Financial & Payments

We created the site and brand identity for a QR-code payment service from California. Our task was to showcase the benefits of the service for two types of clients: businesses and individuals, and to prove to them why it is more convenient to use Mogney instead of familiar payment methods.

To show that Mogney was to transform to a day-to-day payment solution, we designed an imaginary currency symbol for the logo, which would showcase that using Mogney is as easy as using cash. Good UX is seen in tiny details. On the desktop version the QR-code slightly turns with the movement of the mouse cursor while on the mobile version it is connected with the device’s position: the website gets data from the gyroscope and when the user tilts the device, the QR-code mimics the device’s movements.

We designed six 3D models for the site. They are laid over the main design and, thanks to that, they take the best position on any screen at any resolution and do not become distorted. And the cherry on the top: we came up with the slogan "All you need is a QR-code" which is easily perceived and remembered as it is a reference to the famous hit by the Beatles.

Real Estate

The "Skolkovo Park" business district is a world-class venue for entrepreneurs with office buildings developed by the best architects and interior designers. Our task consisted of demonstrating the innovativeness of the district. We needed to create a memorable user experience that would emphasise the technological and advanced image of the complex.

We developed a 3D model of the business district, embedded it into the website and optimised the speed and loading time. We used the storyboard video to create a VR tour with a motion controlled camera flying over the buildings. In addition to 3D modeling, we undertook website development. All the animations were designed on the frontend: the webpages transitions, interface mini-hovers and scrolling reactions, including full optimisation of high-load elements and micro-animations.

As a result, the users are able to have a better understanding of the district and can view it from multiple angles.

Tula are state-of-the-art microphones by David Brown, Brazzaville frontman. Our goal was to create a promotional website for USB microphones. It was vital to create realistic visualisations of the product: to demonstrate the mics' convenient features, including its size, and provide realistic expectations to the users. 

Tula mics are an epitome of both modernity and nostalgia, smoothness and sharp angles: that is why the website design had to stylistically combine both brutalism and retro. The website features all color variations of the mics — red, black and cream. The main scheme adapts to the chosen color for further emphasis.

Sally is a company based in New York that offers vehicles to taxi drivers. 

We had to inform the drivers about the offer and the benefits of working with Sally and to create an image of a modern service that cares about its clients and cars as well. Also, we wanted to convey the brand's character through a design that would differentiate it from its business rivals. 

The key idea of the project was to show the website through the driver's perspective: while using the site, the client felt like they were driving. 

As the company doesn't sell cars, we didn't need a detailed model, so we created a low poly one, which looked like a real car and was able to load fast on any device. 

We developed over 70 animations: the car feels real when you’re scrolling, going from selection to selection or moving the mouse cursor.

Financial & Payments

Our tasks were as follows:

  • To develop a website for a modern financial service
  • To highlight the benefits of the service and come up with a easy-to-use interface
  • To create a modern and friendly brand image for successful client communication

In order to fully shape the image of the company we created the corporate identity of the brand. We designed an adaptable logo: the symbol may be used separately from the text part depending on the medium.

For the calculator of things on the first page we created 3d models of the items in Blender and got photorealistic 2D images after rendering them. To imitate physical motion and to add a nice interactive element, we turned to Matter.js — a collection of high-quality solutions for animations.

We designed the service in such a way that for users to get the service they need to do only three things: sign up, fill out the application form and choose how they’d like to receive the money. They don’t even need to leave their house to get it all done.

Our task was to design a mono-brand image-building eCommerce platform, to show the combination of the product’s quality and affordability and to help the brand in expanding into both online and international markets.

Lincor produces watches of a considerable number of styles: classic, glamor, sports, minimalistic. Considering the business’ goals, we developed a design that unites all of the mixed collections into a casual, day-to-day style for the target audience.

ECommerce design depends on the quantity of the goods that are to be displayed. In the case of a mono-brand website with a limited number of collections like this one, we opted for a wide grid with a good view of each watch. Every collection is of no more than a dozen items: displaying goods singularly in high quality causes the emotional value of the product to rise.

We also carried out a two-day professional photoshoot with stylists and makeup artists under our direction. While working hand-in-hand with stylists, we picked out the best looks, chose the fabrics and the cuts.

Humans is a fintech product that combines financial services and a mobile carrier. The main goal was to create a visual language to aid communication with a broad audience and to develop a website, which could be expanded alongside the product development. We created a solution, which was viable at the start and was able to undergo expansion later on.

Throughout this project more than two hundred 3D objects were created, each one of which was worked through carefully. During the following year the design was scaled to fit new requirements, more pages and services were added.

As a result, more than eighteen thousand potential customers viewed the website during the first month after the launch and the website went on to win the Red Dot Design Award in 2021.

A statement in-house project promoting the ways to help prevent marine creatures from going extinct. 

This project was a challenging yet exciting one: it was to be done in fourteen days and the goal was to draw everyone's attention to an important environmental problem. To achieve this, everything on the website had to look as realistic as possible. 

Five kinds of whales appeared on the website in the form of animated 3D models. The animals ‘float’ onto the screen, while the user can rotate and observe them. The transition between pages, which looked like a wave, was done manually through the use of sixty-six frames. 

In the first two weeks following the launch, more than two hundred people shared the project on social media. After the project was published on international platforms, more than 30 thousand users visited the website.

We were set to make a vision come true and were able to deliver it within just fourteen days.

Awwwards, a well-known professional web design and development competition body, asked us to create a website for their conference Digital Thinkers in New York. 

We were set to impress the design community and the leaders of the digital crowd by making a site that would capture the city's atmosphere through the use of American fast food 3D models.

Every page has its own 3D model and the main page features a 3D model of a hot dog. After being opened, the website is monochromatic, but after it is held down by the mouse, it changes colors and textures.

The gemstone of the site is as follows: you can mess with the best known web designers and get away with it. On any photo of a designer, the cursor transforms into a bottle. When you click, the bottle is squeezed and the color splashes out of it right onto the faces of the speakers. Every color theme has its own color of the ‘sauce’.

Meet FMEC, a forward-thinking agribusiness firm with a global reach. Their vision was to create a distinct brand identity that would resonate with farmers worldwide, setting them apart in a highly competitive industry.

Concept: Our approach was rooted in extensive collaboration and a deep dive into the intricacies of the farming community. We started by analyzing existing logos in the agro and agrotech sector to define our brand's core attributes. The brand needed to exude progressiveness, approachability, precision, and a touch of unconventional charm. Not too masculine or feminine, it had to be both loud and friendly, highlighting their journey into the digital realm.

Execution: Despite our initial scope not including a mascot, we decided to introduce this element into our project. The mascot, a farmer robot, became the embodiment of the safe transition into the digital world, guiding the client with a friendly and reassuring hand. The choice of the mascot wearing a hat emerged as a symbolic representation of our concept. We also explored the world of animated text and, instead of directly incorporating it into our primary concept, we derived inspiration from the idea that letters create a visual style, translating this principle into the digital domain through distinctive ASCII art.

Result: Thanks to effective client communication and a robust analytical foundation, we created a corporate style and brand book that truly sets our client, FMEC, apart from their competitors. Our concept, rooted in the convergence of farming reality and digital transformation, successfully encapsulated the essence of their mission. The iconic farmer robot mascot in a hat became the hallmark of FMEC's identity, perfectly bridging the gap between the farming world and the digital future. An original, industry-defining corporate identity and brand book that proudly stands out in the world of farmers worldwide.

Bronitex is a renowned glove manufacturer with a rich legacy in the industry. They approached us with a visionary project aimed at revitalizing their online presence. Bronitex sought a website that would not only serve as a showcase for their premium glove products but also unravel the intricate art of glove production, from the meticulous selection of textiles to the final delivery.

Concept: At the core of our creative concept lay the aspiration to narrate the entire journey of crafting gloves, from inception to fruition. To bring this concept to life, we envisioned transforming gloves from mere accessories into sophisticated digital entities, akin to state-of-the-art smartphones.

Work: Our journey commenced with the meticulous creation of intricate 3D models that would breathe life into the gloves on the website. These models underwent rigorous optimization by our skilled 3D artists, ensuring swift loading times and peak performance, even on devices with limited resources. The outcome was an interactive experience that enabled users to delve into the minutiae of gloves, from the stitching intricacies to the luxurious texture of the materials employed. The catalog experience was carefully tailored to enhance the user's shopping journey. We crafted a catalog page featuring exhaustive descriptions for each glove in Bronitex's collection. Simultaneously, we provided Bronitex's factory staff with a user-friendly admin panel, granting them autonomy to efficiently manage product listings. We introduced an innovative feature that allowed users to effortlessly switch between product photos by simply hovering over a card.

Result: It's an intuitive platform for shoppers and an indispensable tool for Bronitex's team to effectively manage their extensive inventory. This project transcends a mere website; it's a work of art that mirrors the unwavering commitment and excellence that Bronitex brings to the world of glove manufacturing.
