Left variation is more practical ❤️
great job Shivan🔥🔥
thanks alot for your feedback @Mostafa Moamen
Pardon Shivam❤️
Left one!
Thanks alot @Celia Sofia
The second image for me, the one with fewer, smaller photos around the hero. The bigger central frame lets the "Pace theory" wordmark breathe and the extra white space reads more premium. The busier version feels more like a moodboard than a brand. Nice work on the X in the wordmark.
This project is full of creativity and passion!
left one is looking more balanced
Shivam, the larger central photo gives the logo lovely breathing room!
Thanks alot @Thayline Vargas for your lovely feedback

Option 2 looks better
Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

The one I experienced was when a client gave me a project and provided a reference she wanted me to use as inspiration to build her website. I quoted her 10-14 days, but she said she needed it done in 5 days. I accepted it because I was desperate to get the project and I needed...
What type of combination is that?
Indian spirituality × Japanese minimalism × personality-driven clothing.
That’s Tenjiku.
But getting this combination right wasn’t as simple as putting three ideas together. We started with research digging into what Tenjiku means, where the name comes from, its cultural roots, and how those ideas could shape a visual identity without feeling forced or predictable.
From that research came the logo, typography, symbols, and the overall visual language.
Every element has a reason behind it.
The logo is only the final result. The interesting part is how we got there.
We’ve documented the whole thinking & design process on Behance.
Go check out the story behind Tenjiku
The research showing through the design is what makes this work. Love the Indian x Japanese balance - not easy to pull off but you nailed it.
