Week two of Contra Quest 💥
Sharing a part of NOVA X1 I loved — the product showcase section.
Built with HTML/CSS/JS and AI-generated visuals, it taught me a lot about letting scroll tell the story.
Curious — when you showcase products, what grabs your attention first: motion, layout, or story? 👀

Why is everyone turning their logos into disco balls? 🪩
Spotify’s anniversary stunt works because it’s rooted in their DNA—it’s music, it’s celebratory, and it’s meant to be temporary. But turning every other logo into a disco ball just to chase a trend? That misses the point of brand identity.
I started thinking: If I were on the Claude design team and tasked with exploring this 3D/skeuomorphism trend, how would I approach it? I wouldn’t force a disco ball. I’d lean into their core identity: refinement and precision.
Meet the "Gem of Wisdom."
I reimagined the Claude mark as a precious gemstone—tactile, multi-faceted, and premium. By treating the logo as an object of value rather than just a flat icon, I wanted to bring it into a space that feels tangible and intentional.
Process: I used Gemini to generate the initial assets and video iterations, focusing on achieving realistic light refraction and depth.
👇 Do you think brands should blindly turn their logo into a disco ball to jump on a trend, or should they adapt the core concept to fit their own unique identity?
For fun, I guess 🤷🏻♂️

Personal pet peeves
😬 Clients asking for logo design but requiring everything to be done natively in Figma
😬 Clients who reach out for brand or product design but only based on their AI generated images
😬 Asking for premium design for a premium luxury brand… and then negotiating the budget
What's yours?
Let's use this thread as a safe space.
Every single one of these gave me immediate flashbacks! 😂 Especially the luxury aesthetic on a discount budget.
Add this to the list: When they want 'viral short-form content' but refuse to let anyone talk on camera, show a product, or use trending pacing. What exactly are we working with here? 😭 Great thread!
