In today's world we are all connected, and it's increasingly apparent in the world of design. Designs have the ability to connect to their audience in numerous ways, whether they empower, inspire or paralyze the viewer. Often designers from different countries have an extremely different approach towards creative process for the same product.
How does country of origin affect a designer's style?
Sweden and Denmark raised designers are often the most advanced in the field of graphic and web design, due to the fact that the majority of their work is built upon minimalism. You'll notice that many of their architecture and furniture is simple, yet functional. I'm sure you've heard of a small furniture company called Ikea. They have built an empire on minimalist design, oftentimes with a maximum number of assembly pieces!
Many other countries, such as the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom, are known for their diverse multicultural populations. As a result each designer has a unique sense of style that is indicative of various influences, much like a melting pot.

Nonetheless, we are all united in design through creative and compelling logos from thousands of companies that bombard us throughout our daily routines.
Whether you need illustration design or web design to kick-start your launch campaign, presentational PowerPoint photos or top notch tshirts, opportunities to showcase your brand are endless. DesignCrowd contests for logos are bringing the world together one design at a time!
Our community of over 400,000 designers worldwide offers expertise in over 40 design categories that leverage design crowdsourcing to provide stunning imagery and impactful designs in a quick and timely fashion.
We decided to pick our favorite logos from our Top 13 earning designers across the globe and challenge you to identify key differences in style. If you do, please comment below and tell us what you think each stylistic change is attributed to.
UK
Our number one designer, pb, is from United Kingdom. They've compiled over $700K in earnings on over 8,000 images. The Queen would be very proud knowing that one of her own has been crowned the King!
India
The next country's powerhouse designer is smart and comes from India, with over 10 years of experience and $150K in contest prizing. Their motto is to provide creative and functional designs by giving their best to limited projects and giving them a spot on the Taj Mahal of Fame!
Brazil
There's more to Brazil than bikini waxes, beautiful women and Carnival. Brazilian Pablo Von Crust specializes only in Logo designs and has worked his way to become our 4th most successful designer by earning almost $125K.
Malaysia
Our 5th most profitable designer has built a following by providing quality graphics for both websites and WordPress development. Much like Malaysia, OM's designs have become a fan favorite for stunning imagery and a customizable experience.
Indonesia
Usually, when we think of Indonesia, Jakarta, Bali and Borneo come to mind. Here at DesignCrowd however only one name matters: Alchemist. With 87% positive feedback and $100K in earnings, they're clearly having a powerful effect throughout our design community.
United States
The most successful American designer is jaime.sp and is currently our 9th ranked designer in terms of awarded earnings. We've decided to start calling the United States the "Land of the Free, Home of Design".
Philippines
Armed with a laptop and a pencil, ArtTank is a one-man army, a hybrid of traditional art and technology, flying like a butterfly and stinging like a bee with over $94K in earnings for his graphic designs.
Pakistan
Technology Wisdom is a client-oriented software house which, founded in 2002, is steadily marching towards becoming a research-oriented organization delivering breathtaking imagery for clients around the world. TechWise is the 11th most successful designer and there's a reason Pakistan is touted as "The Next Big Thing!"
Macedonia
You can have your Greek cookies and yogurt, but we'd rather delight ourselves in this designer's crisp, clean and calculated logo and website designs. Although Macedonia joined the United Nations in 1993, Fanolj Ademi has been part of the designing elite since day one!
Mongolia
Atvento Graphics are not only making our mouths water, but revolutionizing packaging designs from their offices in Mongolia. What's tastier than a plate of Mongolian BBQ? Winning $80K for less than 400 design prototypes.
Canada
Oh Canada, not only do you have the perfectly self-titled anthem, but you also have an extremely talented designer named BuckTornado who tears into each and every logo design. A love for animals resonates strongly throughout the 17th most successful designer's portfolio. Take a look!
Australia
DesignCrowd is actually based in Australia, which is also where 19th most successful designer bluejet calls home. Their inside and outside the box logos are both simple and powerful, much like a kick from a kangaroo!
Sweden
Concept Company hails from Sweden and has over 23 years of design experience with a focus in the health industry and the volunteers' sector. Did you notice the minimalistic design? Can you see how the colors bisect each other in the center to form a cross just like the Swedish flag? Fun with designs, that's what we do here. Stay awhile.
These thirteen designers are only the tip of the iceberg, as DesignCrowd offers over 450,000+ more right at your fingertips! We should appoint Board members for our United Nations of Design to deliver a creative solution to world peace. Or maybe we will simply assign representatives from each country to redesign the United Nations logo.
