YC Facelift: Flutter

I said I’d do this every week or so, but the simplicity of this next app and my design made for a quick completion.

Next up to bat: Flutter. Flutter is an app that gives you Jedi-like control over your music and movie playback. The first time I used the app, I kept playing and pausing my music for about 5 straight minutes before I tried convincing a few friends I was Lance Burton.

The app has a magical feel to it – the kind you might have felt when swiping and tapping the iPhone for the first time. It’s a fun app with lots of potential.

I tried keeping it simple, fun, and Apple-esque. I set the logo typeface to all lowercase letters and opted for colors that weren’t too serious, making the overall image more playful. A reference to Star Wars and a talking computer helped with that too. Finally, learning from the last YC Facelift (thanks for all the feedback), I tried to make the product description as clear as possible. 

Flutter folks, feel free to email me for the .psd. My email is kyro@kyrobeshay.com.
