Bold (Awesome Design Skills) vs Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

Tied at 4/5 on the same brief. Pick by fit: the rows below show where each one is stronger.

Both built the Tally landing page in the same Claude Code test. Shared tasks: Visual direction, Landing pages.

Tally landing page made with Bold (Awesome Design Skills)

Bold gives Tally a poster: huge uppercase Archivo Black headlines, thick black borders with hard offset shadows, a blue-and-yellow accent pair and a tilted phone in the hero. The dashboard keeps the same voice with a black sidebar, a big black "spent so far" card and striped red for the over-budget envelope. Both pages read clearly and work on a phone. Pick it when you want a product page that shouts.

Tally landing page made with Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

The Vintage Emblem skill gives Tally a heritage badge, a sealed envelope inside a stamped emblem, and builds a print-shop brand around it: Anton capitals, Libre Caslon text, cream stock, deep forest ink and terracotta. The dashboard wears the same badge and colors, with Oswald headings. Pick it for brands that want craft, trust and a little nostalgia.

Good fit for
  • consumer apps with a loud brand
  • launch and campaign pages
  • SaaS landing pages
  • product dashboards that need personality
  • heritage and craft brands
  • local businesses
  • food and drink
  • friendly finance with personality
Not great for
  • quiet enterprise tools
  • luxury or editorial brands
  • dense data tables
  • tech and developer tools
  • minimal modern brands
  • dark-mode products
Flaws we saw
  • landing: the hero headline is so large that the value line and buttons sit low on a laptop screen
  • dashboard: heavy borders on every card make the page feel busy in long lists
  • the runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the badge is drawn in SVG
  • dashboard: the tan and terracotta bars are close in tone
