Happy Holidays - Logo Design — Happy Holidays to all you good little boys & girls! Go check idgram.com or gertvanduinen.com to see a few more of my Holideers... The highs & lows of life this year have been like a challenging stroller coaster to me personally. I particularly count my blessings with my beloved friend @José who stood by me, anytime, both professionally & privately. I can't thank you enough for jus...
Hippo - Logo Design Brand Mark Symbol — Obviously an object that's greater than the sum of its parts :) "Think he all badass 'n cool, when he really just a bigass lazy mo'fucka logo designer" Says Andy the Aardvark. Edit: I've uploaded a short-tailed version of this lof logo design to idgram.
Tangent Lines to Curved Segments in Logo Design — For the last couple of months a few people asked how to connect a tangent line to a curved segment in order to create a smooth geometrically correct transition from a curve to a straight line. I promised to make a little GIF animation to explain this method. So, if you ever wondered how to make tangent lines to a curved path by hand, in order to create a smooth transition of any angle, here's ...
Flyvinci - Logo / Brand Mark Design — A new brand mark - actually a V & Y monogram, as part of a new logo for Flyvinci. Founded in Belgium, home of the waffle Flyvinci takes you to places beyond your imagination. From departure to arrival, they offer several products for your trip, so that you can sit back and relax. Flyvinci focuses on the comfort of flight crew around the world. "Your destination is our flight plan. Your j...
Meet Wessy - logo design — A first take on Wessy. Still a rough inked with Microns, and of course needs some corrections and refinements on the light / shadow parts, more eye definition, nose job, etc. when client decides the appropriate direction. I started to like the character of the dog and try to engage the client in the process as soon as I think I got something going on. In this case my gut says we might be close...
Jurassic Wine Logo — The oldest wine in the world in a kingsize bottle, lol With all these cool wine logos out here for the last couple of days, I just wanted to swing a little fun one in here ;) While I was sketching some gecko concepts for an upcoming project, I really got inspired by one of these little odd doodles that totally didn't look like a gecko at all. Instead I was looking at this huge Brachiosaurus t...
David Bowie: Icon for an Icon — A little tribute icon to David Bowie. A true artist who has been an inspiration to me and to others in one way or another. T-Shirts (men/women all sizes, fabrics & colours) for sale here at Cottonbureau Also check out at my Bēhance Any profit from the t-shirts sold on @CottonBureau goes to a child cancer charity fund.

Foxy — Been working on a quick little foxy in my spare time. Still needs some polishing, but hey... gotta safe something for later right ;)
Moth - Logo Design — Found an old moth behind a lamp and felt he deserved his own illustration. It was such a fun 10 min Illustrator excersise anyway! xD
Reign - Logotype Design — Logotype gig I did for Reign some time ago. Hope you like it
Polar Bear Logo — A trace back from one of my old Moleskines and some help from a reference shot, see attached. Also made a few with a cute little cub inside, which I might post later...
Malea Logotype / Wordmark Design — After a fistful of revisions, I'm proud to present the final logotype / wordmark for Malea, originally designed from scratch and originally derived from one of those colored kids mega markers (see attachment), which turned out to be a winner at the end. Malea is a free, independent web-based magazine that focuses on bringing up the adoption of healthy lifestyles. Keywords to describe the value...
One Pixel - Brand Mark 3D Cube Logo Construction — Final brand mark (icon) for One Pixel, a software/design company specialized in designing UI/UX in addition to building apps, with an intense focus on detail, even those as minor as 1 pixel, hence the name. The six edges and vertices of the hexagonal logo forms an open 3D cube with the inclusion of the number one.
JL Monogram — Feel free to catch me up at Instagram.
Logo Design Construction for SimpleTiger — Logo design exploration of a new brand mark for SimpleTiger, which is an Inbound marketing agency. The construction of all brand mark iterations has been solely based on two circles of different sizes so far. Although I made lots of these single-line tiger head iterations already, at this point we're still exploring other concepts, such as a full-body tiger mark for instance.
Bulley - Initial Process Steps — Initial steps for a little personal project. Setting up some guides for the sake of geometry and proportion. Needs lots of refinements though. But then again it's just an 10 min initiating process to set up those guides for future improvements. Really need to get my ass back onto client stuff before they're gonna freak out on me :D Should I continue or just drop it like it's hot? Larger scr...
Monk Design Logo Design — Trying to complete the Monk Design logo today, along with a few other logo design projects that are screaming to be completed as soon as possible. Too busy with too many projects as always guys ;) Under influence of Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here.
Wolf - Working Process — Working process of a slender but powerful howling wolf for Wolfs Little Store. As you can see I'm working on a few refinements. The one bottom-left is a computerized version that will be put into a black circle as the logo, but still needs some polishing. Client particularly wants to have the eyes stand out more. More about this later... I used Rotring 0.1 and Copic 0.05 ultra fine liners to ...
Python Exercise Process — Exercise process shot of a badass python. Client wants an aggressive lean mean python machine, attacking with deadly fangs showing. Most probably still a bit too mean and detailed for a fall-protection / safety company, lol. As you can see I'm working on its scale in the top-right to get it right with the 0.1 Copic Fine Liners. After studying pythons for a while I found out about their amazi...
Reconstructing the Lion Head Logo — Initiated the reconstruction of the old lion head logo. Have a nice day to ya'll!
R.I.P Gal Yuri — It's a black day for any of us who knew Yuri Galitsyn personally and those who are familiar with his work. A great artist who no longer is among us. Saddened by the sinister news I got from @Yana Makarevich that hit me like a rock this afternoon. Although I knew there was something going on like a month or two ago, I didn't expect his time was coming to an end so soon at the age of 40. Yuri ...

The other is focused on research & development of new digital products. The word Tidy is used in wales to describe something as cool or used a positive response. The expert guys approached me for a cool & fun logo, as they ...
Silverback Logo concept — Working on two versions for Silverback: a detailed one as shown here and a super simplified one based on my usual more geometric design process. I very much like the strong, proud and casually calm and relaxed character of this version, though I didn't want to get too much involved into polishing this concept as the client will probably go for the simplified geometric version anyway. Note that...
Wolfs Little Store - Logo Design — Polishing up the last few details of the new logo for Wolfs Little Store. One of the challenges was to use as few lines as possible while still evoke some emotion and character into this mark.
