About the project
From chaos in text messages and messengers to… HRmonia.
HRmonia is an HR system for small and medium-sized companies, created by an entrepreneur for entrepreneurs who value their time and convenience. It brings leave requests, the team calendar and reports for HR and payroll into one place, on the web and on the phone.
We designed the brand and the product: a friendly visual identity, a brand hero who guides users through the app, and the key screens of the application and the website.
The challenge
“Our goal was to deliver the key value to users as quickly as possible.”
For the MVP we focused on three things:
- 01
Visual identity
Creating a friendly brand that builds trust, in a category usually known for cold, technical tools.
- 02
Brand hero
Bringing Monia from HR to life: a character who guides users through the app, helps them and warms up the whole system.
- 03
UI/UX design
Designing the key screens of the app and the website so that even complicated HR processes feel simple and intuitive.
Visual identity
Deep navy, a confident violet and one rounded typeface.
The logo turns the letters HR into a compact signet: a dot over the R and a violet underline that also marks “HR” in the full HRmonia wordmark. It works as an app icon, in the interface and in marketing.
The palette is built on deep navy and a bright violet accent, and the whole system is set in Poppins, a rounded geometric typeface that keeps the product friendly and easy to read.
#130B3A
Deep navy for backgrounds and text.
#110822
Near-black for contrast and dark surfaces.
#7D4FF3
Violet accent for actions, highlights and the underline.
Poppins
One typeface for the logo, the interface and marketing.
Brand hero
Meet Monia from HR.
Monia is the face of the brand. She guides users through the app and appears on the website and in social media, making HR feel human instead of bureaucratic.
A consistent 3D character with a set of poses and scenes gives the brand a recognisable personality that a plain interface could never have.
UI/UX design
Everything a small team needs, in one place.
We designed the key screens of the application and the website so that requesting a day off or checking leave takes seconds, for employees and managers alike.
Dashboard
A clear overview: pending requests, leave used this year and quick links to the calendar, requests and the team.
Leave requests
All requests in one place, with notifications about their status and a calendar of who is available.
Reports for HR and payroll
Data for payroll is generated quickly, without collecting it from messages and spreadsheets.
An app for the whole team
Online access around the clock, push notifications and an app for iOS and Android.
Development
Design and technology, working as one.
The implementation was handled by SoftCareHouse, who translated the vision and the design into fully working code. A great example of design and technology working together.
Results & summary
A friendly MVP that makes HR simple from day one.
HRmonia launched with a brand people trust, a character they remember and an interface that turns leave management from chaos in messages into a few clicks.
The identity, Monia and the design system are ready to grow together with the product.
