collateral

We designed roll-ups, large-format graphics, and supporting materials to bring the refreshed identity to conferences and trade shows.

Campaign Video

We brought the system to life through motion—creating 30-, 15-, and 8-second spots for digital channels. Each one used dynamic type, bold yellow accents, and smooth transitions to keep .net instantly recognizable.
