Suit up for a Virtual Rummy Game

Can the traditional Rummy experience, typically consisting of an evening with friends or a family occasion - create the same level of immersion, virtually? The team at Elephant worked with Wild Spades to defiantly say : Yes. A consistent visual style, immersive features placed at key points of the user's app journey and design that promotes the social aspect of Rummy - all went into the creation of Rummy Tunes. The result? Enjoying a Rummy game with your friends has never been easier online!

The Online World of Pet Parents

Pet parents can immerse themselves in Petstar’s adorable, synergistic and scientifically playful world by simply visiting their website. Features like the slider-style feeding guide, a relevant, concern-driven chatbot and direct interactions on every page ensure that Petstar adopters get the best value, and the best digital interactions by deviating from overtly functional, dull websites. Being a pet-parent is exciting – so why shouldn’t their nourishment be, too?
The website is still evolving as you read this. So don't forget to check it later for buying stuff for your pets...

Customized Flours at your Doorstep

Online presence makes or breaks consumer perceptions of your brand. Digital + UI/UX Design solutions, if done right, can translate your brand’s identity, core strengths, services and more on to the omnipresent screen. Our case study showcase explores the infinite possibilities within this niche, beginning with our UI/UX design for Floryo.
The importance of flour in the Indian kitchen cannot be overstated. It is THE core and at the same time, an ideal accompaniment in many, many dishes. Floryo – a brand-new startup seeking to disrupt the Indian flour industry – distinguished itself by providing customers with personalized, made-to-order flours with added nutrition. The fact that people would purchase these products on their online platform made it essential that their purchase experience be seamless and hassle-free. Our work for their website ensured that it became an extension of the brand’s personality and packaging, which our teams had already established. The potent use of illustrations and other design language elements resulted in the user experience being as personalized and convenient as the product, catalysing purchase decisions with ease.

Team Elephant at Kochi Muziris Biennale

Getting inspired, staying inspired and being an inspiration are all part of being a creative team.
While inspiration can come from anywhere in the universe, the best of imagination and unlocking of ideas happens from experiencing expressions of other artistes.
That is exactly what some of our team is doing over an extended weekend at #KochiMuzirisBiennale

Elephant at Pune Design Festival 2023

Knowledge and creativity are essential for both: personal and collective growth in the world of design. But how do we go about acquiring those? At Elephant, collaboration and resource-sharing are the pillars of our functioning - and we believe them to be the best catalysts for consistent evolution.

This also happens to be the central premise for the Pune Design Festival. Several members of the team attended the 17th Edition - whose ecstatic faces you can see - and actively engaged with the sessions, workshops, panel discussions and more. Our future-focused approach also found common ground with PDF's theme for 2023: a futurist agenda for design in the next 25 years for India and the world. 

Watching the design community come together as one to network, exchange ideas, celebrate creativity and discuss innovative methods of problem-solving was a sight to behold. We look forward to keeping this creative momentum going within our community, as well other fora and festivals aimed at the finer intersections of creativity and design!

Designing for Contradictions

Wicked Gud :
Santa would genuinely be confused at the prospect of Wicked Gud, the pasta inspired from the whole-grain, maida-free goodness of the Indian kitchen. After all, can something be so bad that...it's actually good? Our team built on the paradoxical name we coined with packaging design rich in playful neons and other category-defying elements like the absence of a conventional, functional 'back of pack'. This is a perfect treat during the holiday season with an unheard promise: junk food that's actually Gud for you!

Elephant design did packaging design and system for Tata Tea's 'Care'

Tata Tea Care -
Excitement and outward enthusiasm are all too common during the year-end holiday season. But what about taking some time out for yourself amidst all the chaos? Here's our packaging design and system for Tata Tea's 'Care' where there's a soothing tea for every scenario, from cleansing to digestion. Our use of the thick-thin Didone font, combined with equal-yet-ingenious focus on both: ingredients and benefits was a key highlight. Find that time to kick back, take a sip from this care package and experience the wellbeing you so deserve.

Festive Indulgence - Re-Boxed

Is there a better way to kick off the holiday season than indulging in the divine combination of Pizza & Football? We wanted to show off our packaging for Viva Roma (name also coined by us) - Domino's gourmet range of pizzas, invoking authenticity and freshness, where every occasion can be made that much more special. Just a little something to think about while treating yourself to your steaming box of yummy, bready goodness!
