Illustration: Outlined Cartoon (Meng To) 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 Illustration: Outlined Cartoon (Meng To)

The Outlined Cartoon skill draws its own SVG people and objects, with thick black outlines and flat yellow, periwinkle, red and green fills, and builds the whole page around them: chunky Bricolage Grotesque, hard offset shadows and sticker-like cards. The dashboard keeps the cartoon, down to a little character in the summary card. Pick it if you want a friendly, playful product that looks hand-made.

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.

  • minimal modern brands
  • dark-mode products
Flaws we saw
  • the runs take far longer than the web-design skills, because every illustration is drawn by hand in SVG
  • the hard offset shadows on every card make long pages busy
  • 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
