MOODBOARD
BUNKDAT LOGO
I'm excited about the prospect of designing a logo that truly captures the essence of what BunkDat is all about. t's essential that the logo is not only visually appealing but also conveys the core purpose of the app. That's why I've decided to use the letter "b" to represent a home, which is at the heart of what my app does. I believe that a logo that visually depicts what the app is all about can be a powerful tool in attracting potential users.
