"Veckopengen byter namn till Gimi”, Di, 2018.03.27
Meet Piggy, the digital piggy bank
We were contacted by Gimi to assist them in their internationalization and help update their brand. Being an entirely new phenomenon, Gimi needed an instantly recognizable asset that summed up their reason to be. Since children today have digital money, it only followed that they need a digital piggy bank. Piggy was born – a concept developed together with the team at Gimi.
Where cyberspace meets reality
Piggy, being a digital pig, lives in cyberspace. However, the children are asked to perform real tasks, and the money they earn is real. Fusing these two realities together was the fundamental idea behind the brand identity. Pixelated meets organic. Digital money becomes real rewards. Both parts were expressed through a large number of icons and illustrations. And, of course, a new logotype.
Digital product design
With the visual identity in place, we moved on to putting it to use. The app was to be used by children as well as their parents. In short, it had to be entertaining yet educational. Also, underneath all that playfulness was a very serious need for children to learn about money at a young age, to make fewer financial mistakes as adults. A very worthy cause, if you ask us.
