Challenge
The big idea at the heart of Carousell had been lost in the speed of their growth. The platform had begun to become infamous for lowballers and timewasters. The confused purpose was reflected in a visual identity that needed aligning with an idea that was original and authentic.

Solution
For every product bought or sold, transaction big or small, we know it can be the beginning of a possibility – one that awaits them and their fellow Carouseller. For us at Carousell, buying and selling are just other words for sharing. Sharing what’s possible and what the future may hold for all of us. We aligned the visual identity to the idea of sharing, with simple overlapping colours, and screen-first principles.
