The mark pairs a simplified excavator arm icon with a heavy, modern sans wordmark to communicate strength, reliability and on-site know-how. I focused on clear visual hierarchy so the company name reads at a glance (even on vehicle sides and job-site signs), while the icon works independently as a stamp or favicon.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161880/attachment_161880327 "A warm, badge-style logo designed for a small animal clinic. The mark pairs a hand-rendered pet portrait with a supporting palm motif to communicate trust, gentle care, and professional expertise. I used a circular composition (arched headline + tagline) so the logo reads clearly at small sizes and scales nicely for signage, cards, and social avatars.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161790/attachment_161790830 "A bold, vintage-inspired badge mark for a heavy-civil contractor. The design pairs finely engraved illustration (excavator, roller and rugged peaks) with a ribbon wordmark and star accents to read strong at a distance while keeping detail for close-up applications. Built for signage, hard-hat decals and stamped prints, the mark includes clean one-color and reversed versions for maximum flexibility.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/160/160584/attachment_160584932 "A polished, double-sided referral gift card for Lifeway Dental of Boca that positions a $100 treatment credit as a premium, giftable offer. The front features a clean white layout with a tasteful gift motif, gold accent ribbon and a bold $100 credit tab for immediate visual impact. The back uses a dark navy background with gold accents, clear “How to Use” steps, contact details and fillable fields for Referred by / New Patient — designed to be handed out in-office, included in mailers or used as a thank-you for referring friends. The layout balances elegance with clarity so the promotion reads well at a glance and converts referrals into new patients.")

The concept blends hand-drawn character charm with clean, modern wordmark treatment so the mark reads friendly at small sizes while feeling trustworthy at larger scale.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/1394292/3ec40556-4bb8-40d5-912b-3141e38a97ad "Premium, warm trifold for a small-batch honey producer. Dark honeycomb header and gold accents create a luxe, rustic feel; rich product photography and jars anchor the masthead while the interior panels use cream paper textures and clear typographic hierarchy to explain varieties, provenance, tasting notes and ordering info. Includes contact/QR CTA and badge-style details — built to sell at markets, farm shops and tastings.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161158/attachment_161158813 "Designer-forward, double-sided rack card with a warm, tactile look. Left panel uses a sunlit, textured hero image with an embossed-style logo and punchy tagline (Taste • Discover • Share) to sell atmosphere; right panel is a clean content column with photo, icon-led highlights and a legible body block. Palette leans on rich golds and cream for a premium, Sonoma-inspired feel; serif headline + geometric sans body keep hierarchy clear. Includes QR code and contact block for immediate action — optimized for print and in-store handouts.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161621/attachment_161621495 "Bold, two-sided direct-mail postcard designed to drive calls and web visits. Front uses a high-contrast hero band of project photos, a strong headline banner and a red CTA stripe (FREE ESTIMATES + phone) for instant visibility; QR and Google 4.8 badge boost credibility. Reverse pairs a prominent logo with a clean two-column layout: short about block, icon checklist of services, address and another QR for fast action. Palette of black, maroon and gold + heavy display type keeps hierarchy clear and legible for door drops, mailers and yard signage.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/161/161144/attachment_161144461 "Vibrant event flyer promoting the Don’t Struggle in Silence 5K, a community run raising awareness, hope, and support for mental health. The design pairs an upbeat, friendly brain mascot with bold, high-contrast headline treatment and a clear register-now CTA (large QR code). Key info is shown at a glance: date (Sat Apr 11, 2026), venue (Benchtop Brewing Company, Norfolk, VA), route (Elizabeth River Trail), and registration link. The lower panel includes a short program blurb and sponsor logos. Clean visual hierarchy, legible type, and the scannable QR code make this flyer effective for print distribution, community noticeboards, social posts, and email promotion.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/1394292/8549c222-64aa-4832-8f27-8735a713c074 "Clean, high-contrast promotional flyer for a local plumbing service that emphasizes emergency response and first-time-customer savings. The two-column layout pairs a dark, photo-backed panel with a lighter content column—making the offer (20% OFF on first service) highly visible. Key features include a short value statement, a clear checklist of services (emergency repairs, leak detection & pipe fixing, drain cleaning & unclogging, water heater installation), contact details and a QR code for fast booking. The navy/teal + yellow color scheme creates a trustworthy, professional look while iconography and bold typography ensure the message reads well at a glance—perfect for door-drops, mailers, shop windows, and job-site handouts.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/1394292/2f37e8e4-304e-4953-9557-abd1c03c6511 "A refined brand lockup for Hair Studio Koppenberg featuring a delicate monoline profile icon of a woman’s hairstyle paired with a clean, modern sans-serif for the word “HAARSTUDIO” and a bold brush-script treatment for Koppenberg. The composition balances feminine, handcrafted energy (brush script + line-art) with professional clarity (uppercase sans, structured layout), making it ideal for window vinyl, signage, business cards, social media, and appointment cards. The mark works perfectly as a one-color vinyl cut or embossed print and scales well for small-format uses like favicons or labels while retaining a premium, approachable salon identity.")
:format(webp)/99designs-work-samples/work-sample-designs/1394292/eeb2cb06-600c-4e4a-9a7d-5bbb732478b6 "Six educational posters designed to communicate complex Lean management principles in a clear and visually structured way.
The project focuses on transforming abstract process concepts into easy-to-understand visual systems using consistent layouts, iconography, and a restrained color palette. Each poster is part of a cohesive series, ensuring strong visual consistency while allowing each topic to stand on its own. The result is a clean, modern poster set suitable for training environments, workshops, and internal communication.")
