Molly December, 2024 In Progress

Brand refresh + development of an updated website for Molly, a messaging app based on Signal for Android

With improved security and privacy, among other added features, it has gathered a community of thousands of users in the infosec and digital privacy niche

Brand Update

The process starts with a refresh on the visual brand, keeping it recognizable and coherent, yet with a more present-day and vibrant look

UI improvements

With the refresh, the app’s color palette has been revised and refined

It was also a great opportunity to design alternative icons to replace those that Signal offers by default (which have their branding)

Website: Before and After

Molly has an informative and minimalist website. But its design is starting to look more older than present, and it’s not fully intuitive at a first glance

The new design takes the same information and condenses it in a more hierarchical way, better guiding the attention of the user

It also updates the aesthetics, showing Molly as the modern and actively developed app that it is

The previous download page was less intuitive than the home page, with an unclear visual hierarchy

The new one takes all the existing elements and reorders them in a clear and clean way
