At the center of the logo is a coffee cup in negative space. It is surrounded by a shape that is subliminally reminiscent of two spotlights aimed at the cup. Although the message is more subliminal, the outer shape draws the eye to the coffee cup: at Moccorte we focus all our energy and passion on excellent handcrafted coffee. Just as subliminally, the outer shape alludes to a crown, reinforcing the impression of a premium product. The interplay of negative and positive space also forms the initial letter M for Moccorte.
After the logo, I was invited to work on the label/packaging design. This was not only fun but also had the pleasant side effect of giving me the chance to taste all the Moccorte varieties. And I can say: they are delicious and inspire creative spirits.")

Each of the individual locations has its own identity and name. On the Family Flowers website, people can order for all of the shops and through a network of florist partners around the country.
The Family Flowers logo consists of three hearts, which together form the shape of a flower. While you immediately recognize the heart in the center, it may take a closer look to discover that there are more: the left side of the middle heart also forms the right side of the heart to the left (and the same applies to the heart on the other side)
The logo supports the philosophy of the company, conveying a positive, family-based, kind, sophisticated but also fun and modern image. The customer and his team love the logo. And so do I.")

To represent the music and stage show of Shaymani, I wanted to create a logo that conveys mystic, nature and modernity. The modern aspect is presented in a beautiful modern mono-line design. The dreamcatcher object connects with mysticism. There is an abstract bird in the middle of the circle and feathers beyond it, which connects with nature. Ths bird is also a stylised \"S\" which connects to the band-name. In the interplay with the circle and the \"S\" you can spot a reference to the Yin-and-Yang symbol, so there is also a connection to philosophy. Still the logo is amazingly simple.")

My design targets both: the parents and the kids. For parents the crowned design speaks for a high class product, whereas kids will associate themselves with little princesses and princes. An important issue for the customer was to go unisex, which works great with this symbol that boys recognize as a prince while girls see a princess. The initial letter Z of Zapeti functions as an inherit part of the symbol.")

This design proposal integrates an embroidery needle into the \"Urbane Stickerei\" lettering. The needle itself forms the letter \"i\" of Stickerei, while the thread on the left forms the S, then swings through the needle and forms the letters c and k on the right. Thus the embroidery needle becomes an integral part of the company name.
The client liked this design but decided to go with a different concept from me that had a separate icon, making it more suitable for use on social networks. You can see the final approved logo here:

They use simple and efficient tools in order to produce nutrient rich vegetables while protecting the environment.
I made two connected leaves building the initial letter K of KRAUTGAART. By integrating the nature as an essential part of the initial letter K the logo conveys the passion of KRAUTGAART for healthy food and the care for the environment.")

The customer wanted a simple and playful logo that includes a house, but has a nerdy feeling. Instead of a real house I used a paper hat with a chimney that is worn by a light bulb with a smile. This emphasizes the aspect of learning and exploring. The attic/hat is placed a little off center to give the whole image a likeable and fun spirit.")

With over 20 years of experience in the field, they specialize in consulting and technical planning, with sustainability always at the core of their approach. Through their comprehensive knowledge of both the practical and theoretical steps of the entire process chain, they are able to develop sustainable solutions and efficiently accompany projects from conception to completion. HOLZPLAN relies on materials such as wood, natural insulation and clay to provide ecologically responsible and customized solutions for our customers.
The logo is based on two (wood) elements that overlap to creatively create the initial letter H for HolzPlan, which I am sure will be well received not only by the core target group from the fields of architecture, engineering, construction and related disciplines.")

Starting up with a stylized ocean symbolism and adding elements of a compass does unite the ocean exploration and the navigation/travel/adventure aspect of the business. The clean design reflects the high quality standards of Uncharted Blue.")

This means \"probiotic cleaning\" with good bacteria. The products are pure and effective, both efficient and good for people and the environment.
The client wanted a brand image similar to that of cosmetics and skincare products but with a hint of high-tech for a healthier home. My logo combines two elements to create a simple and memorable symbol. There is a hexagon as a scientific element, reminiscent of the schematic representation of molecules, but also found in nature, such as honeycombs. In the center of the hexagon is a drop, a visual element we associate with cosmetics and skincare, but which is also a metaphor for purity and nature.")

My design integrates a coffee cup and a coffee bean into a clean, versatile and eye-catching logo. The customer loved it at first glance – just like me.")
