Calling all 90’s kids for a taste of nostalgia in the following reading minutes.
There’s no doubt that fashion/ art/ visuals are such a green trend itself when tons of “former styles”, such as the fashion eras, the ’70s, or ’80s seem to rebirth somehow in the modern era. So, and because all eras come back somehow, it’s why today we’ll be living the comeback of 90’s visuals and a bit of 2000’s.
That’s why today, in terms of logos, we’ll see that although minimal logos such as Google, Airbnb, or Spotify are the tops of the last decade, logos are returning to some 90’s colorful vibe.
In the world of graphic design and branding, creatives face a special kind of challenge when it comes to bringing characters and mascots to life.
While logos and letterheads can be relatively simple, characters have to be drawn from scratch, as well as showcase a brand or product.
Today’s featured design contest was done for Hatchwise client Dishman, who needed a character designed for their warm and fuzzy bedding brand, called Shankapotomus.
Hell Bent Workshop is a blacksmith and leather craft artistry workshop. Previously, a friend of the client designed a logo that the client wanted to use as a starting point. This starting point was outlined in the creative brief, and it was the idea of a welding helmet with devil horns and a tail coming out of it.
The client also requested that one font be used for the words “Hell Bent” and another font be used for the word “Workshop,” as well as the colors red, gray, orange, and yellow. The client was open to seeing designs with other colors, except for pink.

In 2000, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger had an incredible idea: an online, free, collaborative encyclopedia accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.
This dream later became Wikipedia, an ambitious evolution of Nupedia, a then-recognized scholarly resource.
