Handy and Talky are the main cast at HelloTalk. Their different personalities create a fun contrast between big ideas and practicality, making HelloTalk's brand feel aspirational yet relatable. Handy and Talky bring different world views to the HelloTalk experience to cover a wide spectrum of emotions that are relatable to any user on a given day.
Eyes are an important part of how our characters communicate with the world. Handy and Talky are easily distinguished by their different eye styles.
Eyes are the main element to convey the character's emotions. You can use enlarged or reduced pupils, lower the upper or lower eyelids, or use highlight graphics to enhance the character's emotions and make our image more lively and interesting.
Handy's mood is expressed by moving both the upper and lower eyelids. Talky's eyes are normally in the state of lowering the eyelid, and can be stretched when he is in high spirits.
· Avoid centering the pupils to create a more natural expression
· Avoid splitting the white and dark space between the eye and the pupil equally
The mouth is another key component of the character’s expression. Designers can use various mouth shapes and elements to depict the different moods of Handy.
Talky’s mouth is typically in the lower right portion of his body. His mouth appears more centrally when he is experiencing more intense emotions such as sadness, frustration, or excitement.
