Lingo (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.

Lingo (Awesome Design Skills)

4/5

Lingo makes Tally look like a language-learning app: Nunito everywhere, bright green buttons with a chunky 3D bottom edge, rounded cards and a friendly envelope mascot. The dashboard has a smiling coin next to the "Left to budget" card and color-coded envelope icons. It is cheerful and very consistent across both pages. Pick it for friendly consumer products aimed at beginners.

Illustration: Vintage Emblem (Meng To)

4/5

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.

Not great for	serious finance or B2B tools luxury brands data-heavy admin screens	tech and developer tools minimal modern brands dark-mode products
Flaws we saw	the mascot and bright green can feel childish for a money app dashboard: the many colored chips and badges compete for attention	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
