challenge

Insurance company managers and automotive corporations typically face challenges with complex software. That’s why the process of collecting data from vehicles can be a bit of a headache.

Real-time vehicle tracking, predicting potential problems, and accident reconstruction — all of these had to be considered in the product design. A perfect software offers everything in one place, simplifying things for those who aren’t fluent in the language of technology.

It was a fully fresh perspective in every sense.

The research showed that competitors’ websites somewhat lagged behind the latest trends, which didn’t align with the technological and innovative nature of this business.

Hence, we aimed to convey the client’s digital orientation through a practical and rigorous branding approach, complemented by bright accents.

For a brand to speak with one voice, it needs a brand book to set the tone.

Forging a new star logo that speaks volumes

When developing a logo, we wanted to capture the platform’s energetic spirit and diversity. So, we went with a non-standard convex star, refusing a typical shape. Its modern profile celebrates new talents and the unpolished energy that often leads to the most exciting discoveries.

Then, to broaden the logo’s meaning, we blasted off with six little arrows. Each of them points in a different direction, representing the diversity of genres and content to be explored. It’s a visual reminder that there’s something for everyone, and all creative voices are welcome.

Crafting a symphony of color and readability

Our design for this website pops with a vibrant yet balanced color scheme. Lemon yellow injects a youthful energy, reflecting the platform’s focus on fresh talent. Deep blue grounds the design, adding a touch of seriousness and trust. Finally, violet bridges the gap between those tones, offering a hint of creativity and intrigue.

To match this vivid palette, we chose the Almarena font. Its letterforms, with subtle sans-serifs and rounded edges, echo the platform’s modern feel. With this harmonious blend of color and typography, the design creates a visually captivating experience that resonates with both artists and fans.

Creating a brand identity that plays the right notes

To create a dynamic brand identity, we used a mix of robust lines, irregular shapes, and textures. These elements add freshness and authenticity to the overall style of the website, guiding users through its variety of music genres and engaging content.

Also, we focused on intricate curves and geometric shapes, creating a clean canvas for the real stars and their artwork. Prominent graphics, custom icons, and real artists’ photos keep things fun and unpretentious, in tune with the platform’s rough-and-tumble spirit.
