What value would you see in time and money being spent on designing, producing, and continuing to support printing and re-printing these?
Amazing design, love it
Nice design still want a card for participating in the beta
You didnāt keep your original beta card ?
I did - I hope to retire on its sale some day!
Love the design it is sharp and modern
I was thinking about this the other day when my housemate cancelled his card just to get a replacement that said Investor on it. Itās pretty shocking how wasteful bank cards really are. Iād love to see some sort of biodegradable, recyclable or paper-based alternative.
Virtual cards and premium paid for metal cards. Iād like to see both.
Metal cards would be cool. Especially if there was a way to change how expiry dates work.
Virtual cards is already a thing with Apple/Google pay. I just donāt have a fancy enough phone to use that yetā¦
Good work, but I feel like itās waaaaaay too corporate.
Monzo is a counterpoint to the old banks.
This kinda looks like an amex platinum or a fancy hsbc card.
I want some mental crazy stuff, cos Iām an investor.
Iām not pulling out the pink card of fun, Iām pulling out the bad-ass bank disruption card.
Yeah, thatās right, I invested in breaking central banking principles.
Monzo for life.
Here is a design I done but only posted in the other thread redesigning the Monzo card
Here is the post again:
Whilst not a designer but a marketer I think the hot coral has to stay just like Monzo say. I love everything black and would jump at having an all black card, however this is Monzoās brand.
The design isnāt anything ground breaking, itās more of an update of the current version. Trying to achieve the hot coral is a guessing game as Monzo donāt have any official brand guidelines. Also as nice as a white MasterCard logo would be itās not possible based on their guidelines.
I also stuck with the horizontal version as I donāt think the vertical version adds any value apart from looking different and more like a hotel key card. Plus I have a card holder as my wallet, so āmonzoā sticks out nicely and is 1. a good conversation starter and 2. easy way for me to find which card I need.
Personally I think the Monzo should be on the card to help enforce the brand more. And should be changed similar to the app depending on what status/account you have.
But yeah, here is the design and my thoughts.
Now that I prefer.
It is so cool to see so many new ideas for Monzo cards! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do it
To give a bit of an update, weāve only recently started to work on what a new design system for what our cards should look like. Things like our future business banking will require new cards so weāre working on something that would allow us to create new ākindsā of cards in a sustainable and consistent way and without breaking any of the things that make our current cards great.
Weāll be sharing updates soon but I can tell you weāre looking into pretty much every aspect of what makes a card a card. Colours and inks, materials, finishes, magnetic stripes and signature boxes, embossing techniques (now that we have Google and Apple Pay itās not that important to make the card camera-friendly), questioning what information we need printed on the card and what we donāt, etc.
Weāre literally looking at every option to go and make our cards even better (not different, but better). Stay tuned
Why donāt you make it so that people can customise their own card? ie. āNo Numberā, āNo Signature Boxā etc. And maybe a choice of Metal (Ā£5 premium?) vs Plastic?
Iād definitely pay the one-off extra for a custom card
even if itās Ā£1 extra than Monzo would pay (ie. More Ā£Ā£ for Monzo)
Iām definitely a fan of moving the card number/expiry date to the back of the card
What about activating a physical card in the Monzo app? That still requires it to be camera-friendly, doesnāt it? Wouldnāt want to return to the days of typing numbers in!
You will like Android. Just needs a tap at the back of the phone and done, no camera pointing
Iām so glad that we can use NFC on Android
Makes the process seamless
(@SC95 beat me to saying it )
Really nice design Jack!
Donāt change it. Keep it the original card! Shouldnāt discriminate against those that didnāt invest.
