Never once did I think that designing two app interfaces for a Patient Recruitment company would lead me to create over 100 badge icons for various destination spots around the world. The story goes as follows: Acurian needed a way to get patients enrolled in a clinical trial to stay on the right track and to keep them engaged for the duration of their trial. How, you ask? By taking them on a journey to different places around the world, of course. With each destination came its own unique badge illustration that fit perfectly within the style of the app.
