The challenge was to create a brand that deviated from traditional healthcare aesthetics, while still exuding high-end professionalism and trust.
The final design features an abstract snake motif, symbolizing healing and wisdom, paired with a palette of earthy greens to evoke a sense of grounded sophistication. This approach moves away from the typical blues and whites often seen in the sector, aligning the brand with its target audience of CEOs and founders seeking a premium, high-value consultancy service.")

The clean, bold typeface gives it a modern, confident base, then the replaced parts break that rhythm just enough to make you look twice. It’s simple but playful, and it perfectly reflects the concept of offering a new, better option in place of the old, starting with alcohol replacement mints.
The design holds up on its own for the mints but is flexible enough to stretch into future products like gummies or seltzers without losing its personality. Strong, adaptable, and instantly tied to the brand’s name and mission.")

The brief called for a blend of two very different vibes. Revolution Group is a high-net-worth family office with a polished, professional brand. Lucky Bucket is a craft brewery and distillery known for its small-batch style and rustic-modern feel. The goal was to find a middle ground that felt premium but still had character.
I went with a slab serif typeface, an ornate layout inspired by vintage whisky bottles, and a deep, warm color palette with metallic gold accents. The result feels elevated and timeless, with just enough detail to nod to the handcrafted roots of the whisky itself. Designed to print with optional embossing and foil for extra texture and impact.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/149/149751/attachment_149751214 "For NupaVital, a fresh player in the EU nutrition market, I crafted a minimal yet distinctive logo to reflect their mission of promoting natural health. The design merges an abstract \"N\" with a leaf motif, symbolising growth, vitality, and a connection to nature. The clean lines and organic forms resonate with NupaVital’s commitment to natural ingredients and sustainability, while the sleek typeface adds a modern touch to the brand's identity.
The logo was designed to be versatile, appearing equally impactful in both monochrome and coloured applications, as seen in a dynamic palette of earthy tones and vibrant accent colours. This ensures consistency across different branding materials, from packaging to digital platforms. The result is a visual identity that captures the essence of NupaVital’s nutritional focus and forward-thinking values.")

My approach was to build something simple yet iconic, with the numbers forming into flag-like shapes. This not only ties directly to the visual language of the game but also introduces a sense of movement and legacy. The result is a clean, premium logo that feels as much about heritage as it does about performance.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/144/144501/attachment_144501523 "Future Innovation Group is the parent company of several software and tech investment firms, all focused on developing future-forward technologies with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. For this brand, I aimed to create a logo that feels modern, vibrant, and instantly recognisable. The result is an abstract 'F' mark that incorporates organic, environmentally inspired elements, reflecting the company’s core philosophies and values.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/139/139546/attachment_139546707 "Viamotive, a company specialising in buses and coaches, is making the important transition from fossil fuels to green energy. When designing their logo, I deliberately steered away from overused symbols like leaves or lightning bolts. Instead, I created a design that feels both unique and abstract, reflecting the company’s evolving journey. The movement within the 'V' embodies this transition, while a sharp spike at the end symbolizes the energy and forward momentum of their new direction.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/2521354/f03791ff-84cd-42e1-bd92-b9fbe826d081 "For DUNKR, a merch brand dedicated to the passion and culture of dunking, I crafted a powerful, fashion-forward wordmark that captures the energy of the sport. Whether you're an active dunker, a fan of the game, or simply love watching basketball, DUNKR's identity needed to speak to the heart of the community. The bold, clean typography brings a raw, dynamic feel to the brand, embodying the strength and excitement that dunking represents. This logo is built to resonate with athletes and fans alike, representing the spirit of the game both on and off the court.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/155/155406/attachment_155406748 "The goal for this logo was to create something that instantly stands out—a bold, futuristic identity that feels experimental and ahead of its time. The client wanted the brand to evoke the vibe of an advanced lab, pushing boundaries in innovation with a designer-drug aesthetic.
I went for a sleek, abstract shape with soft gradients to give it that cutting-edge, high-tech feel. The flowing form suggests motion and energy, symbolising progress and constant evolution. It’s minimal, striking, and memorable—designed to grab attention and leave a lasting impression in a crowded market.")

While they were generally happy with the original design, they felt it lacked a touch of professionalism. After evaluating the logo, I envisioned a retro, vintage-inspired update that would enhance its charm and give it a timeless feel. Using a simple, bold two-color palette, the redesign captures the café’s warm, inviting atmosphere while staying true to its classic diner roots. The result is a logo that feels both nostalgic and fresh, perfectly aligning with the café’s friendly, down-to-earth vibe.")

The direction balances softness and performance, avoiding overly masculine cues while maintaining a sense of strength and structure.
The logotype is deliberately minimal, allowing it to sit naturally across garments and product. A custom “A” mark was developed as a standalone identifier, designed to work at small scale across apparel while remaining distinctive and recognisable.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/138/138752/attachment_138752106 "For Birdie, a brand that specialises in high-quality press-on nails, I designed a vibrant, trendy wordmark that merges retro charm with a bold, modern flair. The playful typography is enhanced with soft curves and a bright colour palette, giving the brand a fun yet polished identity. With Birdie expanding into the e-commerce space, this logo perfectly embodies their vision—bringing effortless, stylish beauty to the fingertips of their customers. The retro-inspired design reflects Birdie’s confidence in standing out while staying connected to timeless style.")

"Stephen delivered an exceptional brand identity for AevumBio — a precision biological intelligence platform with demanding standards. The parallel-line A mark is distinctive, ownable, and works flawlessly at every size from app icon to large format. The typographic system shows genuine craft, and the brand guide went well beyond the standard contest deliverable. Throughout a detailed and iterative process, Stephen was professional, responsive, and consistently improved his work based on feedback. Highly recommended for any brand identity project requiring precision and premium execution."

"Almost from the moment when I saw his first design, I knew it would be the winning one. Ironically, several years ago I ran a logo design contest and his design was the winning one from that contest."
