API architecture - RESTful endpoints for programmatic access

Developer Experience

// Simple API usage example
fetch('https://api.nigerianbanklogos.xyz')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(logos => {
    // Access to all Nigerian bank logos programmatically
    console.log(logos);
  }

Figma Plugin Architecture

Built complementary Figma plugin that:

Syncs with main database - always up-to-date logo collection

Drag-and-drop insertion - seamless integration into design workflow

Search within Figma - no need to leave design environment

Multiple format support - insert as SVG or convert to other formats

Sometimes the best projects start with a simple observation: "This should exist, but it doesn't." Three days later, hundreds of people agree.
