Name Thomas Müller Company Curassist After winning the Rheinland Pitch competition in Germany, Curassist turned to 99designs to design a seal to use on the platform that would indicate who the top-rated nurses are. (Or the “Platinum” nurses, one may say.) “I was impressed by the quality of designers, and enjoyed seeing their ideas and developments.” A design a day keeps the doctor away, right? Thomas Müller and the Curassist team are revolutionizing the world of nursing! By directly connecting patients with nurses, Curassist eases the difficulty of administrative tasks and makes both patients’ and nurses’ lives easier. Name David Vaucher Company Cup and Chisel “There’s nothing like the smell of coffee and saw dust in the morning.” - Ron Swanson Well, actually, we don’t think Ron said that. But we’ll bet money that Cup and Chisel would be Ron’s go-to stop for coffee in the morning. Stemming from an appreciation for hand-crafted wood and leather work and, of course, coffee David Vaucher created Cup and Chisel, what he believes to be the first combination coffee shop, hand-tool wood shop, and lifestyle brand. David had been planning the development of his business for some time, and he knew that the execution of a perfect logo would be crucial in order to elevate his brand to to the level he was after. So, he researched 99designs and gave it a shot. “We received a logo that far exceeded expectations, and everyone that sees it says something along the lines of, ‘That's amazing, where did you have it done?’ We always tell people about 99designs now, and we will be using the site again for our design needs!” A handmade-job well done!
