For freelancers and studios selling sonic work: the fastest way to defend a sound logo to a client is to test it before you present it.
We just published our five-check framework — recall, attribution, context survival, distinctiveness, restraint. "Five of seven people thought this sounded like a children's brand" ends a debate that "I think it's off" never will.

How to Test a Sound Logo Before You Ship It | Supadark
A sound logo is only finished when it passes a test, not when it sounds good in the session. Five checks (recall, attribution, context, distinctiveness, restraint) to validate a sound logo before it ships.

dope man, do you custom design the sound?
XPlace — Crypto-Backed Visa Card Website design
Designed the interface for XPlace — a platform that lets users borrow against their crypto holdings and spend through a Visa card, without selling assets or triggering taxable events.
The challenge:
Create a product that feels both trustworthy and premium — avoiding the typical "startup" look, and steering clear of the neon/gradient clichés so common in crypto design.
The solution:
A dark, cinematic mood built around a monochrome landscape backdrop, bold expressive typography, and a metallic Visa Platinum card as the central visual anchor. Minimal elements, maximum focus on one action: get the card.
What's in the interface:
— Full-bleed hero section with an atmospheric background
— Large-scale headline that communicates value in seconds
— 3D card render as a trust-building element
— Transparent glass-effect header
Built in Framer — this isn't just the landing page, there are several more screens and flows I'll share case study separately 👀
That design, scroll transitions and color palette is very well designed with a great presentation. I like how you blend different type of scroll animations in different sections. Fits my dark sci fi aesthetic, good work!
