:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158786/attachment_158786013 "This logo was designed for Victory Center at East Texas A&M, a new athletic hub focused on student performance, leadership, and school spirit. The goal was to create a dynamic identity that captured the energy of collegiate sports while honoring the institution’s bold legacy.
The mark features a proud lion icon integrated with architectural elements from the campus — symbolizing strength, structure, and unity. A custom varsity-style typeface gives the wordmark authority and impact, while the layered shield layout ensures the logo stands strong on merchandise, signage, and digital platforms.
This identity was built to ignite pride — and look good doing it.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158789/attachment_158789592 "This brand identity was crafted for Iron Snout Coffee Roasters, a gritty, no-nonsense coffee label built for bold drinkers with high standards. The challenge was to create a logo that felt both rugged and premium — memorable on a shelf and iconic on packaging.
The mark centers around a custom pig head illustration that combines thick linework, negative space, and a modern rustic vibe. I paired this with distressed, slab-style typography to emphasize the handcrafted quality of the product. The logo system scales easily across print and digital applications, from bags and stickers to storefront signage and merchandise.
This design balances personality and professionalism — loud enough to be noticed, clean enough to last.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158662/attachment_158662206 "This brand identity was crafted for AGDA Distillery, an artisanal spirits company based in Australia. The client sought an elegant, heritage-inspired logo system that could stand proud on a premium bottle while reflecting the craftsmanship behind their small-batch production.
The design features a custom emblem combining ornate Victorian scrollwork with a bold serif type treatment, evoking tradition, quality, and timeless appeal. A ribbon banner and detailed flourishes add to the luxury feel, while the gold-foil-ready vector ensures it prints beautifully on dark bottles and packaging.
This logo was part of a full brand identity suite, including print-ready files, vector assets, and mockups for label application.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158642/attachment_158642630 "This logo was designed for The Crunch Mob, a high-energy food truck brand serving bold, crispy street eats. The client wanted a design that felt gritty yet polished — something that could turn heads on a wrap, sticker, or social post.
The final result combines layered script and block type with a hand-drawn mobster flair. I incorporated motion-inspired linework and street-art-style balance to convey crunch, flavor, and personality. The look is versatile enough for signage, merchandise, and packaging.
Typography, layout, and finishing touches were all custom-built to bring the brand’s voice to life.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158626/attachment_158626210 "This custom identity was created for a mobile BBQ and catering brand looking to stand out with a gritty, high-impact presence. The logo fuses rebellious energy with authenticity — built around the concept of “rising from the ashes” and cooking with intensity.
The circular badge format lends itself perfectly to signage, apparel, and food truck wraps, while the distressed textures and bold typography reinforce the heat and edge of the brand. From flame to fork, this design brings the fire visually and literally.")
