At this point, I seriously feel like crying
Just received a response to my email from a lifelong client who also happens to follow me on Instagram and has been supporting me for many, many years now. I am working on their brand and logo while also at the same time fiercely upgrading my own brand system after a couple of my reels went super viral, reaching millions of views.
This has attracted a lot of visitors to my website, along with endless DMs, emails, and enquiries, and I realised that I wasn’t at all ready for this. I never had the time to fine-tune my own brand system for all these years due to endless back-to-back client projects.
So, I decided to pause taking on projects for the time being, except for the only ongoing project of my lifelong client, and I also haven’t been able to post on Instagram for 3 months now. I have been fiercely working and refining my own brand system and upgrading everything for the past 3 months now, and I am super happy with what I’ve built silently in the background all these days. This upgrade will help me not only to better serve my clients but also be able to tend to and serve my dear audience and family on Instagram. The goal is to give as much value as possible to all who are looking to learn the skill of branding and strategic logo design. I also let my client know about this, and they were like, “Don’t worry at all, take your time, we definitely don’t want to rush you, and we want you to enjoy the process.” And this is the reason why I’m feeling super emotional right now, because I’m surrounded by a huge 180k+ family of simply amazing humans who have been so cute and extremely supportive that it makes me want to cry. So, if you’re reading this, I just want to say, God has been so good and thank you so much! God bless you, fam!

So, what have you been up to?!
How is the brand system upgrade coming up?!
11:34 pm
I can’t even tell you how happy I am!
These couple of days and months have been the happiest days in my life. I’ve never felt so much joy building my own brand system and giving it that extra care and love for myself and all my wonderful people and audience. I hope they feel the exact same joy when they interact with my new brand upgrade as I’ve personally felt in these couple of days and months!
11:38 pm
What have I been doing?
Updated my website into a super new look that felt close and real to me!
Updated and refined my own brand strategy, brand visuals, brand voice, typography, brand iconography and all that good stuff!
11:40 pm
Also, have a wonderful surprise for all my clients
Each client project will now experience a seamless process from start to finish. I’m super excited for all the new upcoming passion projects. Will only be concentrating on working with brands that actually care about people and the earth 🙂

That’s really wonderful! Cheers!

Thanks mate, God is good 🙂

God should always come first before anything.
I’ve been struggling with what to put on my main web page for days and weeks now, and I finally decided to heck with all of this, I will just start and write about God. Maybe this is the reason why I was struggling in the first place. Not writing and talking about God first. I understand now that at the end of all of human success, achievements, and everything, what will only matter is whether we have and put God first or not. If we don’t, then everything we’ve had or achieved will all start to feel meaningless and empty.
The only thing that will never run out of meaning or purpose is having a close relationship with our own Creator and always acknowledging him first in everything we do or plan to do. I know I am not writing about brands or logos, but seriously, they mean nothing if, at the end of the day, we don’t wake up and start thanking God first for everything He has done and given us. Without God, there will be no story, without God, there will be no brand, without God, there will be no logo, and without God, there will be no us.
We can create because He created us. God is the root and the reason for all human creativity. He created us in His image, and that’s the reason why we love to create too. Be it a cool brand or a cool logo or a cool product or a nice heartfelt emotional handmade card or a high-speed, super-light, super-efficient vehicle.

God makes the best logos
Have you seen God’s logos? I have 🙂
I personally feel God makes the best logos, I mean, after all, HE IS GOD, the greatest creator of all. God’s logos are so unique, distinctive, instantly recognisable, and I’d argue they’re highly memorable too, especially when you start interacting with the brands they’re attached to.
To understand what I’m trying to talk about, we have to understand the difference between a brand and a logo. And yes, the classic “A logo is not a brand.” A logo is simply a mark that is meant for identification. A brand is something that makes you feel something.
So, can you guess what the God-made logos that I’m talking about are and why they are the best?
The God-made logos are human faces, and how a particular human makes you feel is a brand. Imagine how instantly you can recognise and distinguish one human from another just by looking at their face. This is how great logos should work, instantly recognisable and memorable, and that’s the reason why God makes the best logos 🙂 Whether that brand is great or not solely depends on how that person chooses to be like. Because who they choose to become will determine whether or not you like how they make you feel.

Feeling kinda hungry
Haven’t had my lunch yet, so I’ll go grab something to eat… catch you in a minute!
3:38 pm
Done with lunch, man I’m full!
I’m just happy that I eat super clean homemade food with NO industrial seed oils or meat or animal food products or highly/ultra processed foods. Just sticking to God’s original natural plant-based foods as a way of honouring Him by taking care of this precious body that He gave me.’
It’s for the same reason I will never work with brands that try to fool people into eating their highly processed food products filled with preservatives and additives, but market them as harmless and highly attractive.

So just watch out for those brands aight.
Use your logo and branding gifts to serve brands who care about people and the planet k 🙂
