Today marks a significant milestone in my journey as a designer. As I sit down to reflect, memories flood back to a time when I was just starting my career with Liquid Studios. It was a period of learning, growth, and unexpected opportunities that would shape my trajectory in unimaginable ways.

One particular project stands out vividly in my mind—the website redesign for the Malta Community Chest Fund. The project came at a time when the website desperately needed a facelift. Its outdated design no longer resonated with the community it served. With determination and creativity, our team embarked on the task of breathing new life into this digital platform.

But it wasn’t just about revamping the website; it was about crafting an identity that captured the essence of the Malta Community Chest Fund. In a stroke of inspiration, I decided to complement the website redesign with a new logo—a symbol that would embody the Fund’s mission and values. It was a bold move, considering the simplicity of the existing logo, which I humorously suspect might have been created using Microsoft Paint.

Little did I know that this decision would have far-reaching consequences. The logo I designed caught the attention of none other than the President of Malta at the time, George Abela. His enthusiasm for the design was overwhelming, and before I knew it, my creation had become intertwined with the national identity.

Ten years have passed since that pivotal moment, and yet the significance of what transpired still resonates deeply within me. Seeing the logo I crafted being prominently displayed year after year fills me with a sense of pride and humility. It’s a constant reminder of the power of design to transcend boundaries and leave a lasting impact on society.

Today, as we celebrate Labor Day, I am reminded of the countless hours spent pouring my heart and soul into my work. To all the workers out there, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. May your efforts never go unnoticed, and may you find fulfillment in every endeavor you undertake.

As I close this journal entry, I am filled with gratitude for the journey that has brought me to this point. Here’s to the power of creativity, perseverance, and the enduring legacy of a simple logo that became so much more.

Happy holidays to all workers.
