The playful typography is enhanced with soft curves and a bright colour palette, giving the brand a fun yet polished identity. With Birdie expanding into the e-commerce space, this logo perfectly embodies their vision—bringing effortless, stylish beauty to the fingertips of their customers. The retro-inspired design reflects Birdie’s confidence in standing out while staying connected to timeless style.")

The challenge was to create a brand that deviated from traditional healthcare aesthetics, while still exuding high-end professionalism and trust.
The final design features an abstract snake motif, symbolizing healing and wisdom, paired with a palette of earthy greens to evoke a sense of grounded sophistication. This approach moves away from the typical blues and whites often seen in the sector, aligning the brand with its target audience of CEOs and founders seeking a premium, high-value consultancy service.")

The challenge was to create a symbol that not only represented the professionalism and expertise of the practice but also embodied the concepts of holistic well-being and renewal.
The result was an abstract logo that subtly resembles a figure reaching for the sky, representing freedom of mind and body. The clean, minimalistic design, paired with earthy, luxurious tones, conveys both the elegance and transformative nature of Dr. Polacco’s services. The logo is versatile, translating seamlessly across various mediums such as business cards, digital interfaces, and branded materials, giving the practice a distinguished and cohesive identity.")

The goal of the branding was to capture the sense of wonder and imagination that children experience while playing. The playful and soft logo combines bold, rounded typography with whimsical elements, like a cloud, star, and geometric shapes, to reflect the fun and exploratory environment at DreamPlay. A soothing yet vibrant color palette was chosen to appeal to both children and parents alike, creating a welcoming, joyful identity for the brand.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/139/139546/attachment_139546707 "Viamotive, a company specialising in buses and coaches, is making the important transition from fossil fuels to green energy. When designing their logo, I deliberately steered away from overused symbols like leaves or lightning bolts. Instead, I created a design that feels both unique and abstract, reflecting the company’s evolving journey. The movement within the 'V' embodies this transition, while a sharp spike at the end symbolizes the energy and forward momentum of their new direction.")

Whether you're an active dunker, a fan of the game, or simply love watching basketball, DUNKR's identity needed to speak to the heart of the community. The bold, clean typography brings a raw, dynamic feel to the brand, embodying the strength and excitement that dunking represents. This logo is built to resonate with athletes and fans alike, representing the spirit of the game both on and off the court.")

While they were generally happy with the original design, they felt it lacked a touch of professionalism. After evaluating the logo, I envisioned a retro, vintage-inspired update that would enhance its charm and give it a timeless feel. Using a simple, bold two-color palette, the redesign captures the café’s warm, inviting atmosphere while staying true to its classic diner roots. The result is a logo that feels both nostalgic and fresh, perfectly aligning with the café’s friendly, down-to-earth vibe.")

Known for their trendy late-night vibe and diverse cookie offerings, the owners felt their existing logo didn’t reflect the fun and energetic spirit of the brand.
After seeing my previous work for Birdie, they requested a retro feel for their new logo. I focused on creating a typeface that conveyed a nostalgic, playful essence but with softer, more rounded edges to maintain a fun, approachable vibe. By incorporating vibrant colours, I was able to elevate their brand and make it stand out, aligning with their goal to be the heart of the local late-night bakery scene. The new logo is now prominently featured on their packaging, helping to solidify Crush Cookie Bar's identity as a fun, modern, and delicious destination for cookie lovers.")

A boujee clean, strong, modern logo was needed for a new women's fashion brand. An icon in a similar vein to Gucci was required in the brief to which I played on a similar idea with a slightly more abstract approach.")

For this brand, I aimed to create a logo that feels modern, vibrant, and instantly recognisable. The result is an abstract 'F' mark that incorporates organic, environmentally inspired elements, reflecting the company’s core philosophies and values.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/149/149751/attachment_149751214 "For NupaVital, a fresh player in the EU nutrition market, I crafted a minimal yet distinctive logo to reflect their mission of promoting natural health. The design merges an abstract \"N\" with a leaf motif, symbolising growth, vitality, and a connection to nature. The clean lines and organic forms resonate with NupaVital’s commitment to natural ingredients and sustainability, while the sleek typeface adds a modern touch to the brand's identity.
The logo was designed to be versatile, appearing equally impactful in both monochrome and coloured applications, as seen in a dynamic palette of earthy tones and vibrant accent colours. This ensures consistency across different branding materials, from packaging to digital platforms. The result is a visual identity that captures the essence of NupaVital’s nutritional focus and forward-thinking values.")
