for a New World Record for One Logo a Day
challenge to complete exactly in…
WHAT IS
OLAD?
I started OLAD, One Logo a Day design challenge on Instagram officially on September 11, 2017, with an aim to better myself as a logo designer because of my intense love and passion for logos, especially the ones with hidden meaning. Had no idea this would turn into a full-time career and, by God’s grace, grow into a huge design family page and to be working on several projects with amazing people from all over the world.
I’ll be attempting to make a New World Record by continuing this journey and finishing 10 Years of One Logo a Day Challenge by September 11, 2027, which totals 3,652 logos! It’s insane to think that most of the 2500 logos created so far in this entire journey have already gone viral on Instagram and have received so much love. Praise be to God, let’s go!

This was one of the 1st simple behind-the-scenes logo creation videos that I made to show the process behind developing a logo from a sketch. Reels feature on Instagram didn’t exist during this time, and static images were reigning. So, this slide shift of having a video inside a carousel invited a lot of attention during this time.
Going Grey

The logo on Day 685 marks my transition into a grey-scale IG profile after researching my entire content and realising all my previous grey-scale logos were performing far better than the colored ones. I also understood from colour psychology that grey evokes creativity, and since coming up with one logo every day is not a joke, I used this knowledge to be more productive. This simple transition brought in more visitors to my page and ultimately more & more followers. All praise be to God.

It is said that behind every successful man, there is a woman, and that woman in my life is my mom. Being her caretaker with her lifelong bipolar condition, I made this special logo post for her to make people aware of bipolar disorder. In spite of her condition, she pushed through and worked really hard her entire life to put food on our table and to make me who I am today. I can never repay her, even with a thousand lifetimes, and that’s why she’s God’s greatest blessing in my life. The best mom I could ever have.

As usual, I was fooling around with the random word generator and the word ‘single’ appeared. This emotionally struck me because I was going through something similar in life at that moment. Had a funny idea in my mind to let go of my frustration with the kind of people I met, and that idea seemed to somehow resonate with a million other people, and everyone had a laugh.
Breakthrough Logo Reel

Since Instagram switched to and started prioritising users to use more reels, it was a personal challenge for me to switch and adapt to the vertical video format, especially to show my face. After days and months of constantly posting reels, I finally discovered the right format to showcase my strategic logo process. This, I believe, was the breakthrough reel format that worked for me and helped me to shape all other future logo reels following a vertical split screen format with my design on top and with me at the bottom explaining the process. All praise be to God.

Following my breakthrough logo reel format, I decided to make a brand logo to declare God and to make the world understand that his creation and food products are better than all made-made ultra processed food products that affect human health. Consuming food that God gives us in natural form, minimally cooked or processed, helps the body naturally stay strong and healthy. No man-made food can ever come close to even a simple garlic or any other natural food created by God, perfectly designed to be the human body’s natural fuel.
