The top player in the French transportation market owing to the power of vehicle-generated open data.

LinkByCar is a SaaS startup that created a tool to collect, process, and aggregate data from vehicles. With the use of AI technology, it can predict the behavior of any vehicle — all to ensure you safely get to your destination.

The company cooperates with popular car manufacturers, including Stellantis, Mercedes, and BMW. With an extensive network already in a place, they have serious potential to expand across all of Europe.

Innovative startup that helps teachers and students do more with less stress thanks to smart AI tools

DigestAI aims to make life easier for educators and students. This AI startup focuses on boosting productivity and taking care of repetitive tasks that may slow down, helping everyone get more out of their learning experience.

Such a solution allows people to interact with advanced machine-learning models through an ASI app. Here, teachers can create their own AI tutors that can easily be accessed on platforms like WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams.

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.

Challenge

Many students find it difficult to get help when they need it most. Teachers, in turn, can’t always offer one-on-one support, especially with learners spread across different locations.

This leads to a demand for a solution that gives instant feedback and support anytime and anywhere, helping everyone take charge of their studying.

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.

  2. Saving to profile. The user can save these links/posts to their profile.
  3. Organizing content. They can create new collections or use existing ones to organize these links or posts.
  4. Easy retrieval. Later on, users easily find a specific link or post, either through a search, within a specific collection, or in their profile.
  5. Sharing. If they want to, users can share links, posts, or collections with others.

Inspired by real lives, focused on real solutions

Our main goal was to shape the new identity of DigestAI, rebranding to Acton Street, Inc. The new name comes from the founder’s experience living with students, which inspired the company’s focus on putting people first.

We analyzed competitors, aiming to combine innovation with simplicity. From the start, it was clear that ASI’s unique blend of cutting-edge solutions and a user-centered approach would resonate strongly with its audience.

Logo ideas spinning with innovation at every turn

Our main task was to keep things creative yet simple and minimalistic. All of the design concepts were loosely inspired by the metaphor of a bicycle but with a more abstract approach to avoid direct associations.

As a result, we presented the final logo with a central element of a crank, symbolizing continuous movement. It forms a ring, much like a spinning wheel, capturing the idea of constant progress and innovation.

Minimalist brand identity that goes beyond trends

The big challenge was standing out in a crowded market with similar trends. We tackled this by exploring audience insights and creating minimalist solutions that truly reflect the individuality of the ASI brand.

Our team must make sure the design works across different formats. And we had a lot of fun experimenting with unconventional mediums, like merchandise, and adapting the identity and illustrations for the website.

Focus on simple design with maximum effort

In collaboration with the branding team, we worked on minimalism, large photos, and a clear block hierarchy. The goal was to maintain a structured look while making every element feel purposeful and match the desired values.

Our designers were tasked to adapt the black-and-white linear branding style for the web without losing its essence. Highlighting a strong connection to AI was also crucial to stay in line with the company’s innovative spirit.

Exceptional concepts to bring the website to life

Concept 1: Linear

Our first idea is a clean, minimal design centered around linear graphics tied to the brand’s AI focus. The layout makes content easy to read with large headlines that catch the user's attention and subtle contrast between blocks.

Concept 2: Bold

This concept adds a black background for a more elegant feel, with a bold grid layout that shows the brand’s innovative approach. Extra space improves flow, while the non-standard position of headlines keeps things interactive.

Hover effects designed for a big purpose

To bring the interface to life, we integrated hover effects on the cards, adding a dynamic touch that draws potential users in. These animations leave a lasting impression, making the overall design feel vibrant and engaging.

The menu interaction adds to the experience — after clicking on a theme, the page smoothly transitions to the chosen section. It’s a small but impactful detail that makes navigating the site feel more immersive.

Code-smart solutions that deliver quick results

We created the landing page from scratch using Webflow, matching every design detail with the initial vision. Our team used built-in tools, keeping the process simple and efficient with minimal external scripts.

To improve mobile performance, we integrated a custom slider and created a JavaScript-based menu interaction. These tweaks provided smooth functionality while working around Webflow’s native limitations.

Working on this project was inspiring. We brought to life a concept that blends simplicity with symbolism, creating an identity that perfectly captures the brand’s spirit and values. The central focus on lines and arrows highlights the journey towards the core, making the design adaptable for various content like images, text, and illustrations.

Halo Lab provided brand analysis services that helped us with better understanding our market type, niche, customers, and competitors. They designed our whole SaaS platform, leveraging both UI and UX expertise. Furthermore, they used React to help us build a customer-facing dashboard that connects to our existing backends.

Clear guidelines let the logo speak for itself

The ASI logo consists of two key elements: the Mark and the Wordmark. To keep brand consistency, our team advised against altering, resizing too small, or distorting it. We’ve provided guidelines to ensure it stays clear across all devices, along with examples of what not to do.
