Hi everyone, I'm an illustrator specializing in character-driven brand design and mascot logos (think streetwear avatars, retro cafe mascots, gaming logos, and cartoon brand ambassadors). I’m looking to expand my portfolio with real-world projects and am offering free custom mascot logo designs for 3 people!

What I need from you:

• Project Details: A brief summary of your business, startup, channel, or side project.
• Character Concept: What kind of mascot do you envision? (e.g., street style character, retro cartoon animal, coffee cup character, etc.).
• Style & Colors: Any preferred color palettes or visual reference styles you like.

What you’ll get:

• A clean vector mascot mark (head illustration or primary character pose logo).
• High-resolution files ready for web and print use.

Requirements:

• Patience: Quality character illustration takes time, so please give me a little breathing room to get it right!
• Portfolio Rights: All I ask in return is permission to showcase the finished design in my portfolio and social channels.

If you're interested, feel free to comment below with your project details or shoot me a DM with your ideas! Cheers!

Would you like to include a link to an existing portfolio/Instagram in the post so potential clients can see your current drawing style?

Hey everyone i'm 17 and getting ready to launch a new gaming channel soon so I really want to get the branding sorted out first I’m looking for a real artist to collaborate with I absolutely detest AI slop and want to work with a real human who actually cares about design Since I’m still a student and don’t have a job yet my budget is pretty much zero But I’m more than happy to put your links at the very top of my channel description and video descriptions permanently and you can obviously use everything for your portfolio The channel is going to focus on no commentary walkthroughs with a minimal HUD. Because I won't be talking I want a profile picture that has a ton of character but I absolutely do not want a cliche looking design you see so many times on google A lot of no-commentary channels have really boring plain logos and I want something with actual personality and a cool vibe I don't have the exact character design figured out yet so I'd love to brainstorm with an artist who can help me come up with something unique that fits a focused immersive gaming style Besides the profile icon, I’d also love a matching channel banner and a basic thumbnail template I can use to keep my videos looking consistent Still deciding on the final name I want something clean and simple so if you have any cool naming ideas I’d love to hear them 😄

Thanks so much for your time!

I'm the founder of Triste Figura, a Spanish menswear clothing brand (open to expanding into unisex) launching in the coming months. The brand name is already registered with the Spanish trademark office and the domain is live. I'm currently working on the go-to-market plan and need to lock down the visual identity before moving forward with production and company registration.

What I need:

- A final logo, designed to work well embroidered on garments (must hold up at small size, ideally works in a single color)

- A basic brand identity: color palette, typography, and a short guide for how the logo applies across labels, packaging, website, and social media

- Final files delivered in vector format (AI/EPS/SVG) plus PNG/JPG exports

The brand concept is built around a well-known literary figure from Spanish culture (Don Quixote, specifically "the Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance") as a contrast to the aspirational British/American polo-and-yachting aesthetic of brands like Ralph Lauren or Lacoste. Tone is editorial, black-and-white leaning, no tourist cliches.

Budget: 250-600 EUR depending on scope and experience level, open to discussing a split payment (partial upfront, remainder on delivery). This is an early-stage bootstrapped project, so I'm not able to offer a large budget, but the work is real and moving forward regardless of who I hire.

If interested, please DM me with your portfolio and your rate for this scope.

Hello amazing people!

I'm currently in the process of making an archival website of my interests (bands, movies, tv, alike) which also will include archival content, rare media, articles and also for my personal projects called 'Digikers', its a passion project and it will be free to access my site.

It currently doesn't have a logo and I would love if someone could please design one for me!

Design Ideas:

• Drawn friendly rounded font with pastel yellow or vibrant yellow text with black rounded outline, text says "Digikers" with italic/slight lean-to-the-right framing (alike to blitz mints).
• Drawn light-blue or white font with heavy, geometric, 'bold' styling with sharp small details, forward-slanted text, thin-to-thick dark blue border with slight shadow.
• Or a choice of your own on what you believe would suit best, based on what is in this post.

Note: I want to state that by sending me the logo artwork you agree officially that I can use this logo for all purposes (including but not limited to: Site graphics, social media platforms, branding, merch & communications with 100% copyright, sale and ownership rights.)

By sending the logo artwork you also agree that you have read the terms of the request.

You can use the logo artwork you create for your portfolio, sharing it online and any other usages. I will credit you on the website footer which will appear on every single webpage, and on the credits and site history page.

DESIGN BRIEF DOCUMENT

Thank you so much for anyone interested, I'll treasure your logo artwork forever x and the above legal section is a courtesy and formal notice so you are aware of what I plan to do with the logo.

Hello!

I am looking for someone to design a concept poster for a moodboard that I'm creating, which will be used as an indie film pitch. I got a design idea already and would need someone with the technical skills to bring it to life, but I'm also open to your own ideas for the poster.

Genre: Drama | Magic Realism | Anthology

What if the world kept moving forward, but we were the only things that stayed the same?

If anyone would be interested in working on such a commission-free poster by any chance, then I'd be more than happy to discuss all details with you.

Send me a DM if you're interested and thank you for reading!

Hey everyone! I’m organizing an indoor rowing competition at my old school and need a clean logo/icon to bring it to life.

It’s a zero-budget event so I can’t pay cash, but I’ll make sure your work gets seen:

Full Credit: Featured on the official school website & digital promos.

Print Exposure: Used on event posters, gift bags, and ideally event T-shirts (I’m pushing hard to get the shirts printed!).

Portfolio Assets: Great real-world mockups and photos for your portfolio, plus a written testimonial/LinkedIn review.

Looking for an athletic, high-energy design. If you're a student or designer wanting a quick portfolio piece, drop a comment or DM me!

Thanks a ton!

DESIGN BRIEF DOCUMENT

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for someone who enjoys video editing, motion graphics, or YouTube branding as a hobby.
I already have a completed intro/outro storyboard, but it just doesn’t feel polished enough. The concept is there—I just think it could be much better, and I’d love to see someone put their own creative spin on it.
This is for a \*\*hobby project\*\*, so there are \*\*no deadlines or pressure\*\*. If you enjoy creating intros, logo animations, or cinematic YouTube branding and want to build your portfolio or simply help out, I’d really appreciate it.
You’re welcome to completely redesign it in your own style if you think it would make it better. Honestly, anything is probably an improvement over what I have now. 😅
If you’re interested, send me a DM and I’ll share the storyboard and explain the vision. Full credit will always be given for your work.

Thanks you

Hi everyone! I’m looking for an artist/designer who can help recreate a logo I already have.

I’ll provide the original logo and the individual elements/details included in it. I’m looking for someone who can recreate it closely while making it clean and polished.

I’m currently on a tight budget and looking for a cost-free option if possible. I completely understand if that’s not possible, but I’d appreciate anyone willing to help.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or have any questions. Thank you!

Hey everyone!

​

I’m an IT graduate making a pivot into graphic design. I realized a while ago that my true passion is visual storytelling, not just coding. I’m proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, but I need more real-world projects to build up a portfolio.

​

So I want to help out some small business owners by offering my services 100% for free!

​

What I can help you with:

1. Logo Design / Rebranding: Giving your brand a fresh look.

2. Social Media Graphics: Templates, post layouts, or banners to level up your feed.

3. Print/Digital Assets: Business cards, flyers, etc.

​

How this works:

1. This is completely free. No catch, no hidden fees.

2. If you love the final result and want to throw a little tip my way, I’d deeply appreciate it! But please don't feel obligated.

3. If we work well together and you ever need a part-time or full-time designer (remote) down the road, I’d love to chat about it!

​

Send a dm if interested!

Hi, I'm a young animator and writer currently working on a passion animation project involving a fictional scientific and tactical universe, private military-style organizations, experimental technology, advanced AI (im not using ai dont worry theres a character that is an AI robot), and various original characters.

I'm currently looking for someone who would be interested in helping design military/tactical-style logos and insignias for some of the organizations and teams within the universe. Unfortunately, I can't offer payment, as this is a personal passion project, but full credit would be given for any designs used.

The setting revolves around a fictional multinational organization called VIREX, which operates scientific facilities, reactor sites, medical divisions, security forces, containment teams, and specialized tactical units. I'm specifically looking for logos that resemble realistic military patches, unit insignias, special operations emblems, or corporate security branding.

Some examples of groups needing logos include:

• Flux 3 – containment and rapid response teams
• Javelin 1 – security and tactical operations
• ION 2 – radiological hazard response
• MYRIAD 5 – medical response and emergency aid
• And various other departments and teams, such as medical departments, nuclear engineering, etc.

If you're interested in helping, have experience with graphic design, military insignias, or just enjoy worldbuilding projects, feel free to reach out. Im looking for someone willing to making things over a longer period of time, and or is okay with making many logos at once.

Again, please DM me so i can communicate about the logos, since i dont use reddit often.

Discord: local.raven

I'd be happy to share lore, references, concepts, and existing artwork from the project. Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some help/ideas for a logo concept for a sports team I’m creating called the South Carolina Tech Sharks.

The idea is for the logo to feature a large main “S”, with the “C” and “T” fitting into the negative space created by the S (I’ll attach a rough mockup/sketch to explain it better).

I also want the S itself to have subtle shark characteristics — like fins, teeth, a tail shape, or an aggressive/sharp style — so the logo represents both the initials SCT (South Carolina Tech) and the Sharks mascot at the same time.

I already tried creating it myself, but I feel like it still lacks the spark or identity I’m looking for.

For the colors, I’d like the letters to use the hex color #ed1c24 with a black outline.

Here is what I tried to create and what i roughly want: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kkwymJthcgoii_fgblY_KnY6Dy79Hv3D/view?usp=drive_link

I will put here the logo that served as inspiration so you know where the idea came from and what i kind of want of the finished project: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pWMPX_5hbo1TRVq1B7zQjTQHN12HC8PL/view?usp=drive_link

What I don't like about what i tried to create is that the C and the T don't fit there in my opinion, they look very out of place, and that's where i wanted some help to get all the elements to fit in the logo.

Thanks in advance!
