Meet Oni
The green spring onion
A spring onion reminds us of zest, empowerment, and freshness; qualities we’d like to have embodied in someone who talks with us about mental health.
Personality
Oni is friendly, but not overly friendly, zesty, but not toxic positive, and gregarious, but can be assertive.
Goals
Oni is here to make life a little bit easier for the users, encouraging them to be honest each day, and work towards a better mental health.
DESIGN PROCESS
Visual & typography
The colors chosen for Oni represent the spring onion, with secondary colors that complement its green. We focus on creating a safe yet fresh and positive environment.
