By combining sport, technology, and architecture, Swing Shed brings professional-level golf into a private, everyday environment.
The logo is built around a custom symbol that integrates two golf clubs into a bold, hexagonal form, subtly shaping an “S” for Swing Shed. The geometry references the technical precision of golf simulation and the shed structure, resulting in a clean, modern mark that is iconic, versatile, and strong enough to stand alone across digital, physical, and environmental applications.")

This helps companies find the right person for the job without having to hire externally while helping employees find their version of meaningful work where they get engaged and ultimately stay. So it's a win-win!
FIGR is an acronym for Find (opportunities), Inspire (employees), Growth (in the business), and Retain (talents in the company). The customer told me that they liked to be seen as a smart, clever, and witty brand.
My logo combines the letter F with a smiling face. Why not the letter G? Because the client wanted to emphasize the acronym FIGR. The smile is part of the lower arc of the F, and the upper line almost gives the face: a little witty, yet professional and trustworthy in its modern design language. It looks like someone who knows a smarter solution - just like GoFIGR does.")

Rather than tracking users ReadLabs uses advanced contextual targeting. Put simply, this means that ads are targeted to the content of the site, not the people who visit it. ReadLabs uses sophisticated AI and algorithms to understand not just the keywords, but also the sentiment (article is positive) and a more nuanced sense of the actual meaning of the text, and uses this information to decide whether an ad should be displayed in that environment.
My logo comes with an innovative yet simple symbol. The two circles represent the audiences analyzed by a data platform (black box, represented by the square). The colored circle symbolizes the target audience. A second look at the symbol reveals both the letter \"r\" for \"read\" and the letter \"l\" for \"labs\". The symbol is complemented by a matching, attractive word mark.")

They value simplicity, candor, long term relationships and are not short-term traders out to make a quick buck.
My logo features two curves that start flat and then grow upwards. The resulting double wave, with its reference to the letter S, not only becomes a visual counterpart of the name SECOND WAVE, but also embodies growth and progress. My aim was to show realistic and not exaggerated growth to convey the philosophy of SECOND WAVE CAPITAL's long-term strategies.")

Choosy brings joie de vivre, variety, and fun into the kitchen. And what better way to convey that visually than with this very special cooking pot that can hardly contain its gusto under its dancing cooking lid. The yummy mouth gives the Choosy pot a friendly and personal character. Perfect for the personal cooking companion in which - or rather: with which - every dish turns out delicious.")

This design proposal combines a dynamically curved thread with an embroidery needle, creating the initial letters \"U\" and \"S\" for \"Urbane Stickerei\". The needle in the centre of the action is itself part of the \"U\" and is surrounded by the \"S\".
The client liked this design, but decided to go with a different concept from me that had an even simpler and iconic symbol, making it even more suitable for use on social networks. You can see the final approved logo here:

With “Bohnenschatz” they introduce a new and trendy Coffee brand, which will be marketed all over the country.
“Bohnenschatz” is a wordplay that consists of the parts “Bohnen” (\"bean\") and \"Schatz\". \"Schatz\" has a double meaning: once it can be understood as \"treasure\", but it is also a popular nickname for a loved one, like “sweetheart”.
With the combination of beans and a heart the logo gives the consumer an emotional message: \"MY (new) FAVORITE COFFEE\". It also conveys the passion of the coffee roasting company: \"We love coffee\". Drawn with a continuous dynamic line, the logo expresses vitality and joie de vivre. The “O” of the typography, which reminds the shape of a bean, is slightly raised and combined with an underscore so that it looks as if it stands on a pedestal. A little extra hidden message...")

This first design is for the parent company, The Not Boring Company, or abbreviated NoBoCo. This was followed by logos for the first subsidiary NoBoGames and their first product. I will add these to the folio later as well. :-)
As NoBoCo is an umbrella company, the logo should not be limited to any specific field of activity. The logo is based on multiple circles as a representation of different areas of activity (different subsidiaries). These elements are interwoven to form the letters N, B, C, and O for NoBoCo. The curved and interacting elements speak for interaction, dynamics, and communication.")

Just as in music, the individual notes come together to create a song, or in painting, colors, and contrasts create a picture, three letters come together to be artfully blended into a unique monogram.")

His friendly, supportive approach helps clients show the best version of themselves, while his fine art photography bridges corporate and artistic worlds.
The logo presents Max Marshall Studio as a refined, confident, and contemporary brand. Inspired by a photo frame, it nods to Max’s portrait and fine art work, with a subtle “M” integrated within.
The design combines precision and creativity, conveying clarity, professionalism, and a high-end aesthetic. Like Max’s process of listening before the shoot, the mark creates space for personality and emotion to unfold.")

During the research phase of the project, it became clear that the client found two types of logos attractive: a memorable wordmark or a logo with a separate symbol. I created a logo that gave him both - and he loved the result as much as I did.
The iconic symbol combines two circular shapes that create the initial letter \"B\" with an abstract leaf in the center. The leaf works perfectly as a symbol for health and beauty. Through its elegance and beauty, the logo conveys a high degree of value and quality. Without any question, this logo stands for a premium product.
While the BIONIQUE B works perfectly as a symbol in its own right, it also integrates beautifully within the wordmarks \"BIONIQUE\" and \"BIONIQUE HEALTH\".")
