• Koto rebrands restaurant discovery app Franki

  BP&O · Oct 6, 2026

  Koto has rebranded Franki, a social restaurant-discovery and rewards app founded in Austin in 2020. The identity shifts Franki toward a warmer, community-led proposition through a vivid yellow, black and gold palette, a playful wordmark, rounded typography, a morphing eye symbol, and human-focused photography. While the author questions parts of Koto's "make time dance" strategy and archetype framing, she considers the resulting identity distinctive, lively and highly effective.
