Today's feature is about a design being created for an online logo contest. The contest is about on creating a logo for a new opening doughnuts shop. Read on and be inspired as we bring you the contest piece designs of Pasquale Laudando, a freelance graphic and web designer based in Naples, Italy. Enjoy!

The first year of ILAS designers school, to earn some money, I used to take part to online logo contests, and "Pam & Audrey's" identity is the result of one of them. I remember the contest customers, wanted a logo for their new opening donuts shop.

It had to be funny, happy and easy to remember. "showing" familiar atmosphere was their goal too. I LOVE logotypes, and that's what I wanted to do. I started from Pacifico font, one of my favourites ever, and started working and editing it.

I made tons of attempts until I found what I thought right. Since I was free in the color choice, I started looking for something warm and familiar, but not just "for kids". Something powerful and tasty, something you'd like to eat!

I thought I made a pretty good job. Anyway, the contest ended, and I didn't won. I still liked what I did, so I decided to keep on working. I started to make the cups design, the menu, the business cards and so on. I wanted to make a full branding project, even if it was just a student personal project.

I worked on the website too, trying to reflect the brand style and the communication i made for it. I wanted a feedback, I wanted to know what people thought of my project, so I published the full identity on Behance, and I was so happy in receiving so nice comments and so many appreciations! That's my "Pam & Audrey's" story!"
