THE BRIEF

Mint Money wanted to introduce digital gold as a new investment experience—bringing the trust of physical gold into a modern, intuitive digital journey for both first-time investors and regular savers.

I explored four visual directions, each balancing trust, premium appeal, simplicity, and modernity, to find the right visual language for the product and its users.

Flow For MVP

Approach 1

Warm Daylight

Approach 2

Momentum Blue

Visual distinctiveness

Low — leans on existing brand blue, least "gold" identity

Trust & credibility built

Verdict

We went with Warm Daylight. It's the direction that answers the brief most directly: earn trust before asking a first-time ₹10 investor to buy anything, not after.
