Sometimes you need a bit more you-time 🫧 When you run your own business, self-care is usually the first thing to go. Late nights blur into early mornings, public holidays become "catch-up days", and weekends are often spent planning for the week ahead. So here's your reminder (and mine) to log off, go run a bath and take a well-deserved break.

This is the most peaceful illustration I've seen today — the rubber duck absolutely makes it! And the message hits different as a freelancer. The blue + teal + pink color combo is so joyful. Logging off, going for a bath 🛀

Using an organic botanical element for an AI brand is such a bold and unexpected move. The warm golden tones against that neutral background feel premium. Really stands out from the typical tech logo aesthetic.

Unused work doesn't mean it's wrong... This was a brand identity concept we at Jords+Co Studio did for Primora where we pushed the boundaries a little. How far could we take institutional credibility before it lost the energy and vibrance of blockchain and crypto (and vice versa)? The concepts that don't get chosen are often the reason the final direction lands so precisely. They test the edges and reveal where the line is. It doesn't mean the work is wrong. It's built on the same insight, the same foundation, the same strategic positioning. Just emphasising certain attributes over others. I loved this direction. Thankfully I loved the chosen one too.
