The film's concept, was to recreate the merger of both banks through their respective colours. Blue for Bank Populaire, and red for Caisse d'Épargne. The addition of the two colours give this purple colour, both powerful and unused in the banking industry.

A brush then comes and mixes the drop to make it into a circle sybolizing the specificity of the human touch in today's world.
