I was extremely uncertain whether to participate for the third time in the Crypto Logo Art Challenge by @sndbox. But the new theme was extremely inspiring as well. I was able to work at night only, but it was great fun.

I always try to understand the form, to analyze it before doing anything else. The previous one, The Ethereum logo, was very solid, with sharp edges, perfect for the Art Deco style. This Ripple logo on the other hand has soft, almost natural elements. That reminded me of Alphonse Mucha's incredible and distinct style. ^.^
So I decided to do an Art Nouveau. Or at least I tried. :D

I was inspired by these images:

As always, I started changing the logo first.
I had some ornaments I developed for another project, but decided to use in this composition. It's not Art Nouveau related, but creates interesting contrast as part of the logo.

It was time to change the color scheme to look more like the reference photos.

From here on all I had to do was adding more and more details. One thing I had in mind - all had to be in the same direction as the three elements of the logo.
So first were ornaments very similar to human hair. ;)
In this composition the logo is the brightest one, all the others are darker.

Next was additional elements for the background, because I didn't know how to finish the center. Decided to leave it for a day. :D
Just duplicated the same "hairy" elements but in different color gradient and size.

Finally, had an idea how to fill the gaps. It looked a lot like stylized lotus flower, hehe. This was pure coincidence. ^^

Finally, I was able to finish it with some additional color, but with a lower opacity than the Ripple logo.

You put so much thought into your logo design. I hope you win.

Oh, thank you, @scrawly! ^^
I was one of the winners in the previous challenge, so I don't know about this one. Either way, it was fun doing this entry. ;)

Oh you already won before? Then they must like your creations :D.
I think it would be terrible if they don't choose this one ONLY because you have created something good before, seems a bit harsh to punish you for making good stuff repeatedly.

Oh, don't worry, I don't see it as punishment. ;) In fact, many of the previous winners prefer not to participate again. I wasn't sure either, but just couldn't resist, because the idea was interesting. ;)

I hope you'll win again, Katalina (I've read in the comments that you were one of the winners in the previous round- congratulations :)) This entry is very very good! I love its geometry, colours, and beautiful lines. Fantastic work and great showing of the process <3

Thank you so much, dear! ^.^ <3
Yes, they really liked the previous entry in Art Deco style. ;)
This time I was not very detailed in the description of the text (I was very tired, I only worked at night on this project). I hope it turned out good. ;)

Looks Epic, Pet! Great work there! I love the research, True designer workflow! But you know that :D

Hehe, thanks, Dragu! I'm very happy you like it!
Btw, can't wait to get "Passing the point of remission" in my hands. ;)

Oh yeah, i can't wait to finish it too. But i feel like i have to change the cigar design. idk. :D

Hmm, I like the design. But maybe it's too bright unlike the other elements in your composition? Or the contrast between the male character and the cigar is too big. Just a suggestion. ;)

i will figure it out tomorrow, now i'm too tired to think. :) Thank you!

Welcome, Dragu. Take some good rest, will ya? ;)

I did :P :D

Beautiful result, I'm really happy you made the cut @katalinaooma. Congrats!

Thank you, dear! I'm so glad you like it! ^.^
Congratulations to you too! Your design is so unique, and your approach - even more awesome and beautifully expressed (unfortunately, I've always been bad with abstract forms ^^')

Thank you @katalinaooma. Art nouveau is very abstract as well, only this guy I used created asymmetric compositions which are much more difficult to balance, in there lies the challenge. Any who, I look forward to seeing your work in the next competitions :)
