Taste Test
I’m testing two different creative directions and would love your honest opinion.
Version A focuses on a bright, minimal gallery experience with circular visual experiments.
Version B explores a darker, more cinematic product direction for Montairé with hardware-focused visuals.
Which one feels cooler, more premium, and more memorable — A or B?
I’d also love feedback on the typography, layout, animation, and overall art direction.

B reads more premium to me, hardware usually earns more trust with some drama and shadow than a bright gallery wash gives it. Is Montaire already leaning toward a luxury position, or is the darker mood more about matching product photography you already have on hand?
so cool man
I’d lean toward Version B. The darker direction gives the hardware more presence and makes the whole experience feel more intentional and engineered. Version A is visually interesting, but B gives Montairé a much clearer identity at first glance.
both works are great, but I`m going with 'hardware index' ❤️🔥
Version B, easily. Bright and minimal is a polite handshake, the cinematic hardware direction actually has a pulse. It should feel like something you covet, not a gallery you stroll past.
Hardware is a winner for me!! From the layout to the hierarchy, everything fits and offers a smooth experience.

New cover, new visual taste test.
As a visual director, the hardest choice is choosing between your own creations.
Two covers. Two directions. One choice.

the blue background makes the orange shapes pop
My previous poll showed unexpected results (I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to vote and comment 🤍).
Now I am curious about your opinion on the color mode for this hero section. I definitely like a light theme. What about you?
By the way, I made a nice animation for this design. You can see it on my profile

Option B feels more luxurious to me—the watch gets a clearer hero moment and the warmer accent adds just enough energy against the dark field. The typography and product scale also make the comparison feel polished.
