Jeremy J. McLean

The marketing team developed the campaign slogan “Your Domain Name. Uniquely You.” They asked the design team to explore a visual identity, and I created and pitched the final creative direction. As lead designer, I shaped the campaign’s visual identity and user experience across digital and motion assets.

“Your Domain Name. Uniquely You.”

The Challenge

.net was trusted and dependable — but it needed to feel personal. Our challenge was to transform its reputation from simply safe and steady into something empowering and inspiring. We set out to craft a visual identity that puts small business owners at the center: authentic, confident, and unique, yet simple enough to scale across every platform.

Our Goals

Our challenge was to 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 lift

The Approach

Working exclusively with stock photography, I set out to build a distinct, ownable visual system for the .net brand:


  • 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 focused on making it easy to scale and stay consistent across every touchpoint. Our work extended beyond a single campaign to give teams the tools they needed to keep the look and feel strong wherever .net appeared:

Brand Style Guide

Documented the new color palette, typography, and image treatments to give teams clear, on-brand direction.

Figma Design Library

Assembled reusable styles, components, and specs, helping designers, developers and partners produce new materials with confidence and consistency.

Product Site Design

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

Paid Media

Both myself and the team created ready-to-use display ads and social banners sized for multiple platforms, giving the brand a cohesive presence online.

Event Collateral

The team designed roll-ups, large-format graphics, and supporting materials to bring the refreshed identity into 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 used dynamic type, bold yellow accents, and smooth transitions to keep .net instantly recognizable.

Independent testing revealed a stronger performance compared to prior campaigns in comparable markets and demographics.
