At its heart stands a detailed engraving-style willow tree, symbolizing growth, resilience, and strong roots. The tree rises from a hand-drawn stone foundation, representing stability and the solid workmanship that defines the company’s services.
The bold serif wordmark “PROMISE” conveys professionalism and trust, while the refined tagline balances the composition with clarity and elegance. The warm earthy tones emphasize authenticity and align with the brand’s landscaping and hardscaping expertise.
Designed in a vintage engraving style, the logo seamlessly combines tradition with timeless charm, ensuring versatility across print, digital, and environmental applications.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/159/159821/attachment_159821295 "This logo unites ancient symbolism with an engraving-inspired style, honoring the aesthetics of old-world prints while carrying timeless meaning. At its center, the Caduceus represents healing and knowledge, while the open book beneath grounds the design in scripture and wisdom.
The three B’s Book, Body, and Beyond are subtly woven into the composition, creating layered meaning that is both intellectual and spiritual. Hidden details are placed to reward close observation: fine linework, subtle shading, and symbols that reveal themselves only upon study. Among them is a discreet owl between Pisces and Aquarius, a quiet nod to humanity’s transition from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius within the next 150 years. Symbolizing wisdom, the owl underscores knowledge as a guide through this cosmic shift.
The result is an emblem both striking at first glance and endlessly revealing upon closer inspection, saluting engraving tradition while carrying a vision for the future.")

This design is going to print on our bottle labels (formal bottle packaging design to come later). The whiskey is called \"Proud Cock\". We want the design to be detailed of the rooster and with ornate lettering. The label itself will be an off white, so the logo should be darker.
We want a bold, cool, and detailed design that's fun, but not cartoon-y.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/157/157291/attachment_157291511 "This logo captures the timeless harmony of travel, connection, and cultural elegance in a single visual mark. The central figure — a woman gracefully playing the harp — is mythological and symbolic, representing serenity, unity, and the joy of shared experience. Her flowing silhouette and the classic curves of the harp embody the brand’s tagline, “Harmonious Vacations,” translating the emotional value of travel into visual form.
Crafted in a vintage engraving style, the illustration balances intricate detail with modern clarity, giving the brand a sense of heritage without feeling dated. The refined serif typography complements the illustration, creating a cohesive identity that feels equally at home on a linen-bound travel journal or a modern website.
The Harp Travel Company logo is designed to resonate across generations, much like the journeys it represents — inviting families to reconnect, explore, and create lasting memories together.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/156/156834/attachment_156834123 "A visual prayer in ink and shadow.
Where iron meets thorn, and pain becomes purpose — this emblem speaks of sacrifice as direction.
Three nails, once driven in agony, now point to every corner of the earth.
A compass not of steel, but of spirit.
Encircled by the crown — not of kings, but of sorrow — this symbol reminds us that redemption is the axis upon which all journeys turn.
The cross is not only a place of death,
But the center of orientation,
The still point in a spinning world.
This piece is not just drawn — it is engraved in belief.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/96/96353/attachment_96353922 "Where rustic charm meets high-intensity grit.
Designed in a frenzied rush — 10 minutes before the competition deadline — this logo became my first competition win and proof that creative instinct can work wonders when met with the right brief.
The concept blends farm aesthetics with functional fitness by transforming a stylized barn door into a barbell to convey both place and power. The clean, minimalist forms provide versatility for T-shirts, fitness bottles and digital media, while the structure hints at a forward-looking brand system that can translate to day camps, weekend intensives and full-on retreat experiences.
The brief was clear: “Strong but warm, feminine but not girly, rustic but high-class.”
I just listened… and drew")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158828/attachment_158828856 "A bold, emblem-style logo designed for a property inspection brand that values trust, clarity, and strength. The design features a sturdy house perched atop a stylized rock formation a visual metaphor for security, stability, and solid foundations.
The circular badge format emphasizes professionalism and adaptability, while the limited color palette of deep blues and muted greens gives it a clean, timeless feel suitable for both print and digital use.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/157/157041/attachment_157041825 "Crafted for a local Alaskan brand rooted in the legendary salmon runs of Chitina, this logo tells the story of more than just a fish — it’s a tribute to place, people, and purity.
At its heart, a hand-drawn salmon leaps forward in copper tones, referencing both the prized fish and the region’s namesake — the Copper River. Behind it, the Chugach Mountains rise in etched strokes, grounding the brand in its rugged northern home. The teal lines evoke both the glacial rivers and the open wild — a sense of movement, flow, and freshness.
Executed in a modern engraving style with vintage flair, the identity blends heritage and energy, standing confidently on everything from product labels to carved wooden signage.
This is not just a logo.
It’s the story of a fish, a river, and the wild spirit of Alaska — all drawn by hand, one line at a time.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/157/157138/attachment_157138561 "🎀 Les Amis en Route
A delicate ode to fleeting friendships and feminine grace.
Drawn in a minimalist line-art style, this illustration captures the timeless elegance of a woman whose presence lingers like perfume in the air. Her beret, her scarf, and her softly closed eyes evoke the spirit of Parisian beauty — unspoken stories, untold thoughts, and the kind of poise that needs no explanation.
The handwritten script beneath reads:
“Les amis que nous avons rencontrés en route”
(The friends we met along the way) —
a gentle reflection on the chance encounters that shape our journeys more than the destinations themselves.
Subtle yet intentional, the only touch of color — red lips — becomes the heartbeat of the piece.
It’s not just an illustration.
It’s a moment. A memory. A memento.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/157/157153/attachment_157153240 "A story of roots, structure, and Southern heritage.
This logo was designed to represent Banks County with a seal that honors its origins, established in 1858. At the heart of the illustration stands a classic southern courthouse — structured, symmetrical, and dignified. But its foundation is anything but ordinary:
The courthouse grows directly from the thick, intertwining roots of a sprawling tree, symbolizing the deep connection between history and growth, governance and the land, legacy and life.
Executed entirely in hand-drawn linework, this piece blends organic forms with architectural stability — showing that strength is not only built upward, but grounded deeply.
Crafted in a vintage engraving style with a modern vector precision, it was built to live across time: from official papers to stone signs, from badges to banners.
A seal not just to mark a place — but to tell its story.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/157/157328/attachment_157328866 "This logo was designed for Pure Magic, a brand offering both premium chocolate and specialty coffee under the same visual identity. The challenge was to create a unified mark that could represent both product lines while remaining elegant, scalable, and conceptually smart.
The cup-shaped icon resembles a classic hot beverage mug, but its body mimics the grid of a chocolate bar — a visual fusion that speaks to both offerings. The rising steam adds a sense of warmth and indulgence, making it ideal for packaging, signage, and retail environments. With minimal elements, the logo communicates flavor, comfort, and modern simplicity — tailored for a cohesive dual-product brand.")
