The answer is BAKERUÉ, a service that brings bakers and customers together. There are two types of users: a) Bakeries that offer their specialties and b) Customers who use the search to find the perfect bakery for their sweet tooth nearby. The name is a combination of baker + rue (street in French).
Such a smart service needs a smart logo. My symbol shows a street sign pointing in two directions, which is not only a nice representation of the term street/rue but also symbolic of the two groups that Bakerué unites: on one side the bakers, and on the other the customers. The curved lines fit wonderfully with the theme of bakers, reminding not only of the rising steam of delicious food but also of their round shapes (cupcakes, for example). To make things perfect, the outer shape of the logo forms a chef's hat (baker's hat).")

Just as in music, the individual notes come together to create a song, or in painting, colors, and contrasts create a picture, three letters come together to be artfully blended into a unique monogram.")

This means \"probiotic cleaning\" with good bacteria. The products are pure and effective, both efficient and good for people and the environment.
The client wanted a brand image similar to that of cosmetics and skincare products but with a hint of high-tech for a healthier home. My logo combines two elements to create a simple and memorable symbol. There is a hexagon as a scientific element, reminiscent of the schematic representation of molecules, but also found in nature, such as honeycombs. In the center of the hexagon is a drop, a visual element we associate with cosmetics and skincare, but which is also a metaphor for purity and nature.")

With over 20 years of experience in the field, they specialize in consulting and technical planning, with sustainability always at the core of their approach. Through their comprehensive knowledge of both the practical and theoretical steps of the entire process chain, they are able to develop sustainable solutions and efficiently accompany projects from conception to completion. HOLZPLAN relies on materials such as wood, natural insulation and clay to provide ecologically responsible and customized solutions for our customers.
The logo is based on two (wood) elements that overlap to creatively create the initial letter H for HolzPlan, which I am sure will be well received not only by the core target group from the fields of architecture, engineering, construction and related disciplines.")

During the research phase of the project, it became clear that the client found two types of logos attractive: a memorable wordmark or a logo with a separate symbol. I created a logo that gave him both - and he loved the result as much as I did.
The iconic symbol combines two circular shapes that create the initial letter \"B\" with an abstract leaf in the center. The leaf works perfectly as a symbol for health and beauty. Through its elegance and beauty, the logo conveys a high degree of value and quality. Without any question, this logo stands for a premium product.
While the BIONIQUE B works perfectly as a symbol in its own right, it also integrates beautifully within the wordmarks \"BIONIQUE\" and \"BIONIQUE HEALTH\".")

With “Bohnenschatz” they introduce a new and trendy Coffee brand, which will be marketed all over the country.
“Bohnenschatz” is a wordplay that consists of the parts “Bohnen” (\"bean\") and \"Schatz\". \"Schatz\" has a double meaning: once it can be understood as \"treasure\", but it is also a popular nickname for a loved one, like “sweetheart”.
With the combination of beans and a heart the logo gives the consumer an emotional message: \"MY (new) FAVORITE COFFEE\". It also conveys the passion of the coffee roasting company: \"We love coffee\". Drawn with a continuous dynamic line, the logo expresses vitality and joie de vivre. The “O” of the typography, which reminds the shape of a bean, is slightly raised and combined with an underscore so that it looks as if it stands on a pedestal. A little extra hidden message...")

WiseWalker stands for well thought-out travel / outdoor products that set themselves apart from ordinary no-name products with special materials, smart/unique features, attractive packaging and beautiful designs.
Smartly combining a mountain motif with the initial letter W, this simple and strong logo fits perfectly with WiseWalker's claim to make the smartest and most beautiful products. I can't wait to get my hands on the first of them - with my logo on it. :-)")

This design proposal combines a dynamically curved thread with an embroidery needle, creating the initial letters \"U\" and \"S\" for \"Urbane Stickerei\". The needle in the centre of the action is itself part of the \"U\" and is surrounded by the \"S\".
The client liked this design, but decided to go with a different concept from me that had an even simpler and iconic symbol, making it even more suitable for use on social networks. You can see the final approved logo here:

But what about the equally sensitive lenses of VR glasses? The fun is over when the view of the virtual environment is impaired by scratches.
This is where the VR Lens Protector comes to the rescue. It protects the lenses with a curved film that is perfectly shaped for the convex lenses of VR glasses.
I wanted the logo to express protection. It shows a minimalist rhinoceros as a symbol of strong and lasting protection. What the rhino protects is definitely protected. The lower part of the rhinoceros forms the shape of a curved lens respectively a round lens protection film. In combination with the word mark, the arch protects the \"VR LENS\" lettering and thus conveys the idea of lens protection on a second level. In the horizontal version of the logo, the arc highlights the \"PRO\" (= Professional) combination of letters.")

Choosy brings joie de vivre, variety, and fun into the kitchen. And what better way to convey that visually than with this very special cooking pot that can hardly contain its gusto under its dancing cooking lid. The yummy mouth gives the Choosy pot a friendly and personal character. Perfect for the personal cooking companion in which - or rather: with which - every dish turns out delicious.")

What decisions and steps are necessary to run this business model successfully? At the RWE Academy, he shares this valuable knowledge with those who want to follow the same path.
The client favoured a cubic design in which the letters R W and E are clearly legible. One challenge was to make this stand out from others. The letters in this logo are connected to each other and to the border in an exciting way, creating interesting perspective effects in the interplay of the R and W, for example. This not only looks great but also gives the impression of an intelligent system in which the individual aspects interact and communicate with each other. That fits very well with the RWE Academy and its business model in which the right decisions and actions interact and build on each other.")

The dog is considered a full member of the family and at the same time is the hobby of the owner.
With its clear lines and the absence of surfaces, the logo looks fresh, open, and modern. The dog and the lettering \"fell&bell\" form an inseparable unit, matching the brand's deep bond with the beloved four-legged friend. An appealing logo that will look great printed, engraved, or embroidered on the products. Dog owners will love it. I feel the same way - and I don't even have a dog.")
