The client wanted bold typography, a minimalist approach and symmetry as the main drivers for the design.
I created an elegant icon by literally elevating the inner circle!
The gold gradient gives it a luxurious feel. The icon speaks for itself and can be used independently.")

The client had a jellyfish in mind as the brand mascot and wanted a geometric approach to the design.
Since the slogan for the company is 'Remix the web', I chose the shuffle icon as inspiration. The stylized jellyfish has intertwining tentacles and a gradient translucent body which stands out on dark backgrounds.
The logo becomes a whole when paired with the good-ol' Helvetica.
This was an interesting project, and it could not have been done without the client's true commitment and a good design brief.")

In this design concept, I combined a silhouette of a horse with the brand initials (NW). A horse is a clear association for cars since it's their predecessor. Its muscles are a culmination of function and beauty. It stands proudly. This way the company can honor the heritage of travel and the animal that made it possible in the first place. Lineart is ideal for both light and dark backgrounds.
Since no elements of cars are included in this design - just the company initials, it remains timeless and leaves room for future expansion of the products and services.")

I incorporated a steaming coffee cup into the brand name, blending it tastefully with the typography - the result is a bold and stylish wordmark. Since the cup is in the middle, your eyes are naturally drawn to it. The tagline follows symmetry and expands from the centre in a smiling curve - reflecting the community.
On dark backgrounds, the gold accents get to shine and the coffee in the cup looks the richest!
The icon can be used independently to enhance the brand presence.")

With just a slight modification of the font, we can get a monkey incorporated into the logo.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/142/142328/attachment_142328720 "Since the book is focused on analyzing the manga I thought that we could show that aspect of it by using pen-like scribbles and annotations on the cover (as well as a few toxic particles from the manga itself). This way the reader has a clear idea of what the book will be about.
This screenshot from the movie encapsulates the Nausicaa world perfectly so I upscaled it to make sure it stays print-ready in a larger size.
I couldn’t resist combining the barcode on the back with The Mehve (a glider from the manga) - it looks like it’s flying! :)")

I choose the font to mimic the grapevines so it would all look consistent.")
