Description:
I am developing Halora, a premium signature object platform that may eventually support internal digital functionality, but this phase is focused on original product concepts that balance strong brand identity with realistic manufacturing potential.I am not looking for a replica of an existing design, and I am not looking for a purely decorative or purely graphic concept. I want original, ownable, product-driven concepts that could realistically evolve into a manufacturable premium object system.
The goal is to create a distinctive hero core piece that can be used across multiple categories and potentially integrated into secondary bodies or attachment systems such as wearables, keychains, luggage, bag accessories, and other formats.
This should be approached as a modular object system, not just a single fixed item. Presentation files should include PDF and high-resolution PNG/JPG renders.
What I Need
I am looking for multiple concept directions for a premium signature object that can function as the recognizable core element across a family of products.
The design should:
• feel premium, trusted, lasting, and recognizable
• be modular and adaptable across different applications
• show realistic awareness of manufacturing and product development
• preserve room for future internal component integration - 14 mm round minimum
• feel commercially viable, not just conceptual
Core Design Intent
The object should feel:
• trusted
• lasting
• recognizable
• premium
• emotionally resonant
• heirloom-like
• distinct enough to become a brand asset
The core piece should be neutral, iconic, and adaptable, with personality able to shift through its attachment system, scale, material, or finish.
Brand assets are provided for inspiration and alignment. Concepts do not need to directly replicate the logo, but should feel consistent with the brand’s premium, recognizable identity.
Design System Thinking
I want designers to think beyond a single object.
The concept should include:
1. A hero core piece
2. A way that core piece can adapt across multiple product categories
3. Optional secondary bodies, carriers, or attachment systems that the hero piece can integrate into
Examples of applications may include:
• keychain
• luggage attachment
• pendant
• wristband
• shoe attachment
• backpack or bag attachment
• charm carrier
• other wearable or carry applications
The hero piece may function:
• on its own
• inside a secondary body
• as a docked or inserted element
• as a transferable signature object across multiple formats
Modularity Requirement
A strong concept should show how the hero object can function as a modular platform.
I am interested in concepts where the hero object may be:
• inserted
• docked
• seated
• snapped
• clipped
• locked
• slid
• magnetically held
• or otherwise integrated into secondary bodies or carriers
The goal is to create a recognizable core identity that can move across multiple formats without losing its brand language.
Tactile / Emotional Interaction
If possible, I would like designers to explore whether the system can include a subtle physical interaction that adds emotional character.
Examples could include:
• a click
• a snap
• a slide
• a lock
• a twist
• a magnetic seat
• a docking gesture
• another tactile moment that feels satisfying and memorable
This is not required, but it is highly desirable if it can be done in a refined, believable, non-gimmicky way.
The emotional interaction may exist:
• in the hero piece itself
• in how it attaches to a secondary body
• in how it transfers across product types
Manufacturing Awareness
This project should be approached with real-world product development in mind.
I do not need a full engineering package at this stage, but I do want concepts that show awareness of:
• realistic manufacturing methods
• durable form and structure
• printable and finishable surfaces
• repeatable geometry
• realistic wall thickness and durability logic
• believable assembly or modularity
• long-term use
Designs should not ignore manufacturability.
I want concepts that could realistically move into:
• prototyping
• material development
• modular attachment design
• production refinement
Material Direction
Please explore material directions that feel:
• durable
• premium
• stable
• appropriate for products worn or carried by people
• realistic for long-term use
I am open to:
• stainless steel
• titanium
• ceramic
• hybrid material systems
• other durable and realistic premium materials
• sustainable directions if they are believable and manufacturable
Designers may also explore:
• non-metal concepts
• wood concepts
• mixed-material systems
• modular constructions with different shells or carriers
Please avoid concepts that depend on:
• obvious weak decorative plating logic
• fragile-looking materials
• disposable-feeling materials
• unrealistic luxury-only assumptions
• visibly cheap or fashion-trend hardware
Surface / Geometry Requirements
Please design with awareness of:
• printable and finishable surfaces
• smooth, comfortable handling
• realistic edge treatment
• no sharp edges
• no obvious weak points
• believable strength at attachment areas and transitions
The product should feel physically trustworthy.
Color / Finish Direction
For presentation, I would prefer concepts shown in premium restrained palettes such as:
• black
• white
• silver / steel
• charcoal
• smoke / translucent gray
• soft neutral premium tones
The core object should not depend on bright color to work. The shape and object language should be strong enough on their own.
Aesthetic Direction
The object should feel:
• modern
• refined
• calm
• confident
• premium
• enduring
I prefer concepts that rely on:
• shape
• proportion
• silhouette
• material contrast
• surface treatment
• restrained detailing
Deliverables
Please provide:
1. At least 3 original concept directions
2. A hero version of each direction
3. Front, back, and side views where possible
4. Application of the concept across at least 3 product types
5. Notes on modularity and how the core object adapts
6. Material and finish recommendations
7. Basic manufacturing / surface / structural rationale
8. Short explanation of what makes the concept distinctive and brand-ownable
Bonus Deliverables
These are optional but highly valuable:
• exploded concept view
• simple layer or assembly thinking
• attachment logic sketches
• scale variations
• notes on how the concept could evolve into a product family
• ideas for tactile interaction or docking behavior
Wants:
What I Want Designers to SolveI want designers to answer these questions through their concepts:
• What is the recognizable hero object?
• How does it become a modular system?
• How does it adapt across multiple product categories?
• What material directions make it feel premium and lasting?
• What surfaces and forms are realistic to prototype and manufacture?
• Can the object create an emotional bond through shape, interaction, or attachment logic?
Entries will be evaluated on:
• originality
• premium feel
• recognizability
• modularity
• adaptability across categories
• emotional character
• manufacturing awareness
• realism of surfaces and structure
• strength of the hero core piece
• overall potential to become a long-term brand asset
Software: SolidWorks preferred, but any professional CAD platform is acceptable if STEP and STL files can be provided.
Designers may use any professional CAD software, but selected concepts must be deliverable in STEP and STL format, along with the original native source files if chosen for follow-on work.
Presentation files should include PDF and high-resolution PNG/JPG renders.
Don't Wants:
The object should not feel:• like a promotional tag
• like a novelty item
• like a generic medallion or token
• like a cheap keychain accessory
• overly masculine or overly feminine
• gimmicky or trend-driven
Please avoid:
• sharp edges
• fragile-looking thin sections
• obvious structural weak points
• overcomplicated forms that would be hard to prototype or finish
• geometry that only works as a rendering and not as a real produc
• copying any existing concept or render
• generic discs or coins with a logo added
• obvious promotional product styling
• novelty accessory design
• fantasy or decorative-only jewelry thinking
• overengineered concepts with no emotional value
• purely aesthetic concepts with no manufacturing awareness
• sharp edges, fragile appendages, or obvious failure points
• concepts that only work in one category and cannot scale into a system
I do not want concepts that rely heavily on:
• excessive ornamentation
• fantasy styling
• loud graphics
• overexplained symbolism
• generic round discs with branding applied
File Size Limit:
0.5 MB - 0.9 MB
Company Logo:
Yes
Additional Information
Update (4/20)I’m opening this contest to the public to broaden the range of creative thinking and explore more design directions. The goal is to identify a concept that feels unique, modern, and flexible enough to translate across multiple real-world applications while remaining cohesive as a brand system.
Update:
I am open to considering a few different variations, I will give timely feedback. I’m especially liking if the overall branding is cohesive and more importantly a common design feature such as common connection design. or especially feature, etc. please reach out with any questions and I’ll respond as soon as possible.

Hi All- Thank you so much for your patience. I apologize for not responding as quickly as I should have. I truly appreciate your time, effort, and thoughtful work, and I’m very grateful for your continued interest in the contest. I am currently working on feedback tonight.
Hello ! the lack of feedback is not cool
Thanks
Thank you so much for extending the contest date by one month. This gives us more time to prepare and improve our work. Really appreciate your support
Yes. That’s a good idea!
Can you extend the date till 20 or 21Apr?
Hi! I would really love some feedback on this!
hi aprilf give me feedback thanks :)
I had a quick question regarding the design direction
Should the radial symmetry and petal geometry of the logo influence the physical form of the core object?
Should the design emphasize a clear distinction between a central core and interchangeable outer carriers inspired by the logo structure?
Do you prefer a fully symmetrical design inspired by the logo, or a simplified interpretation for a more minimal product form

Hi! Hopefully, I have had a chance to respond to everyone. Your work is beautiful, and I’d really encourage you to keep pushing the concept into a more innovative direction. I’m not just looking for a surface graphic. I’d love to see it reimagined as part of the product itself, such as an integrated tag, badge, or emblem for a cyclist helmet, motorcycle helmet, shoes, or similar applications. I’m especially curious about forms that could feel aerodynamic, intentional, and premium, while also being versatile enough to translate across products and age ranges, from kids to adults.
Wow
Hi I'm waiting for feedback
hi aprilf ,
cn ou give me feedback for my new design
Thanks
cn ou give me feedback for my new design
Thanks
Hi Vipuln- I left a comment yesterday on your design. Please let me know if you cannot locate it and I will message it back to you.
Can you give me some feedback on my design? So I can improve? #7
riteekj- yes, exactly
Hello, so you mean that a container sort of component that has a signature style so that it comes out completely different from everything else which defines the brand (for example the Spirit Of Ecstasy on a rolls royce ) . And it should be attachable to anything and also have a hollow chamber to fit in a chip (14mm) diameter for connectivity wireless ecosystem like apple.

The ballistic friendly version of Pit Vipers
We are looking for sunglasses that have the design heavily influenced by Pit Vipers 2000s model. We expect these glasses to be worn by competitive marksmen and sharp shooters.
We would like to heavily borrow inspiration from the design as we are looking for flashy retro ballistic sun glasses. Our company is called Hawk Eyes
Wearable Pill Storage and Managment
Hi Everyone!
We are excited to see what the community comes up with! Thank you for your amazing designs. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Overview:
In essence, it's a bracelet that holds multiple days worth of a medication and has some of our custom hardware in it. (hardware is roughly .5" by .75", but will become smaller in the future). Please see sketches for further information
Design:
We would like to be able to store different types of pills in different parts of the bracelet. I've included some very rough concepts of my own, but I am by no means a designer or artist and need help figuring out the best way to do this. The CAD image is something that I quickly made for a first prototype a while ago. It is inefficient in terms of storage and very clunky - not what we are going for. An innovative design is the primary thing that we are looking for. We aren't particularly concerned at this point in time if it has fancy waves on the outside, crystals, or beveled edges. It is still important for the bracelet to be aesthetic, but the "jewelry" aspect of this can be done at a later time. It is far more important that we maximize the number of pills that it can hold without having a massive and uncomfortable bracelet. Furthermore, one concept that we are considering is to have a core bracelet that has our hardware in it and then supplementary 'bands' of the medication. We are open to other design options if you think you have something more optimal! If you only have one medication, then there either would only be one band or there can be place holder pieces/blanks that would go in the places if you were to have multiple medications.
Mechanisms:
Access to the pill should be fairly user friendly. I've thought about many different designs, all ranging from individual compartments with covers, one large cover that snaps over, a sliding cover, and even a spring loaded mechanism that pushes out the pills one at a time. I understand that it will be a bit more difficult to make this bracelet compact. Ideally it would hold 1 weeks worth of medication. With that being said, it would be even better if the bracelet held multiple medications, but that is more pills.
Pills:
The type of pill is something that we're currently working with. The larger pills are about 22mm in the greatest dimension. Most pills are circular or oval shaped. The median is approximately 15 mm. Things like birth control, heart medication, seizure medication, etc.
Sports Timing Transponder
We have designed a 2.4 GHz transponder that is used for sports timing. We require a plastic housing to be designed for this small wearable device.
The PCB has a solar cell on one side and a small 40 mAh LiPo battery on the other.
The transponder is used in running, cycling and Triathlon type events, so we need it to be completely waterproof, we prefer that the unit is ultrasonically welded to form a hermetically sealed product.
The transponder will need to worn by runners, attached to bicycle forks, attached onto ankle straps, etc. An approach we would like to take with the design is to allow for the transponder itself to have a minimalistic design with a universal mounting option that allows for it to be attached to a separately designed Bike mount, or wrist strap.
Ie: the Bike Mount would be a separate design that cable ties (zip ties) to the front fork of a bicycle, then the transponder clips onto or locks into the bike mount. This would allow for future designed mounting accessories, while keeping the transponder design standard.
The design considerations include:
- The housing must be completely waterproof (Hermetically sealed). We would prefer that the unit is sealed with ultrasonic welding.
- We use a solar cell on the top of the PCB to charge the small LiPo battery, so there should be a transparent section in the housing to allow for light to reach the solar cell so that the LiPo remains charged.
I have attached an image of the transponder as well as an STL file of the PCB Assembly. We can send further information and output files as required.
