MiniStudio is a revolutionary AI platform that turns kids’ drawings into 3D characters with the magic of generative AI. The mission is to empower children with their own imaginations and inspire them to draw, create, and dream.

The founder of MiniStudio has a unique history that informs her vision. She grew up in war-torn Lebanon where she starred in a public access television show for kids where her drawings were brought to life on stage with costumes, skits and songs. It became a phenomenal hit that brought joy to children across the Middle East for 25 years. The experience gave the founder astounding creative confidence. MiniStudio is designed to show kids everywhere that their imaginations can do incredible things, too.

Right now, AI is exploding - and maybe becoming sentient as we speak. MiniStudio needed to stand out. Meaningful Works combined strategy and design to sculpt a brand that was unlike any other AI company. Our goal was to humanize it by bringing the founder’s passion and vision to each expression from the logo to the website and everything in between.

We built a strategic foundation defining the core values, a mission, and a promise. With these elements, we crafted a brand anthem that turned the founder’s story into a legend bridging her childhood show with her global mission.

To use MiniStudio, a physical drawing must be made before the app can work its magic. This inspired us to revisit our process. Instead of conducting logo design exploration on a computer, we put pencil to paper first. The hand-drawn logo was born from one connected line- simple and playful, yet bold.

Meaningful Works built a visual and verbal language that complements the MiniStudio experience. Rather than branding yet another AI company that may or may not be plotting the end of civilization as we know it, we uncovered the heart behind MiniStudio: the founder herself. Her history and her future are as inspiring as her company and Meaningful Works built a brand look and feel that reflects and amplifies that humanity.
