Blockchain technology, while revolutionary, is often perceived as complex and intimidating. Paybe, under the creative direction of Stepan Solodkov and his team, including Indrek Viiderfeld and Alvar Lonks, has taken a different approach. Rather than using complex graphical elements to represent blockchain dynamics, Paybe has opted for a more human-centric design. The goal is to make blockchain technology more approachable and understandable for customers.
The design of Paybe is based on the fundamental principles of blockchain, where information is not a single entity but divided into numerous blocks or keys. Paybe collects these units and allows its customers to be their full owners. This unique property sets Paybe apart from its competitors and makes it a game-changer in the field of crypto and fiat asset management.
The logo of Paybe is a testament to its innovative approach. Solodkov has created a unique typographic solution for the logo, which visually appears to be in the process of assembly. This represents the assembling of different blocks into a single whole, mirroring the function of Paybe. A proprietary graphics system, also based on the assembly of parts into a whole, further reinforces this concept.
Paybe's innovative design has not gone unnoticed. In 2018, it was awarded Silver in the A' Graphics, Illustration, and Visual Communication Design Award. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and Paybe certainly fits the bill. Its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill have been admired, showcasing a remarkable level of excellence and introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
Paybe is a shining example of how design can simplify complex technology and make it more accessible. Solodkov's innovative design approach has not only made Paybe a success but also contributed to the broader understanding and acceptance of blockchain technology. It's a testament to the power of design in bridging the gap between technology and the masses.
