Roam Research Unsolicited Redesign

I've been kicking the tires on Roam Research for the last couple weeks and I love the app. You can tell it has come from someone who has thought deeply about the problem and has a clear-eyed view of what it should be. You can just organically write, and the app self-structures around it. You no longer have to consider where something should 'be'. Try it out!

That said, I've needed a distraction this week, and I decided I wanted to see if I could create something that would fit how I imagine Roam could be branded and designed as a product.

The logo is based on their original, which is a depiction of an astrolabe (look it up!). I decided to simplify it while including the key component to its function. I then did a bit of a lipstick redesign of the app, as I feel like a lot of the core elements are there, they just needed a little love.

Would love to know what the #roamcult thinks!
