That logo has a lot of personality for something built around underground surf culture, it doesn't try too hard to look polished. Was that scrappy hand drawn feel intentional from the start, or did it evolve away from a cleaner version?
Surf culture branding lives or dies on whether the logo still works printed small on a zine cover, curious if that drove any of the mark decisions here.
Been part of this community for a few years now, sharing my work, joining challenges, meeting some great people, and even picking up a few wins along the way.
I've genuinely enjoyed being part of Contra and seeing how much the platform has grown.
This one means a lot. Big thanks to the Contra team for the recognition!
Congrats Alec, a few years of showing up is the part most people skip. Out of the challenges you joined, which one actually brought a paying client afterwards?
