The design focuses on a refined A/L monogram with a subtle straight-razor inspired structure. The goal was to create a logo that feels elegant, masculine and premium, while avoiding generic barber symbols.
The black and gold presentation helps show the intended luxury direction of the logo. Mockups are used only for visual presentation and are not part of the final logo files.
Final deliverable: logo design.")

This project blends elegant typography with a fully illustrated emblem featuring a dragon, a quill, and a circular arcane frame, symbols representing knowledge, creation, and the power of storytelling.
The wordmark is built with polished, gem-like materials and subtle iridescent lighting, giving it a refined, premium feel.
The emblem combines hand-painted fantasy detail with futuristic patterns on the wings and scales, creating a unique crossover aesthetic that defines the guild’s world.
My focus throughout the project was clarity, balance, and atmosphere, ensuring the logo works beautifully both as a standalone mark and as a full illustrated crest.
Roles: Art direction, illustration, concept development, typography, rendering.
Tools: Photoshop, hand-painted digital textures, custom lighting workflows.")

The concept draws inspiration from ancient symbolism and handcrafted typography, merging myth and modernity to reflect ATRA's philosophy: \"Born of Myth. Built for Legend.\"

About
I have been drawing since childhood, and it has always been where I find calm. Over time I explored different creative paths, but logo design and game graphics became my true focus
I am a self-taught designer, learning mainly online due to limited financial opportunities. This shaped my unique perspective and style. I’ve been on 99designs for over 10 years and I’m grateful to help clients move forward and bring their visions to life
If you feel we might be a good fit, I’m open to new projects.

"Akira was an absolute pleasure to work with! We were very pleased by his level of professionalism and communication throughout the process, which established a strong level of trust and confidence that we were in good hands.
His clear communication and attention to detail, show that he listens and understands client expectations, is genuinely invested in his clients' success and commitment to customer satisfaction, delivering a top notch product.
Akira's creative instincts and artistic ability are simply remarkable. He took the vision and feedback we provided for our game logo design and completely brought it to life! Everything from initial ideation on our concept, to refining mock ups and putting the final touches on the end product was truly a great experience.
I highly recommend Akira, and look forward to building a longer term partnership together. We have already begun the next of several additional projects we have planned together.

"5 stars all the way! This was a huge project, and the artist was with me every step of the way. I completely changed the brief on him, and he didn't miss a beat, got right to work on the new look, and knocked it out of the park."

"Akira X3 is an amazing artist and very friendly and thoughtful to deal with. I have had a project incomplete for a very long time due to personal matters on my end and he’s given me the space to sort that and allow me to come back to complete the project when I was ready. This may have impacted his statistics for completion of projects, where he was actually prompt in providing art on his end and the delay was on my end. Will definitely work more with Akira again and again."
