Our startup (frescopad.com) is going through a redesign process, and it's making me think deeply about branding for companies that I rarely think about. Let's hear your favorite brand identities and show us your favorite brand designs!

I think stripe does an excellent job because it makes complex concepts simple. The design reflects their values and their copy reinforces the aesthetic. It just makes everything simple.

@laurenproctor32 Simplicity is one of the most important things for a brand to emphasize - stripe is certainly a great example of this!

@sewell_stephens There is definitely a ton of options - must be an exclusive list for the very best!

Sewell Stephens's reply has a point. That said, your design should speak to your audience. For example, a design for rock music loving youngsters will not work for an audience of senior lawyers.
Paul VanZandt
@kkumarkg I totally agree, Krishna - the audience eye is equally as important as solid design. Understanding what they do and don't like is the next step!

I was surprised by Gumroad's brand design, singular brand identity & aesthetics. In case you are looking for an artsy design πŸ‘‰ https://gumroad.com

Hi πŸ‘‹πŸΌ Paul, Butter (https://www.butter.us) has a unique, colorful, fun brand that emphasizes collaboration, which is also the primary emphasis on the Frescopad landing page. Miro (https://miro.com) has engaging copywriting and calls-to-action, which could be useful as inspiration for explaining the features of Frescopad. Have you picked new colors for your brand redesign?
Paul VanZandt
@codelackers Hey Cody - thanks for the inspiration! I actually have been using Butter as inspiration for our rebrand because I think they really emphasize the right stuff across all of their touchpoints. I think we want to explore green color pallettes because that connotes the right feelings and isn't currently taken in the ecosystem of productivity/collaboration tools.

My favorite SaaS brand design would have to be Slack. The design of Slack's interface is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. I appreciate the clean and intuitive layout, which makes communication and collaboration seamless.
