    We want to make sure the Contour is not just another hanger. Your dry cleaner is giving you wire hangers for free, so we’re making sure that Contour is different, with a level of elegance that evokes emotion. Here’s what’s inspiring us, and what should inspire you for the logo design project:

    The Swarm Screen shows great play between its different parts. Even though everything is at 90 degrees, the screen creates a lot of movement in the space it takes up.

    We love that the Autoban chair has a playful nature because of its width and curves. Even though all of those elements are constant, the chair has some very elegant profiles.

    The A-Stool is a great example of a super simple and clean, yet highly effective, design. Its pure geometries mixed with the tapering of its profile creates a really interesting form that is visually very light.

    To start your week off right, Quirky is showering you with logo inspiration for ShowerStation. Check these out and then show us whatcha got!

    Some of the focal points driving the design process have been maximizing modularity by maximizing function and minimizing part types. We see this product as a puzzle that we provide the pieces for but the consumer creates their own solution.

    1. On the aesthetic front we love the clean geometry and playful color/material pops of the Grohe Rainshower Shower head.

    2. The AKG Headphones do a great job at using the lines of the wireforms to make your eye see a volume that isnt there.

    3. The Plumen lightbulbs are a playful and artistic take on new technology.

    And now, a lil’ Bonfi logo design inspiration from the QDS to close out your Monday. Sit back, relax, and enjoy… then get to work!


    1. Skygarden – Simple form with hidden details. An element of surprise. Intricate, yet subtle surface treatment.

    2. Water – Simple, organic geometry. Playful and intriguing form. Balanced proportions.

    3. Nissan Cube – Refined surfaces and shapes based off of basic geometry. Cute, yet purposful and strong.

    4. Farallon – Hidden functionality makes elegant more useful. Thoughtful balance between comfort and utility.

    Let’s come up with a fun and simple logo for the Boil Buoy!

    Below are images showing the general clean and simple direction the design has taken on.

    Beyond that the word ‘Buoy’ conjures up all manner of seafaring imagery. Just keep it really strong and simple. Think about strong, impactful silhouettes, and remember that the name itself can sit alongside a logo icon, as opposed to being part of the logo design (like the Waffler logo). Have fun!

    Logo time and that means another round of images to help inspire. UnHampered should make laundry easier and fun. So when designing the logo – let’s think about that. The images below each communicate visually. Try not to be concerned about what the object is, but rather what it is communicating abstractly.

    The first is classified as negative space. How can the removal of material (or in the sense of logos, space between lettering or type itself) become functional, cost effective, and at best poetic?

    The 2nd is about color. In this image there are two colors but the design is still energizing and very interesting. In your design, think about the dominant color choice and what is supporting it and how it can sit as a whole?

    And the 3rd represents structure. How can scale, proportion, and organization express content?

    It’s time again for a lil’ inspiration, this time for the logo design project for Trek Support.

    This project is all about integrating electronics into something wearable. The images shown focus on mixing hard and soft material, displaying technology in an exciting way, and color pops that bring your attention to the right details.


    Good luck!

    Design team here. For Twice, we’re looking at designing a product with a somewhat high-end aesthetic, with dual chambers (hence the name). Like with most of our other products, we’re aiming to create a design driven by geometric forms. A couple things to keep in mind while submitting and voting on logo designs this weekend.

    See ya Monday!

    To spice things up a bit, we wanted to give the Waffler logo project a boost.

    Below are three images that abstractly reference our current in-progress Waffler design. These images have certain qualities/details that reflect our design sensibilities for this project.

    When designing your amazing logo(s) for the Waffler take a look at these images and bear in mind the design language you are seeing here. Please DO NOT copy these images into your logo design in any way, shape or form. But instead, think of your logos as reflecting this level of sophisticated consumer product design.

    Here’s what we’re hoping this’ll accomplish:

    - Give the community a better understanding of how the final product will look, so that they can have a better basis for designing their logo submissions.

    - Give the community one last project before the product launches to reignite the momentum.

    - Most importantly, result in better logos.

    We’re going to see how this goes — let us know what you think!
