Brief

Help us become the brand that matches our ambition.

X-energy has the technology, the partnerships, and the regulatory momentum to lead the next generation of nuclear energy. But our brand still looks like a startup operating in a category that’s about to become the most important one in the world.

We need a system that scales. From a regulator’s briefing to an investor deck. From a hard hat to a Times Square billboard. From the side of a fleet truck to the cover of an annual report.

Something that signals where we’re going — not just where we came from.

In late 2025, X-energy came to us in need of a refreshed visual identity. The company’s progress had far outpaced their outdated brand.

The opportunity was clear. X-energy had outgrown their brand — and they needed a new one, especially as they prepared to IPO.

Typography

X-energy was about to step onto the biggest stage of its history, and we knew the brand had to step up with us. Lighthouse delivered a system that holds its own in front of regulators, investors, and the public — and gave us the visual language to tell our story as we IPO’d on Nasdaq. It’s the foundation our next decade runs on.

The full rollout of the brand culminated in the IPO of X-energy (XE) on Nasdaq in May 2026. X-energy raised over $1 billion in an upsized offering — the largest nuclear public offering on record. From producing the IPO roadshow video to designing the full takeover of billboards in Times Square, we built the visual moment that introduced X-energy to the world as a public company.

What started as a visual identity refresh became a strategic re-platforming of a company on the cusp of generational moments. New purpose. New tagline. New wordmark, palette, typography, sub-brand architecture, motion language, and a system of templates and guidelines built to scale alongside the business.

The IPO was the proof. But the brand isn’t built for one moment — it’s built for the decade of moments to come.
