Which logo feels stronger for a marketplace called GumCircles?
I'm building GumCircles, a marketplace where Gumroad creators can showcase their products and affiliates can discover products to promote.
Which logo would you trust more as a brand?
I'd love to hear why you chose V1 or V2. Your feedback will help shape the final identity. 🙌

How to Out-Strategy as a Designer AI in 2026 🎬
In this episode, we sat with @Brady Patterson who went from working with top sport brands like 49ers, USC, Fox Sports, Apple, and Hulu to building cult‑like brands and high‑converting websites for roofers, garage door companies, and blue‑collar businesses.
We also unpack why “unsexy” trades might be the best niche designers are sleeping on, and how to turn creativity into consistent, lead‑driven income.

Great episode, really enjoyed recording it.
Iconography
The small details carry more weight than people realize.
Icons, graphic devices, the shapes and motifs that show up in the margins- these are what make a brand system feel considered rather than assembled. We treat this layer with the same rigor as the logo.
A few icon and graphic device studies from a recent project.

Love the presentation… couldn’t read everything at a glance though so I had to zoom in but still nice piece of work here
🚀 Design Challenge — Which Concept Wins? 👀
I've been exploring two different directions for a premium dental clinic website, both designed from scratch with a focus on modern UI, clean UX, and strong visual storytelling.
🦷 Concept A
✨ Bold editorial layout
✨ Minimal luxury aesthetic
✨ Large typography
✨ Premium 3D visuals
✨ High contrast & cinematic feel
VS.
🦷 Concept B
🌿 Bright and elegant
✨ Spacious composition
✨ Softer premium look
✨ Modern cards & subtle glass effects
✨ Clean, approachable experience
Both concepts are aimed at creating trust while feeling distinctive—not like another generic medical website.
👇 Which one would you choose and why?
A or B?
Your feedback will help shape the final direction. 💜

Concept A's dark cinematic mode feels premium but might read as a little intimidating for a dental site, patients usually want reassurance over drama. Was this tested with actual patient personas or is it more of a portfolio exploration?
