In the end, the competition holders wanted a design that was just a reworking of the old one rather than something new, however. I still like it, though, and will probably use some of its ideas in future projects.")

Profile of the Statue of Liberty is based on a photo from my visit to the Big Apple a few years ago. I replaced the iconic torch with a rolling pin, and made a retro-looking flag-flowing text.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/25/25962/attachment_25962562 "Not the winning design from a competition that I did win, but I quite like the clean look of this one, the font having a quality about it reminiscent of stylised Japanese characters as well as having altered the dot over the i to make it bigger and red, with clear connotations to Japan again.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/24/24372/attachment_24372455 "One of my first winning designs, for a dentist. For this one, instead of using a pre-existing font, I based it on my own handwriting for a friendly, unique look. I delivered this in several different colour schemes for different uses, and also to illustrate how it would look as a sign in silver.")

It went through several iterations, the first ones being quite nice too, though a lot more organic looking compared to the more luxurious and exclusive design I ended up with.")

For a driving school in Germany, using a modern font that easily gives an automotive connotation, and a dynamic look, the N modified and made reminiscent of traffic signs.")

"GalleryHakon listened to the feedback and followed through with making changes. Not only was the submitted design what "we wanted", he made the attempt to ask questions if he was unsure of what it was "we wanted" Great contest entrant!! "
