How Island kept its brand refresh growing in Plnty
Island refreshed its brand imagery with Yambo Studio in 2026 and launched Island Enterprise AI, its control plane for the AI workforce, on 3 August.
Seven people at Island made pictures for both in Plnty, starting from a style trained on the refresh's own renders.
01 / Island
A brand world built to grow
Island makes the enterprise browser and, since August, the control plane for a company's AI agents. Its world has been rendered by Yambo Studio, Yam's studio, since its booth at RSAC 2024, and the imagery was refreshed in 2026 in Cinema 4D and Redshift: still lakes, winding rivers, clipped trees and desks set out in open fields, in a short palette of greens and pale skies. A brand that ships every week outgrows any fixed set of renders, so the renders became a style. Twenty-three of them were trained into one on 23 June, and a copy went into the library of everyone at Island on Plnty.
Three styles from one world
Within three weeks of the house style, Tom Chen and Adi Gueta had each trained a style of their own. Tom's, on 2 July, learned from twenty more of Yambo Studio's renders, dusk hills and rooms that look out on mountains, and Adi's, on 10 July, from twenty pictures of clipped hedges, mazes and topiary. Across the team, lora-gen, the card that draws in a trained style, made 124 pictures, and Bar Sharon tried the house style at strengths from 0 to 2 to see how much of the look to take. What came out carried the world past the renders: a meadow of flowers shaped like plus signs, trees clipped into a cone, a sphere and a cube.
02 / The launch and after
The launch film
Island's film for the launch, 103 seconds posted on 4 August, lays the product's interface over landscapes. Two of them came out of Plnty that week, both Adi Gueta's: the mountain sky behind the GitHub, Salesforce and HomeOps cards, a close-up run of 29 July on a forest lake, and the orange sunset inside the Tool Call Protected card, an edit and an upscale of 30 July. The film's other landscapes are Island's own pictures, three of them among the renders the house style learned from, and the edit, the interface and the titles were made outside Plnty.
Transcript
Narrator, 0:00. Let's talk about agents. They're everywhere now, doing all the work your people do. Except your agents aren't your people. They never got the handbook, never did the training. They do their job their way.
Narrator, 0:17. So they use any tool or skill they find, borrow identities, access all kinds of data, and run up costs without asking. But what if there was a way to make sure your agents worked on your terms? Well, there is.
Narrator, 0:34. Island, the control plane for the agentic enterprise. Island puts you in charge of every place your agents and people do the work, showing you every agent, MCP, and skill, even the ones no one approved, and scores them for risk before they do any work.
Narrator, 0:51. You know which identities agents use and what they're used for, so you can easily dial access up or down. Even the private apps that were always off limits.
Narrator, 1:02. Because Island is everywhere work happens, it sees each agent's every move as it happens, and steps in before they step out of bounds. And everything is on record, with one audit trail for all AI activity across the organization.
Narrator, 1:19. Island also makes sure the right model is always on the right task by tracking your AI usage and spend across the organization.
Narrator, 1:28. With Island, you're in control of it all. So your agents and your people just get the job done. Turns out the future of enterprise work arrived early.
On island.io
Tami Ozsinay's landscape on the home page began as a lora-gen run in the house style on 21 July, its cypress rounded with edit-images the same morning, and was on island.io within nine days with office chairs added outside Plnty. The site took more of the team's pictures as they were made. Noam Maoz's upscale of a river through hills, cypresses and office chairs, made on 24 August, became the cover of 'Agents work everywhere now' the next day and Island's LinkedIn post two days after. A tree on a lavender hill, one of Omer Harlap's takes of 21 July, sits on the cards of ten posts, and Bar Sharon's pale grass waves, a style-transfer run of 22 September, are the ground of an Engineering Blog cover the site added on 14 October.

Noam Maoz's Upscale of 24 AugustEvent cards
For it-sa in Nuremberg, Island's carousel of 12 October closed on one of Adi Gueta's takes of 29 July, a green hill with a row of trees cropped tall behind 'See you in Nuremberg!'. Its page on the speaking sessions used Tami's landscape with the chairs, and so did Island's LinkedIn post about onboarding AI agents on 18 September.
A desk in nature
A desk set out in a field is one of the refresh's own images, and the team kept coming back to it. Tom Chen asked lora-gen for a laptop workspace in a landscape on 2 July, Adi Gueta for 'a desk with computer inside a big beautiful forest' on 10 July, and Bar Sharon swapped a green chair for a desk with an open laptop on 9 September. Close-ups turned the scenes into details: the curve of a green chair's back, a pencil cup beside a laptop.
Take your seat
In October Tom Chen set an office chair, a laptop and a desk across five landscapes, rock, snow, water, desert and grass, each lit by one beam of light. Then the pieces moved. In Tom's Seedance 2.5 clip of 5 October the chair rolls up to the desk and the laptop opens, and in Tami Ozsinay's clip of 11 October a lamp, a glass, a laptop and a book float down onto a desk. Tom also landed a plane on an island runway for a window-seat series on 8 October.
Looking for an adventure?
Omer Harlap built Island's hiring campaign around its referral rate: put the people who already work there in the picture. In July Omer made adventure scenes in the house style, a rocky coast, forested mountains and a jungle river, then placed colleagues into them with edit-images, binoculars, maps and snorkels included. The campaign ran on LinkedIn on 3 August as 'Looking for an adventure? We're Hiring', shared by Tami and by colleagues.
Merch for Island life
For the Island life day in September, Island printed an Aloha shirt and a pareo in a pattern by the designer Michal Lurie: flowers, shells and a crab at a keyboard. Omer Harlap made close-ups of the printed fabric the day before and cut them into a clip of the line, posted on 7 September. The same tools went into smaller pieces: an enamel pin for Island's blood drive mocked up by Tami, and a screen-print file Tom made from the Work{space} of Art poster for Gartner in Barcelona.
03 / For brand teams
Running it as a team
Seven people at Island made 1,241 pictures, clips and 3D models on twenty boards between 22 June and 14 October, and the home page, the launch film, the blog and the hiring campaign trace back to single runs among them. In Plnty a brand team can start the same way today: train a style on its own finished renders, put it in every designer's library, and build on it with edit-images, close-ups and the rest. A list in braces sends one sentence many times in a single run, and Rothko can choose the tool and fill in its card from a brief.

How does a brand team keep a consistent visual style across campaign images?
Island's trained it into a style. Yambo Studio turned 23 of the refresh's renders into one, and Island's team drew new pictures with it in lora-gen, then edited, extended and upscaled them with the rest of Plnty's tools. Two of the team trained styles of their own from the same world.
How do you train a style on your brand's own imagery?
Choose finished pictures that share the look. Island's house style learned from 23 renders, Adi Gueta's from 20 pictures of sculpted greenery. In Plnty you train the style from those pictures, then pick it on the lora-gen card and describe the scene you want.
What did Island make outside Plnty?
The office chairs on the home page landscape, the launch film's edit, interface and titles, and the finishing of three of the four hiring pictures. The refresh's renders were made by Yambo Studio in Cinema 4D and Redshift.
Outcome and limitations
What the process achieved
Island's home page, AI page, launch post, launch film, blog covers, event cards, hiring campaign and merch carry pictures its own team made in Plnty between 21 July and 22 September 2026.
What required manual work
The chairs on the home page landscape, the film's edit and titles, and the hiring campaign's finishing were done outside Plnty.
What remained unresolved
Which style each of the team's first lora-gen runs used is not on record.
Sources and methodology
Every picture and clip here is a real run on the island.io accounts on Plnty, read from each run's own record on 15 October 2026: its tool, its model, the words typed, the picture it was made from and when. Where a picture on island.io or LinkedIn is named as a run, it was matched to that run by keypoints and checked by eye. Yambo Studio's renders are from its Behance project Island Refresh Imagery; the 23 the house style learned from match that set, and five of Tom Chen's twenty training pictures match renders in Island's own Behind the Island Brand. The island.io pages are as the site served them on 15 October 2026. The launch film is Island's own, as Island posted it on LinkedIn on 4 August 2026, with its sound; its transcript was made by machine from that sound. The tool counts are the finished results on the accounts' boards and in their libraries, 22 June to 14 October 2026.
