Credigo
1. About the Brand
Credigo is a pioneering fintech app designed to serve blue-collar, everyday workers by providing transparent and accessible salary advances. The brand aims to meet the immediate financial needs of its users, contributing to their progress, happiness, and overall well-being. Credigo’s mission is to redefine financial accessibility, ensuring that even those in the working class have the financial support they need when they need it most. By positioning itself as a reliable and supportive financial partner, Credigo is committed to making a significant impact on the lives of its users.
2. Conceptualizing
When Credigo commissioned Wishbox Studio to create its branding and brand strategy solutions, the goal was to craft a brand identity that would resonate deeply with its target audience. We began by developing a comprehensive brand strategy, starting with a deep understanding of Credigo’s mission, market aspirations and positioning. This strategic foundation guided us through the creative process, including brainstorming name suggestions that would capture the essence of the brand. The name “Credigo” was selected because it succinctly represents “credit on the go,” encapsulating the convenience and immediacy of the services offered. This name laid a strong foundation for developing a brand that is both memorable and meaningful.
3. Branding and Design
Brand Identity
To create a brand identity that aligns with Credigo’s mission, we chose red and yellow as the primary colours. These warm, high-intensity colours are not only visually striking but also culturally resonant within India. Red and yellow evoke energy, warmth, and positivity—qualities essential for a brand focused on progress and growth. The brand identity was designed to be vibrant and approachable, reflecting Credigo’s commitment to uplifting its users.
Logo Design
The logo design for Credigo is minimalistic yet impactful. The clear and readable text ensures that the brand name is easily recognizable. A unique feature of the logo is the ‘O,’ which incorporates a triangle pointing upwards. This triangle symbolizes an arrow, representing progress, growth, and upward mobility—core values of Credigo. The simplicity and symbolism of the logo make it memorable and effective in conveying the brand’s mission.
Collaterals
We also designed a comprehensive set of branding and marketing collateral to enhance Credigo’s visibility. These included visiting cards, letterheads, envelopes, email signatures, typography, social media templates and WhatsApp creatives. Each element was meticulously crafted to ensure consistency in style, colour and messaging, aligning with the brand’s modern and approachable identity. The collaterals were designed to maintain clarity and professionalism, providing effective communication tools that extend across both digital and physical platforms. Every detail, from typography to layout, was chosen to ensure Credigo’s brand remained fresh and impactful across every touchpoint, whether the audience interacted online or offline.
4. Visual and User Experience
App Design
The design of the Credigo app is a critical component of the user experience. We utilized the vibrant colour palette of red and yellow to create an engaging and lively interface. The app’s design is user-centric, featuring simple and intuitive navigation to ensure ease of use. The copy is straightforward, avoids complex financial jargon and is available in multiple languages to cater to a diverse user base. This inclusivity ensures that users from different linguistic backgrounds can easily understand and use the app. To enhance engagement, the app includes numerous illustrations. These illustrations feature characters with a distinctly Indian feel, adding a personal and relatable touch.
Website
In addition to the app, we developed a dynamic, user-friendly website for Credigo that caters to two distinct audiences: employees and employers. We crafted separate, dedicated pages for each group, ensuring the content was personalized and relevant to their unique needs. Our approach focused on delivering a seamless user experience that reflects Credigo’s core values of convenience and trust. The website’s vibrant, modern design aligns perfectly with the app, creating a cohesive digital brand experience. Intuitive navigation, striking visuals, and carefully structured content all work together to make it easy for users to access and engage with Credigo’s services. The result is a platform that not only communicates the brand’s mission clearly but also builds trust and encourages user interaction, reinforcing the overall brand identity across digital touchpoints.
5. Strategic Communication
Our strategic communication approach was integral to effectively conveying Credigo’s innovative services. We focused on creating a brand voice that is clear, relatable and free of complex jargon. This was crucial for ensuring that Credigo’s target audience, primarily blue-collar workers, could easily understand and connect with the brand. The minimalistic design combined with vibrant visuals and straightforward language made Credigo’s offerings accessible and engaging. The content was crafted to educate and inform users about the benefits and functionalities of the app while maintaining an approachable and friendly tone.
