The logo can be used as talking bubble on chats.")

Instead of making a “non profit-y” cliche logo —fork and knife with a heart—, I focused on the relation among three people: donors, restaurants, and people in need.
The logo works as “connection lines” on applications.")

Ghost cat is a nickname of snow leopard thus the logo has a silhouette of its face. However, their services are not limited for leopard but for any animals. So I made it much subtle than “too leopard-like”, and can be used as capture frames on applications.
Unfortunately, the contest was NOT blind and there was a “copycat” ( what being a ghost cat). I challenged but...")

Inspired by two red bulls with blue horns in its coat of arms, I created a simple but versatile word mark.
Two blue “U”s suggests also shoe strings so it could be also a strong brand identity.")

The client needed a strong identity which stands alone even without its name.
Combining almost all the elements they want to archive —safety, GSP tracking service, social media friendly —, I created a cute face working with/alone the logo type.")

I tweaked two “o”s and made it to suggest “two cups of ice cream” or “two ball of ice cream”.
The two dots work on applications.")

I made a simple but bold wordmark. Underlined “your” suggests subtly “our”, which says “your change makes our movements”.")

I created an icon of a leaf of monstera with two hands — giving and getting—.")

At the beginning, the clients wanted a illustrated logo of their founding father, Andrew Taylor Still, but I symbolized him by \"O\" and \"Y\" to make it much modern and memorable.")

The client had already a logo — a palette— so I used this brand heritage and evolved it to show the “tutor” side more.
Unfortunately, this proposal was not chosen but still I like it.

I developed a simple icon of a pirate ship with its initial letters. Its sail indicates also a leaf.")
