A simple logo based on the idea of the \"B\" letter shaped in a form of an abstract wallet.
It's simplicity allows the mark to be used in a wide spectrum of applications - including leather embossing.")

1) The game of Rock Paper Scissors - but where Digital always wins
2) The progression of information, from cavemen writing on rock, to paper and now digital
The logo uses a \"Like\" icon as a new hand gesture representing digital marketing in the rock-paper-scissors game. It's also bolder compared to other gestures, symbolizing the superiority of the digital aspect in marketing.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94412/attachment_94412941 "The shape of the M-mark is inspired by the xylophone-style percussion instrument.
It consists of three simple blocks getting shorter towards one side - similar to the the keys on the instrument.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/97/97139/attachment_97139469 "The author used the book name to make a connection between porn addiction and an old story about hunting wolves by using a blood-tipped blade for a bait.
\"Basically they would leave a sharp object (like a knife) up in the ice, cover it in blood and leave it for a few days... A wolf would come, smell the blood, lick it (love it) and keep licking until it bleeds out.
A rather gruesome fable sure, but the idea is that sometimes we as people consume things that we think give us pleasure when in fact they can actually hurt us.\"
--
I came with this concept, where the blood stain on the tip of the blade is shaped as a naked woman having a \"good time\".
The main idea is that the (naked) girl represents the blood (bait) on the metaphorical porn knife for the men to \"lick to their death\"
I also chose a deep pink color rather than red color for the blood so it has a bit less aggressive tone and more passion/porn related feel.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/82/82062/attachment_82062689 "Pro Grow is maximizing your body’s muscle development as you sleep
The logo has two base ideas conveying the message:
1. a subtle moon within the \"O\" shape to emphasize the night aspect
2. the letters of the \"grow\" word are progressively growing (like muscle)")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/102/102348/attachment_102348705 "For this book concept I used photoshoped milk bottle with the milk level below the zero point.
The empty milk bottle plays on one of the single moms biggest worry - being able to feed their child.
The below-zero milk level points to the financial problems, showing there is not enough to meet even the minimum requirements. Like a below-zero bank account.")

For this logo, I made an illustration of a fat smiling bamboo (a cross between bamboo and Buddha) with it's branches forming a meditative gesture.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/57/57905/attachment_57905049 "The logo combines elegant and organic nature of used typography with rough image and texture to emphasize its vintage aspect.
This way the idea of \"Linen & Rust\" (organic and rough) caries over to the logo itself.")

His craft itself is exceptional and his style is both dynamic and brilliant.
But it's his ability to make suggestions, speed to edit and professional communication that makes him world..."
