Taste Test
š¦Two LED sign mockups for a geometric lion shield logo, same dark gaming room, same backlit wall mount, same angular lion mark. Two different color treatments that completely change the energy.
Which one's going behind your chair? š

Warm fade for me. š¦ The amber tones feel bolder and more premium.
Thanks Farook!
Neon gradient reads more like a statement piece behind a gaming setup, warm fade feels more livable day to day. Genuinely torn. Did the client already have a vibe in mind, or are they letting the room decide?
Warm fade, for a contrarian reason: most gaming rooms are already swimming in purple-blue RGB, so the neon version melts into the ambient light around it. The amber reads as its own object in that space, and it flatters the gold in the lion's geometry instead of fighting it.

warm fade has a stronger identity, imo!

warm fade for me
Fade does it for me, it's cleaner and more premium!! š„
Awesome!
which one did the client pick?
Neon Gradient for me. That purple glow against the dark room hits different, especially for a gaming setup.

Two skincare brands. Two completely different design directions.
Which one would make you stop scrolling? š

Bold typography, immersive product imagery, unconventional layout, and a fashion-forward visual language designed to make the brand feel premium and distinctive.
B - Minimal Skincare
Clean hierarchy, generous whitespace, strong messaging, and conversion-focused sections designed around trust, clarity, and action.
Iād love to know which direction youād choose for a modern beauty brand.

Bold option is really strong and better to me because the title is clear, clear image and direction for the userās eye. But the other option seems very busy and my eyes canāt handle it
Late last year I jumped onto a project to help with the branding for Dawn, a company building a product around 24/7 therapy.
One of the concepts I explored was inspired by sunrise, using light and movement to create a sense of calm and clarity.
The logotype would react to the time of day, slowly fading as night drew in.
We ended up keeping a version of the logotype, but I still think this concept could have worked beautifully on the website, changing and reacting as you scrolled.
Even the D logomark followed the same idea, breaking down into segments inspired by a rising sun.
Always fun looking back at the ideas that never quite made it.

That concept of the D logomark breaking down into rising sun segments is brilliant. It would have looked incredible reacting to the scroll, especially for a brand centered around clarity
Same layout but two completely different feelingsšāāļø
This is a vault app. The design has one job: make it feel safe to open.
š§® The red one is alert.
š The dark one is calm.
Which one would you trust with your collection?

Red usually reads as 'something's wrong' rather than 'high value,' so my gut says the dark concept builds more trust when there's real money on screen. Have you tested this with actual users yet, or is this poll your first read on it?
