Brand Identity for Tinder
Tinder’s swipe becomes a principle for its whole motion system.
Porto Rocha repositioned and refreshed Tinder for a new generation of daters, shifting its perception from a hook-up app toward a space for open-ended connection and possibility. The work includes a revised flame symbol and wordmark, color and typographic systems, illustration, motion language, and an updated in-app UI system.
