Cobalt
Cobalt is an app security startup in San Francisco. We helped them with a brand and site.
Cobalt started life as Crowdcurity, as the name suggests, a crowdsourced web-app security testing startup in San Francisco, run by a great team of Danish Vikings. We helped with a new name, an eyeball / combination lock-inspired mark, and an approachable brand wrapped around it all.
With the site, we aimed to make their range of services clear, simple and accessible, with a friendly voice. We also did a brief UI pass over Central, their web dashboard, to clean it up.
As a big part of the site is the leaderboards for their security testers, where they get ranked against their peers, we worked with illustrator Marty Cook to create a range of icons representing all the bug types they can fix in client's applications — from access control to an SQL injection.
