The letters DW are repeated and intertwined to form a unique graphic suggestive of 'wire sculpture'. This is paired with simple modern type for a strong and sophisticated feel.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/79/79023/attachment_79023007 "This logo was conceived for an artist who designs high-end personalised stationery and invitations. She asked for a hip typographic logo and when I researched her work online, I found that she often uses collage and old printing techniques like letterpress. I decided to create a 'typographic collage' which references old/vintage fonts – engraved, classic, typewriter – for an off-beat and distinctive logo. I chose to use the number 6 to represent sixth so that the logo is less literal, and the small letter 'b' dangles from the ampersand to suggest a berry hanging from a tree.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/77/77387/attachment_77387825 "This logo for a range of premium teas called Studio Line was designed to complement the client's existing branding for Sahara Tea. The teapot is very simply illustrated, to match existing logos, but incorporated into a circular design to provide a point of difference. The logo can be used in colour or, with the teapot outlined, printed in a single colour – as shown on the tins. Various iterations of the logo showcase its flexibility.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/80/80600/attachment_80600316 "I chose to represent the location of this paediatric clinic in Savannah by using whales, as the North Atlantic Right Whale is Georgia's state marine mammal. The stethoscope alludes to medical practice and is incorporated into the design in a playful way. The colours are fresh and ocean-themed and the type is modern and very readable. This simple design is both elegant and fun, and would appeal to both mothers and children.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/79/79578/attachment_79578177 "The client sells inflatable pools and accessories, as well as children's toys, and wanted a playful logo for their online business. I drew an inflatable flamingo then gave it legs to make it more absurd and fun. The image is perfectly complemented by 'inflatable' style type which further suggests the client's inflatable products. I chose pastel colours to create a feminine tone, as the market will be mostly mothers, and paired them with brighter colours for a fresh modern feel.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/80/80543/attachment_80543111 "The client wanted a typographic logo with a series of party-themed icons which could be used across a range of promotional materials. I gave the icons personality by turning them into simple characters, and used bright, engaging colours which would appeal to both kids and parents. The typography is customised and incorporates a party hat with a pair of eyes to match the eyes in the character icons – which ties together the graphics and type both visually and conceptually. The result is fun, fresh and very kid friendly.")

I used a cat to illustrate yoga, as it's cute, and also gender neutral, and paired it with a big brightly-coloured apple to suggest nutrition. As shown, the logo works well in different colour combinations and the cat can also be used on its own, and doing different yoga poses, making this a very versatile design.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/74/74619/attachment_74619916 "The brief called for a modern minimalist logo for a young and hip education and career consultancy. I chose to incorporate the company initials as part of the couch illustration – Y forms the centre of the backrest and C creates the cushion on the right.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/72/72584/attachment_72584470 "This design references the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, for a store specialising in high end clothing for young children.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/77/77547/attachment_77547603 "For this strong simple logo I deliberately made the lemon a bit wonky as I wanted the overall look and feel to be friendly and approachable, as opposed to perfectly constructed and too slick. The 'chalky' font complements the naive style of the lemon and suggests handwriting on a cafe menu board, while still being very easy to read. Instead of opting for a yellow lemon, I chose to make it black, so that the bright yellows and greens of the text really 'pop'. The logo works well printed in a range of single colours, chosen to highlight/complement the flavours of the juices and smoothies shown.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/76/76058/attachment_76058255 "The challenge was to design a minimalist, very personal, handwritten style logo for a designer working in the advertising industry. The 'fw' is simple, bold and striking and, as shown, it can be incorporated into the design of business cards and stationery in a variety of visually interesting ways.")

Über uns
Hi, I’m Ruth
I have been designing books – for major international and independent publishing houses – for over twenty years and have won multiple design awards. I also design logos.
I believe good design is first and foremost about telling a story. Whether you need a logo designed for your product or service, or a beautifully crafted book, I can help you to find and tell your story in a uniquely visual way.
Send me a message. I look forward to working with you on your story!
