First Redesign – More Structured Approach

Logo (Rebranding 1)

The first redesign aimed to retain the magical, mysterious essence of Abracadabra Money.
The glowing crystal symbolizes a force unlocking new possibilities, reflecting the idea of digital financial alchemy—turning complex crypto mechanisms into something accessible.

Color Palette (Rebranding 1)

The palette transitions from gamification to a structured, professional look while keeping a magical touch.

A deep background adds mystery, purple shades bring a futuristic feel, and light blue conveys transparency and trust. Gradients highlight dynamism, with white text ensuring clarity.

Landing Page Animation

To balance gamification with a more serious tone, I developed this landing animation. It merges fantasy and finance, illustrating the alchemy of digital transactions through a whimsical yet structured system. The flowing coins, glowing orbs, and animated machine create an engaging visual narrative, making complex financial concepts more intuitive and immersive.

3D Graphic Objects

To maintain the gamification aspect for social media, I developed a series of 3D props tailored to engage our community. These elements blend fantasy and finance, reinforcing the project's identity while providing visually appealing, shareable content. From glowing cauldrons and enchanted books to treasure chests and mystical portals, each object enhances the immersive experience, resonating with the audience’s love for storytelling and interactive visuals. By incorporating these game-inspired assets, we ensure that our social media presence remains fun, engaging, and aligned with the brand’s magical essence.

Redefining The Visual Identity

As the project evolved, so did its identity. The redesigned logo reflects a shift from playful gamification to a more refined and professional visual language, aligning with the growing maturity of the crypto industry. Built on a structured grid, the new mark embodies precision, adaptability, and a forward-thinking approach. Its clean geometric form ensures clarity and recognition across all platforms, reinforcing trust and credibility within the blockchain ecosystem.

From Sketch to Final Design –
Bridging Vision and Execution

This section highlights the journey from my conceptual sketch to the final website design. I developed the core structure, layout, and visual approach, shifting towards a more refined and professional aesthetic suited for the crypto space. While the final execution was completed by another team, the design closely follows my initial vision, showcasing the impact of strategic design thinking in shaping the end result.
