I design logos that look expensive on clothes.
Today's work: NS Monogram
The problem: 2 letters look boring on a tee.
My fix: Interlocked serif + gold embroidery texture.
Result: Looks like a $300 brand.
Steal this formula for your brand:
Keep it to 2 letters max
Make it embroidery-ready
Test it on white AND black

Absolutely love this Fintech App design! The minimal soft 3D elements with the clean UI is such a premium combo — feels very Apple-like and trustworthy. The interaction "designed to reduce" cognitive load really shows in the execution. Super polished work, that "Effortless payments. Intelligent Finance." screen is my fav!
Wrapping up another brand identity project for a workforce management company.
We're currently putting together the full case study, but here's an early look at some of the visuals. Really pleased with how this one has come together!
We explored several distinct creative directions before arriving at the final identity. And there's plenty of interesting work that didn't make the cut.
While we prepare the full case study, I'm thinking of sharing some of those rejected directions and the thinking behind them.
Would you be interested in seeing what didn't make it?
