Hallmark 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.

Hallmark

4/5

Hallmark turns Tally into a cheerful yellow-and-pastel brand in Plus Jakarta Sans with big ghost numerals, and the dashboard matches it. The most consistent result in the set, but it took about 12 minutes per brief.

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.

Flaws we saw	landing and dashboard: the mono labels run very small and get hard to read each brief took about 12 minutes (742 s and 722 s), about five times the baseline's 143 s and 125 s	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
