Taste Test
Option 1 for me. The green gives it more personality and feels more “tech/security” instantly, while the logo still stays super clean. Nice work, Muhammed 👏
Thanks man! Yeah, I felt the green gave it that extra tech/security vibe without making it too much. Glad you noticed it!
Amazing work
Thank you! Really appreciate it
The green themed one is great!
Thanks! The green definitely gives it a nice personality
Appreciate it! I’m leaning toward Option 1 too the green glow really makes ShadowPaw stand out.
Dark one got my vote
Yeah, the dark one has a different vibe Glad you’re feeling it!
Option 1 looks great🔥
Means a lot, Amina! Really appreciate it
Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing more.
Really appreciate the support!
Option 1
Voted Option 1. The mark and wordmark are identical, so this is really a color call, and green is the more ownable choice in a VPN category crowded with dark blues and blacks. The name already says "shadow," so you do not need a black background to reinforce it, the green adds contrast and recall instead.
Really appreciate the detailed take! The green gives it that extra personality and helps it stand apart in a sea of dark VPN brands. Glad you see it the same way!
That’s exactly what I was going for! The gradient gives it way more energy and makes the whole brand feel alive. Appreciate the vote!
AWESOME
Gradients are sooo underrated. Recently just discovered how to use them into brand guides and they make the design feel so much more powerful. I love the green gradient with shadowpaw. Great work!
I’m with you gradients can add so much depth and personality when they’re used right. Really glad you liked the green gradient on ShadowPaw!

A quick look at the Bright Logistics identity in motion.
The goal was to build more than a logo. We created a visual system that could move comfortably across social, apparel, digital touchpoints, photography, and everything the brand might need as it grows.
Simple enough to stay recognizable. Flexible enough to keep things interesting.
One of my favorite parts of branding is seeing all the individual pieces start to feel like one world.
Just smooth Animation..🔥
Contra just told me I'm in the top 1% of creatives on the platform.
Cool badge. Doesn't build anything on its own.
What actually moved the needle wasn't chasing the score — it was going back through old proposals and noticing I was writing to sound impressive instead of answering the actual technical problem in the brief. Once I started solving the thing nobody explicitly asked but clearly needed, everything got sharper. The ranking followed, not the other way around.
Currently building in Framer — SaaS, real estate, and brand sites with real interaction design. If your brief has a hard technical problem buried in it, that's usually where I do my best work.
Laocoön was the Trojan priest who saw through the horse when no one else did. That's the entire product story of a threat intelligence platform so I built the website design around it.
Every cybersecurity site is a black void with glowing padlocks. I wanted this one to be different and offer clarity.
Building a security or infrastructure product that shouldn't look like every other one? Let's talk.
The Laocoon story gives an abstract security product a memorable narrative. It is a smart way to make threat intelligence feel strategic rather than like another dark dashboard.
