Most High end (not Nouveau rich) opt for the expensive look of traditional conceptual art.
Whenever I have worked with high-end clients I aimed to make their brands timeless, and iconic and priceless. Something you would remember seeing in a magazine or in a classy and upscale retail store. The detail is meant to reflect perfection and depth.
The design is hand-sketched and focuses on the light and dark aspects of sculpting. Capturing contrasts between light and shadow to create depth in the design. There are elements of watercolor just to offset the crisp lines that permeate the lion.
The Typeface is a classical take on a modern style and not meant to clash with the era of the icon but rather compliment the overall look by keeping it in the neoclassical era of Art.")

They have award winning projects under their belt and were looking for a more dignified representation of the industry as they see it.
The overall concept, is intended to represent classical British and Celtic royalty. They did not want to use the lion as their emblem. After researching the industry and looking for a concept that was both noble and regal I offered the solution of the Red Stag or the Royal white stag, in a watercolor and ink medium. The clients were enthralled with the concept. They recognized the dignity in the overall concept, recognizing the antlers represented the crown. The grayscale tones captured the contrast between light and dark in order to add dimension. Overall this was perhaps one of the most beautiful concepts I was able to paint and sketch.")

The pointillism is distinct as it evokes modernity and yet remains classic in its approach. Although this logo was not chosen as winner it is still available for purchase.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/92/92466/attachment_92466645 "The client reached out by invitation , which is awesome and we ended up going for a luxurious looking peacock. After a few iterations we discovered they loved the watercolo style and proceeded to create this very organic design and keep it in vector format.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/116/116095/attachment_116095515 "This revolutionary way of constructing 3D beverages through the technology of printing is an incredible concept. The company itself is already very well established with multiple high name brands under their belt.
They were looking to develop a retail brand that centered around water and Greek Mythology as a concept. The waves were meant to evoke a sense of simplicity and softness, while the emanations of the Trident from the ocean was meant to center the concept.
The typography was also something I wanted to leverage. I felt an opportunity presented itself in the word Poseidon. When flipping the E and using the D in the name an interesting concept emerged with the use of an appropriate Typeface. The word 3D emerges. To my surprise, I found out that the team had already considered using Poseidn. Great synchronicity occurred and this design was the result.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/111/111442/attachment_111442659 "This design had fantastic evolution. At first it was fleshed out in a very cartoony style until I had discovered the client was aiming for something with a bit more depth and meaning. Special emphasis was added in the area of negative space to simulate the Chimp coming out of the darkness. This was appropriate since the client was wanting something with depth to the design. The final product was designed by hand and was ultimately chosen as the winning entry.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/103/103074/attachment_103074132 "This was not the final iteration of the concept as the client wanted to tweak and enhance the design even further but the spirit of the design is essentially the same. This travel industry logo created has a clean and youthful look that would reflect freedom of travel in the Redknot bird. The logo mixes the simplicity of flight in clean lines as well as the thickness of the typeface to demonstrate solid foundations. The contrast is a staple in the logo industry but always demonstrates beauty.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/92/92443/attachment_92443116 "The client wanted to revamp a older version of their logo. The swan is the emblem that the client has been using. Clean lines and a minimal flare has been applied here. The logo uses touches of modernity and a classic typeface to ease the brand into a more contemporary design. Although this logo was not chosen as winner it is still available for purchase.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/158/158760/attachment_158760535 "This concept was intended as a vintage concept for a French Classical clothing manufacturing company. The design of on an old french Lyre was meant to evoke the whimsical and traditional aspects of the brand identity. The organic brush strokes and the overall simplicity was designed for something that would endure for many years.")

You’re the type of person who demands exclusive access in every other aspect of life. You deserve that for your spine as well. That’s where Concierge Spine comes in.
This design was intended to reflect the high-end aesthetic as well as invoke a sense of lightness with the waves in the form of the sun. The typeface and the mark were intended to demonstrate a fluidity in motion with a touch of class and minimalism.")

My once smooth, polished surfaces are now marred by countless fissures, spidering outwards from a wound at my core. Light catches on the jagged edges, a distorted mosaic of the vibrant spectrum I used to proudly refract.
Despite the damage, a whisper of my old magic lingers. Within each shard, a faint echo of the rainbow still dances, a testament to the beauty I once held. This shattered state is not just weakness, it is also a strange, new kind of strength. I have become a prism of brokenness, reflecting the world in a million shattered fragments, offering a unique perspective, a glimpse of reality through a prism of chaos and fragmentation.")

Glassmakers throughout the ages have long since been able to see this first-hand. This is Crystaline morphology.")
