For my #EnvatoChallenge submission, I made a logo reveal video and decided to show the actual process instead of just the final result.
I started by generating a few versions with AI: fast, polished, technically correct. But none of them felt like mine. They were missing something I couldn't quite prompt for.
So I went back into Envato itself, this time not looking for a finished output, but for references sample footage, assets, textures things to build from rather than things to copy. From there, I put together something fully handmade, frame by frame, even though it doesn't look that way.
I think the real "human by design" decision wasn't the final edit. It was choosing to stop generating and start building recognizing when the AI output was technically fine but creatively empty, and doing the slower thing instead.

B took the lead for me
I have posted a Kargen direction a while back that didn't make the cut with a client, but the feedback was great, so I kept pushing it.
This is where it landed. the concept speaks for itself once you see it move. the K carries the momentum and quietly turns into a road at the same time. the motion runs A to B, so you feel the movement, which is really what Kargen is about.
There is a lot more to the identity than just this. the whole thing is meant to feel impactful, calm and professional.
Love the logo and the branding also
For me personally, an intro/loading screen is a must for every website I make.
Same with a subtle blur when opening a modal. Just blur, no dark overlay. It makes the site feel more premium imo.
Wdyt? What's your favorite detail on your own sites?
Top-notch design.
