Project Overview
Partnering with tech start-up, Ziinkle to develop the branding for this new female-lead, Australian owned dating app.
Ziinkle has up-dated the dating experience and will set a new global standard. Designed for people to match and meet, in real-life, in real-time – Ziinkle lets you see where other singles are out and about socially so you can make decisions on where to go, based on the people you want to be around.

Project Brief
We needed to create a custom brand identity, including setting a unique tone of voice in a crowded market and apply brand principals across print and online, as well as informing app and online design.
Project Innovation/Need
Our design approach across all channels was to clearly convey the idea of communication and interaction. This is evident from the two people chatting in the logo, the speech bubbles that form the extended visual language, to the clear and punchy copy that reinforces the notion of ‘In Real Time’ at all times.
From TOV, to custom typography design and colour theory, the Ziinkle brand identity has been created for users looking for more meaningful connections that take them off their couch to locking eyes with that special someone across the room.
Design Challenge
Tinder, Bumble, Grindr and Hinge all have memorable moments within their design aesthetic – how do we create an original brand look and feel that celebrates fresh energy and connectivity to convey the key message of Match and Meet in Real Life, in Real Time.
