Anthology Cannabis is a lifestyle brand that aims integrate and legitimize Cannabis as a medicine in our current cultural narrative.
The client is interested in sacred symbology, and sought a mark that \"awakens the infinite world we inhabit and the cycles of nature\" and \"strikes a deep subconscious cord.\"")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/88/88530/attachment_88530203 "The client used AMA as initials for many years and reversed this to AWA, which in turn suggested Awake as a business name. The client is code-oriented (a developer and architect mainly in java) and is establishing an IT consultancy in that field. The mark — abstract and stylised — purposely echoes W and M within the form of a bat, tying the logo to the personal journey of the client. The bat is awake when others sleep, so is an appropriate and distinctive icon for this business that emphasises forward looking IT strategies.")

The Argo was the ship on which Jason sailed in search of the golden fleece. Here a circle represents the world, and a flat line the littoral of the ocean, on which Jason set out. In the centre is a gentle apex, meant to echo an A, while remaining feminine overall.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94231/attachment_94231241 "The client — Jazz pianist and vocalist Neeki Bey — contacted me to work with him directly. Running with intuition, the mark I arrived to aims to convey the spirit and feeling of music. Harmony, sensibility, soul. Folds, peaks and lulls, the line art is matched carefully with a subtle mid-contrast typeface. The events Ikeen produces are centred around highly talented musicians, so I wanted to lean towards classic, but remain contemporary and approachable. The company is also branching out into events production in general. While the mark is intended to evoke the flow of music, it is oblique enough to serve its purpose relative to a wide range of events.")

The client was looking to take an existing logo/brand and overhaul it with a more modern and minimalist design.")

The client in this instance contacted me to purchase an unsold design created for a quite different project.
Occasionally it happens that a mark one creates consciously for one project actually fits another even better, and I love when such accidents happen.
A certain amount of dissonance enters, and can be creative in and of itself.
I'm delighted that this mark has found an exciting new home.")

The client wanted a meaningful but minimalist mark, and we honed in on this combined mark and workmark featuring a dimensional 3. Constructed from blocks - to echo blockchain - and doubling as an E to spell \"Wen\" in shortform (a nod to 'Wen moon?'), the branding is stark and precise.")

Audiophile's releases have amassed over 400 million plays across streaming platforms, and have been featured by some of the top radio stations and music publications in the world.
The client in this instance wanted to update an existing logo. They had a solid idea of what they needed, but we also explored other directions. I ventured into 3D modeling and advanced techniques in geometric triangulation, first developed by mathematician Boris Delaunay in 1934. What emerged were some interesting art pieces, but to translate this to a workable logomark took a significant degree of simplification.
We settled on this cubist-futuristic head, part organic, part machinic. We paired this with a clean, extended sans serif font, to add gravity and maturity.")

The Client sought a mark that could embody and identify this new AI, while also suggesting life. I arrived to this energetic mark, which includes an e, for enerji.")

He was seeking an abstract, modern and striking logomark. We worked closing to perfect this wordmark, including a standalone symbol.")
Acerca de
Senior Cairo-based designer, influenced by Rothko, VOMIR and Bill Viola. Great design is closer to sculpture than painting. I'm always trying to take something away — to reduce things down to their essence.
1-to-1 project invites only.
Here’s the truth: Contests are a terrible way to source design. Why? Designers don’t have time to invest when they work for free. You'll get 5% of their mental energy at best. ⭢ Read more
