My goal was to create a modern and visually engaging learning experience that transforms technical information into simple, understandable, and interactive content.

Evolving a brand with almost 30 years of history is the hard version of brand work. You have to keep what people already trust while making it feel current. Nice job balancing both.
Both look great, but Violet & Black gets my vote! The purple accents give it a more modern, premium feel while keeping the design clean and focused on conversions. Amazing how a color change can create such a different brand personality. Have you tested which version performs better with visitors?
