Art Direction
Arcadia's art direction is designed to make energy complexity feel accessible and intuitive. Through light, structure, and motion, our visuals reveal the nuances and connection points of today's energy landscape.
Illustration
Arcadia's illustrations are designed to reveal how complex energy systems work — clearly, calmly, and with intention.
We use a consistent system of 3D isometric platforms and abstract elements to visualize data, connections, and flow. These illustrations are a core part of the Arcadia brand, helping make invisible systems feel understandable and human.
Because illustration plays a central role in how we explain our platform, it should be created and evolved thoughtfully. Please use the existing illustration system and examples as the foundation for any new work, rather than introducing new styles or visual languages.

Photography
Arcadia's photography captures real moments within a clean energy future — people, technology, and environments working together in the real world.
Our photography is meant to feel natural, optimistic, and grounded. It supports the brand by showing energy as something tangible and human, not abstract or distant.
Photography should be curated and edited with care to maintain a consistent tone and visual quality. When possible, use approved imagery and follow these guidelines closely rather than introducing new visual treatments.
