    uniE621 BeEmotion.ai | Branding, Strategy, Publication, Squarespace Website
    With decades of experience, BeEmotion.ai offers market-ready AI solutions that deliver intuitive, personalised, and innovative experiences. They pioneer advancements in human-robot interactions, humanising machines through smart sensing for more natural and enjoyable experiences. When developing the Icon, we drew inspiration from the fusion of human emotion and advanced machine-driven AI. This morphing design reflects the seamless integration of technology and human experience to encapsulate the essence and expertise in what BeEmotion.ai develops. A super clean and minimal suite of collateral was developed utilising a strict grid system that helps reinforce the brand's strength and advancements in technology. It deliberately kept clear of industry standards to deliver a unique and engaging experience. We developed a dual-language Squarespace website that is super clean and simple, offering more concise information that was not too tech-heavy. The look and feel were effortlessly translated to the digital world, with the addition of some simple animation and movement.
