About me

Christian Baun has worked as a professional graphic designer and Creative Director for more than 30 years. Christian is one of the graphic designers who has designed the most logos in Scandinavia (375+ logos for companies and products). He has won numerous awards and is himself a permanent jury member in awards given each year in countries such as Germany, England, Italy, Hungary, and Taiwan.

Christian: "I find it incredibly inspiring and instructive to be a jury member. I always do my best, and I try to judge based on keywords such as: Idea, originality, relevance and craft".

"When I design a logo or an identity, I consider every single design task as a chance to show my ultimate. In this context, the size of the client means nothing to me, whether it is B2B or B2C. I work on the basis of the company's value proposition and relevant keywords, which often are defined together with the client".
"I will continue to work as a graphic designer and jury member for the rest of my life - because I love my job".

I have been designing logos for more than 300 different companies since 1993.

My aim is to design a logo that represents a relevant and original idea that mirrors a company's strategy and values. Which is why idea development is the most resource-intensive part of designing a logo. Every logo you see on my website is my design only. All have been implemented in the respective companies.

A logo design should be long-lasting. Some of the logos you see on my website were designed more than 20 years ago. And they still last.

When you ask me to design your logo, I guarantee you two things:
I give you a firm offer but I never finish a job unless you are absolutely satisfied. None of my customers have been rejected trademark registration at the Danish Patent and Trademark Office.

I do not think that it's necessary for a company to invest in both a logo design and a design manual. But it may give you a better overview to develop your visual identity together with your logo.

I have been a jury member in NYC, Tokyo, Milano, Innsbruck, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Düsseldorf, and I have won several awards myself.
