Process

Rooted in the product’s mission and tone, our team aligned on key attributes to shape the visual direction. This foundation led to the tagline More Savings, More Smiles, a simple and relatable insight that captured the emotional value of saving. We explored several directions that balanced the product’s friendly, helpful nature with a sense of professionalism.

Concept

We landed on a concept inspired by a smile, which directly tied into the Carvana Club tagline More Savings, More Smiles. By breaking down elements of a dollar sign and a smiley face, we created a set of logomarks, patterns, and supporting assets that conveyed both financial value and emotional warmth. Everything aligned seamlessly with the product’s tone and mission.

Color Balance

To help Carvana Club stand out from other products in the ecosystem, we reimagined our color palette hierarchy. By elevating Carvana Yellow alongside our signature blue, we introduced a brighter, more cheerful visual tone that reflected the product’s optimistic, customer-first positioning.

Animated Logomark

To highlight Carvana Club’s cheerful and uplifting tone, we brought the final logomark to life through playful motion. The animation added an extra layer of personality, making the identity feel more dynamic and engaging.
