Project Overview
The Client
Takamo Universe is a science fiction brand and publishing platform built around an expansive multiverse concept that originated in 1982 as a play-by-mail game. Today, it’s a vibrant creative hub connecting fans and creators through books, digital content, and community-driven storytelling.
The Challenge
The client wanted a complete redesign to reimagine their digital presence as a visually stunning, immersive experience that reflected the depth and creativity of the Takamo Universe. They also needed e-commerce functionality to sell books and merchandise, and subscription tools to build a loyal community of readers and creators.

Creative Execution
Impact and Creativity
The Takamo Universe website delivers a visually immersive sci-fi experience through cinematic imagery, glowing typography, and deep-space palettes. Hero sections feature looping starfields, nebula-inspired gradients, and dynamic transitions that echo the scale of a galactic saga. Each series, such as Muto Chronicles and Aeon Project, has unique visual treatments, creating a cohesive yet varied design that draws visitors into different corners of the universe.
Functionality and User Experience
Navigation is intuitive, with a dropdown “Titles” menu categorising stories by series, making exploration simple. The integrated store allows users to browse, preview, and purchase books seamlessly. The layout adapts perfectly across devices, and strategically placed CTAs like “Explore” and “Browse Titles” guide users naturally through the storytelling journey.
Branding and Storytelling
Takamo’s brand identity merges literature with worldbuilding. Copywriting speaks in a poetic, cosmic tone, reinforcing its identity as a deep, interconnected multiverse. Visual storytelling extends into imagery, every book cover, background, and banner contributes to the overarching lore, turning the website into an entry point to the Takamo mythos.
Execution and Design Excellence
The site demonstrates exceptional Squarespace craftsmanship, blending custom CSS animations, responsive layouts, and atmospheric photography. Interactive transitions and clean typography enhance readability without breaking immersion. The balance between aesthetic storytelling and practical usability showcases Visuable’s mastery of strategic creative design , transforming Takamo’s legacy into a living, digital universe.
Summary
The Takamo Universe project demonstrates how thoughtful design and functionality can transform storytelling into an interactive digital journey. Through our Full Squarespace Website, Complete E-commerce, and Online Subscription packages, we built a dynamic hub that connects fans and creators across the cosmos. The result is an online presence that not only looks spectacular but performs seamlessly, a true reflection of a universe that continues to expand.
