:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/102/102289/attachment_102289819 "The company name has two sources:
1) The game of Rock Paper Scissors - but where Digital always wins
2) The progression of information, from cavemen writing on rock, to paper and now digital
The logo uses a \"Like\" icon as a new hand gesture representing digital marketing in the rock-paper-scissors game. It's also bolder compared to other gestures, symbolizing the superiority of the digital aspect in marketing.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94412/attachment_94412941 "The shape of the M-mark is inspired by the xylophone-style percussion instrument.
It consists of three simple blocks getting shorter towards one side - similar to the the keys on the instrument.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/97/97139/attachment_97139469 "The author used the book name to make a connection between porn addiction and an old story about hunting wolves by using a blood-tipped blade for a bait.
\"Basically they would leave a sharp object (like a knife) up in the ice, cover it in blood and leave it for a few days... A wolf would come, smell the blood, lick it (love it) and keep licking until it bleeds out.
A rather gruesome fable sure, but the idea is that sometimes we as people consume things that we think give us pleasure when in fact they can actually hurt us.\"
--
I came with this concept, where the blood stain on the tip of the blade is shaped as a naked woman having a \"good time\".
The main idea is that the (naked) girl represents the blood (bait) on the metaphorical porn knife for the men to \"lick to their death\"
I also chose a deep pink color rather than red color for the blood so it has a bit less aggressive tone and more passion/porn related feel.")

The logo has two base ideas conveying the message:
1. a subtle moon within the \"O\" shape to emphasize the night aspect
2. the letters of the \"grow\" word are progressively growing (like muscle)")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/102/102348/attachment_102348705 "For this book concept I used photoshoped milk bottle with the milk level below the zero point.
The empty milk bottle plays on one of the single moms biggest worry - being able to feed their child.
The below-zero milk level points to the financial problems, showing there is not enough to meet even the minimum requirements. Like a below-zero bank account.")

For this logo, I made an illustration of a fat smiling bamboo (a cross between bamboo and Buddha) with it's branches forming a meditative gesture.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/57/57905/attachment_57905049 "The logo combines elegant and organic nature of used typography with rough image and texture to emphasize its vintage aspect.
This way the idea of \"Linen & Rust\" (organic and rough) caries over to the logo itself.")

A simple logo based on the idea of the \"B\" letter shaped in a form of an abstract wallet.
It's simplicity allows the mark to be used in a wide spectrum of applications - including leather embossing.")

A custom-lettered title inside of a \"circle\" reminding of a coffee cup stain.")
