Branding
Initially, the Fueled team began by creating a night and day theme in the blueprints of the app. These were then used to explore concepts for Dayo’s app icon. The sun and moon designs were expanded upon to include planetary orbits to show the passage of time.
The Final Brand
After exploring a multitude of concepts, the final icon emerged. Two ellipses were placed within the icon grid to produce an offset orbit. A unique design that allowed the rest of the interface to flourish.
User Experience
Dayo is built on the foundation of days as the unit of sharing. Photos are passively captured leaving the user uninterrupted as their day unfolds. They are then able to create beautifully presented stories that transition from day to night.
App Design
When it came to designing the interface of the app, the Fueled team created a whole set of unique icons based on time. These were paired with harmonious midnight navy blues and daytime whites to create Dayo’s style.
Day & Night
The day and night design is hinted throughout the whole app but where it really comes to life is when looking at a published day. The interface slides in to night view to coincide with the content it presents.

A range of icons were created to show when a users day begins.
