Designer of iconic logos since 2007. I make your brand look good and credible.

  1. Dovetale – New Logo Dovetale – New Logo — I worked together with Dovetale on a new logo to replace their previous mark. Dovetail helps companies manage their relationships with social media creators. They needed something strong and simple that would work on small sizes and without the word mark. After three rounds of sketches, during which explored 130 different concepts (birds, wings, feathers, letters, etc), we landed on this geome...
  2. Clever Cloud – New Logo Clever Cloud – New Logo — In early 2019 I worked with Clever Cloud to create a new logo. Clever Cloud helps developers and companies (such as Airbus) quickly deploy apps & databases, and effortlessly push code. Their previous mark was hard to use, and didn’t reflect their values properly. During the sketching phase we decided that we wanted to steer away from cloud-related symbols, as there are plenty out there alr...
  3. Unused Planet Concept Unused Planet Concept — Unused logo for Olaris, where a planet is tucked in to the negative space of the 'O'. We didn't go for this version becaus it lacked a link with video.
  4. Unused Bird 2 – Improved Unused Bird 2 – Improved — Though this logo is an unused concept, I'll never pass on the opportunity to improve it. Tweaks: – Displayed the logo on a dark background, this makes the shadows more realistic. (Thanks @Adolfo Teixeira!) – Improved the neck area so the bird doesn't look sad. (Thanks @Maarten Corpel) – Moved the eye a bit, made the feather at the top a bit more cheeky, and tweaked the brand and legs a tiny ...
  5. DataQ Logo DataQ Logo — Logo design for DataQ: Customer growth and retention made easy through smart targeting. The mark consists both of the letter 'D' and an opened box, representing the access to growth & new clients. Like it? Hit that ❤️button yo.
  6. Gray Wolf Games In Real Life Gray Wolf Games In Real Life — In 2017 I worked with Gray Wolf Games on their new logo. Recently they sent me a copy of their successfully kickstarted boardgame Wu Wei. It's one of my favourite logo designs and I'm amazed how awesome it looks in real life. 😍 They did a great job on the packaging and game design. Make sure to check out the full-size attachments. Let me know what you think
  7. Olaris Olaris — Logo design for Olaris, an open-source, community driven, media manager and transcoding server. To be honest, I love working on space-themed logos. 🚀👩🏾‍🚀
  8. Unused Bird #2 Unused Bird #2 — Another little fella who didn't make the cut. I do like what's going on here though. Slightly different from my usual style. Perhaps it may find a new home in the future.
  9. Unused Bird #1 Unused Bird #1 — Unused logo direction from a few months ago. We pursued something else because the line-style made it too stylish and not bold enough. Still a big fan of the result. 😊
  10. Unused Logo Unused Logo — One of the scraps from a recent project. I've been super busy but I don't have the awesome Dribbble posts to show for it (yet). Anyway, hope you are all well. 😘
  11. Combell Logo Combell Logo — Last year I worked on new version of their Combell logo, which you can now view on their brand new website. Art Direction: Michiel Van de Veire Wordmark: @Paul von Excite Symbol: @Jord Riekwel
  12. Strong.app Icons Strong.app Icons — In 2017 I worked with Strong.app to create some alternative app icons. They were using a barbell symbol and wanted something more unique. I created these symbols that represent the "S" and energy bolt. After extensive A/B testing they found that the original icon actually performed best. Now, I still love these symbols, but in the end, downloads are more important than pretty pixels. 😁
  13. Luna Display - Product Luna Display - Product — It is quite something to see a design come to life on a physical item. Nothing digital quite compares. 😍 Luna Display is a hardware solution that turns your iPad into a wireless second display for your Mac. Make sure to read the background story in the previous post, and take a peek at the two attachments.
  14. Lion Logo - V2 Lion Logo - V2 — An improved version, based on feedback from the client, and everyone on Dribbble (especially @Mickey van den Nouweland). I made the mane bulkier, improved the shoulder area, and worked on a host of other tiny tweaks. Now working on getting the colors and typography juuuust right. :)
  15. Lion Logo – Alternative Version Lion Logo – Alternative Version — An earlier variation of the lion logo I'm working on. I quite liked this unique take on the frontal view.
  16. G Flame – Unused Concept G Flame – Unused Concept — Little mark I made last year that went unused. I combined a flame with an abstract "G". Ping me if you are interested in purchasing this mark. 😎
  17. Studio Pixl – Logo Studio Pixl – Logo — Recent logo design for @Ruben Vaalt's @studiopixl, a Dutch design studio.
  18. SimpliField Logo Redesign SimpliField Logo Redesign — Last year I worked with SimpliField on a simplified (hehe) version of their previous design. SimpliField helps retailers improve their performance via customer experiences.
  19. Plentific Logo Plentific Logo — Last year I worked with Plentific to create a new strong and simple symbol the replace the previous one. It was a fun challenge and I really like the fun and clean solution we came up with. Let me know what you think about the symbol!
  20. First Code Academy - Final Logo First Code Academy - Final Logo — Chose logo direction for First Code Academy. Because this logo is created from mostly horizontal & vertical geometric shapes, I stuck to a grid. This ensures the logo is pixel perfect at every multiple of 36 pixels. Make sure to view the large version, the different variations, and the initial sketches. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
  21. Angel CrossFit Angel CrossFit — An unused concept I made for a Dutch CrossFit gym. It's a bit different from my usual style but it sure was a lot of fun to work on. In the end, they decided to go with a less detailed mark. (I used this rad logo mockup pack to spice up this image...) Ps. This logo is totally for sale.
  22. Whale Reports Logo Whale Reports Logo — Quick little logo redesign proposal I did for @Josh Petty's Whale Reports, a monthly issued report with cryptocurrency markets news, data, analysis, and interviews. You can view the final one in the attachment. We dropped the blue gradient and speech bubble to keep the logo closer to the original logo.
  23. Slock.it Logo Slock.it Logo — At the end of 2017 I again collaborated with my friend @Cassius Kiani by refining his logo design for Slock.it. Slock.it leverages blockchain technology which enables people to share their underused assets such as apartments, office space, and even machinery in return for crypto currency. Their technology allows you to pay with an app, upon which a smart lock is opened. This new logo will be ...
  24. Z Mark Z Mark — Little mark I worked on with my talented mate @Cassius Kiani a few months back. Quite a simple logo but I like the gradients and how it tricks your eyes by giving you two different ways of seeing it. Do you see it from the top down, or from the bottom up?
