This month, we're thrilled to spotlight a recent logo and branding project for Oli Wonders, an iOS app developer specializing in utility and productivity tools. Designed by our talented creative partner Dani Renwick, the brand captures the essence of a creative tech wizard. A wand-like forward... slash—with a sprinkle of spites—nods to the magic of development, while the gear-shaped “O” grounds the identity in functionality and purpose. We geeked out on every detail of this brand and loved bringing it to life alongside a client who truly embraces both imagination and utility.
At LaLa Projects, we believe a logo is more than just a graphic – it’s the face of your brand, a reflection of your mission, and a promise to your audience.
