Seedstages Logo

Logo for Seedstages, an online platform that helps students find exciting collaboration opportunities for technology-driven ventures.

The Seedstages team approached me with a unique challenge – to design a logo for their crowdsourcing platform that harmoniously blended technical elements with organic imagery. Drawing inspiration from their vision, I set out to create a logo that would encapsulate the essence of their platform. Exploring various concepts, I sketched approximately 50 icons, exploring symbolism such as leaves, light bulbs, circuit boards, and clouds.

Collaborating closely with the principals of Seedstages, we embarked on a journey to refine these initial sketches. Through thoughtful discussions and a meticulous process of elimination, we narrowed down the selection to ten sketches that best captured the desired balance between the technical and organic aesthetics. The chosen concepts primarily revolved around the themes of leaves and circuit diagrams, as they encompassed the essence of Seedstages’ vision.

From there, I took the selected sketches and translated them into a vibrant and visually striking logo design known as the Sprouting Circuit. This colorful representation fused elements of nature and technology, showcasing a sprouting leaf intertwined with delicate circuitry. The juxtaposition evoked a sense of growth, innovation, and the fruitful collaboration fostered by Seedstages’ platform.

The Sprouting Circuit logo became the visual cornerstone of the Seedstages brand, symbolizing their commitment to advancing ideas and fostering a nurturing environment for innovative projects to flourish. By combining the realms of nature and technology, the logo embodied the essence of their crowdsourcing platform, portraying both the organic potential of ideas and the technical sophistication of the collaborative process.

It was a privilege to contribute to the Seedstages team’s vision by crafting a logo that not only visually represented their platform, but also conveyed their values and aspirations. The Sprouting Circuit logo stood as a testament to their commitment to both technical advancement and embracing the inherent beauty and resilience of nature.
