Designer Shows What He Considers To Be Good Design By Creating Logos With Hidden Symbols
Creating a beautiful and clever logo is hard. But with a master's degree in design and 15 years of experience in the industry, Mustafa Ömerli has perfectly mastered the art of representing ideas. To show off his skills, Mustafa has been creating typography logos for random words. Parent. Tunnel. Disability. Whatever he's portraying, Mustafa seems to always pinpoint the essence of that particular word and it's truly captivating.

"With these typography logos, I'm trying to show examples of what I believe is good design," Mustafa from Istanbul, Turkey, told Bored Panda. "It's all about function, aesthetics, and clever ideas."
His motto is 'positive mind, negative space.' "In my works, you can feel the positivity and see the negative space."
Web developer and graphic designer James George said that viewers like images with negative space because they don’t have to work too hard to get it: "A healthy balance between great negative space and intrigue will entice the viewer to spend extra time looking at [a] design."
"Your viewers will be more likely to remember the design’s intended message via the use of creative imagery," George added.
"When I'm creating something like this, my mind is working spontaneously but my design process is carefully planned," Mustafa said. "My approach to this typography logo project usually starts when I pick a word. I then try to truly understand its meaning. After that, I just come up with an idea to express this meaning."

I really like this one. I love that ability is the most visible part. When working with people who have disabilities, I always try to look at what they are able to do rather than what they can't do.
Makes me think about invisible disabilities and how people respond to them. I have epilepsy with active seizures and people don't see that. What they see is that I look fine so I must be pretending or "mooching" because they assume I'm lazy. I think it's a great representation of this.
Yes, I, too, have several 'invisible' disabilities, and need to wear a mask in places with strong perfumes or petrochemicals. No one seems to mind offending me when I need to wear it in their presence. I'm to blame. Pathetic. I tell them to be grateful for their good health, and would wish me to have mine, too. Or not. Not my problem. Theirs. That's my ability.

Love this! Handicap signs should use this might cut down on the evillooks for the folks who struggle to do even basic activities bit get evil looks for using anything with a handicap sign on it.
This actually took me a few seconds because in my country (Norway), we have three extra letters and this one looks a lot like the last one. It could have been written in a fancy way.
These are all so extraordinarily simple that you truly have to be very good at what you are doing in order to come up with them.
I can't begin to imagine what this word suppose to be. Someone please help.
LOL I thought it was a little sword pointing downwards at first. "Don't mess with my daughter..."

These are brilliant! I had to pause for a second to get the more subtle ones but that made it all the more interesting. Excellent work- more like this please BP!
They’re all really nice and clever, but it feels like he thought of the image first and then a word where it could be used. Normal company names aren’t always that clear cut.
I like this content. It might not be high energy concepts or anything but this is what we come here for, is it not? Cool art from regular people and a little commentary.
Nice work! F1RST is actually a surf shop here in Miami, owned by some friends.
Been a graphic designer for years. A few are OK. Some are straight out of 1975. Also it's easy to make a logo when you are choosing the word to use like 'orbit' or 'fold' or 'vibrate'. The talent comes in when you are trying to design a logo or wordmark for an actual company.
However, there are quite a few I didn't get since I'm not from his culture or part of the world.
