Hey everyone 
I’m Jay, a Product Designer at Monzo. I work on helping you all grow your money through Savings and some other exciting things we have coming down the line.
As you’ll all be aware, we announced our brand refresh late last year. You will have seen us start to update the app with new fonts, colours and now, new illustrations.
Rolling all of this out into a product with 7 million customers is no mean feat. Ensuring everything is accessible, consistent and works across Personal, Business, Plus, Premium, Light mode, Dark mode etc makes this a fun challenge. Oh, and don’t forget overview (App Evolution) and all of the new structural changes we’re making.
Updating the new Pot images, a peek behind the scenes
We based the new Pot images on data we had about how customers use Pots.
Some interesting numbers for you:
- Almost a third of Pots are themed around saving
- Over 300k Pots are created each month
- There have been 4.9m unique Pot names
The 7 most popular pot themes are:
- Saving
- Holiday
- Bills
- Rainy day
- Rent
- Car
- House
Business have a few unique Pot names like, ‘Tax’ and ‘Wages’ which is why we have a custom set for business. Business also has a slightly different colour scheme.
You can read more about our pot naming data here.
A look at the new images
As always, let us know your thoughts below. Feel free to share how you use these new images with us too! Making sure to hide any personal information.
If you try these and they’re not to your taste. Then you can still always upload your own images. You can also find nice royalty free images on Unsplash.
These will be going live to all customers on March 6th.
Shout out to @JuanDirection and @emmagarland and @samuelbranter for your help with this.
