It’s been six (6) exhilarating weeks of back-breaking work. You may be wondering, “What has the Design and Art Working Group (DAWG) been up to? And are they staying true to the promises in their proposal?”
Well, we’d like to simply say, “Oh, yes! We’ve been keeping our side of the bargain.” But, of what use is it to simply tell and not show?
Hence the purpose of this mini report: to give a short but all-encompassing breakdown of what we’ve accomplished so far.
Before we get right into it, the core of our strategic efforts is a commitment to support Jupiter’s growth and expansion while giving back to the community. Hopefully, by the end of this report, you’ll agree that we’ve stayed true to that mission.
Below is a breakdown of our work, organized by focus areas.
Branding and Visual Identity
We’ve been busy crafting mascots, logos, and visual systems that help Jupiter stand out and stay consistent. These assets aren’t just pretty; they’re purposeful. They ground each working group in a recognisable identity while reinforcing the brand wherever it shows up.
We made the Jup Pro, DevRel, and Uplink Mascots; 25+ Jup Regional logos, Color palette extensions; and JupSync_link branding.
Community Merchandise and Regional Support
From custom Merch to regional banners and stickers across Nigeria, India, Turkey, Spanish region, and beyond, we’ve supported Jupiter’s heartbeat: The community. These designs empower local advocates to rep Jupiter proudly and visibly.
In six (6) short weeks, we’ve supported thirteen (13) countries with event materials, including: the Jupiter Aggregate NYC Merch; Jupiter Nigeria stickers; Spanish stickers and Banners; Jup Nigeria Merch;Event Bottles; Jupiter Philippines; and more.
Content and Media Assets
Each visual and campaign was designed to spark excitement. To also bring people in, and celebrate what makes Jupiter special.
In this area, we made the:
- Devrel Youtube Materials
- Luma Flyer for Jupiter Aggregate
- Jupiter Aggregate Hall Decor
- CAWG Marketing Overlay
- Jupiter emoji for CAWG
Internal and Working Group Support
Beyond the spotlight, we’ve also enabled internal teams with clean, impactful designs. This behind-the-scenes work ensures teams look great doing Jupiter work, and communicate clearly.
Some examples of what we’ve done in this area include: Build Station Deck for CWG, Presentation Slides for CWG - AG, Jupiter Sticker pack, and more.
Community Contributions
At the heart of our efforts is a deep desire to give back to the community. That’s why we launched the Community Art Design Bounty, putting real rewards behind creativity: $1,750 in rewards. It was all the more fulfilling, seeing as the bounty received 265 unique submissions.
Beyond the submission numbers, it was an avenue for creatives to come together, express their love for Jupiter, and improve their skills.
In the same spirit, we started the Jup Design bootcamp 2.0. The Bootcamp is set to equip designers with practical skills while reinforcing a unified Jupiter aesthetics. The program will run for 6 weeks, featuring two exhilarating challenges and a $750 prize pool.
Other contributions we also made include the: Jupiverse Family Tree, Drip X Jup Art, and hosted the first episode of Chill with the DAWG

A Wrap
At this point, you’d agree that the Design and Art Working group is doing great work. And if you still don’t agree, know that we are not stepping on the brake pedals yet. Full on acceleration for the next six weeks (remainder of trial WG phase). There’s more coming for the Community and you should be on the lookout.
Before we stop yapping—here’s a little tea : the Indian community will be hosting the first-ever Jup Hackathon, and we’ll be supporting them with everything from merchandise to media assets and marketing materials.
Also, more Regional Mascots are under development.
It’s been a delight working for the community, and we appreciate all the support we’ve received thus far. We look forward to collaborating more.
