I’m a trained media designer and state-certified design assistant, and I love creating logos and illustrations. I’m also specialized in web and advertisement design, as well as front-end development.
My name is Niklas Menten, I’m 27 years old and I live in the heart of Cologne. At the tender age of 14, I dared to use Adobe Photoshop for the first time and started designing my YouTube thumbnails myself. From then on, the ball started rolling and I continued to navigate my way through the graphics jungle. From 3D design, logos and illustrations to web- and advertisement design. Through my training as a state-certified design assistant and the follow-up training as a digital and print media designer, I was able to deepen and expand these skills.
Over the years, I have been able to expand and refine my repertoire of skills through my numerous practical experiences. As a result, I am familiar with a wide range of graphics programs and am able to actively support you in realizing your visions.

Brand identities in sport and play
Mascot Logos
I have always had a great passion for video games and esports. This fascinating world has always inspired and motivated me to get creative. As many esports teams are represented by mascot logos, I was increasingly confronted with this type of brand identity and started designing my own mascot logos. Eight years later, I can look back on a considerable number of logos and many satisfied customers. You can see an excerpt of my work below.
Give free rein to creativity
Illustrations
I have always had a preference for clear shapes and colors. That’s why I have used illustrations to give my friends and family a new look and reinterpreted their photos and ideas in a creative way (…this has always made a good birthday or Christmas present).
The eye-catcher for future experiences
Event posters
An old acquaintance introduced me to the event industry and gave me the opportunity to design posters for various events. There were no limits to my creativity, so I was able to capture the motto of the respective event in a motif.
Giving the World-Wide-Web a new look
Webdesign
I first came into contact with web design and Content-Management-Systems such as WordPress during my training as a digital and print media designer. Since then, the creation of responsive websites has held a very special place in my designer heart. I am also very familiar with HTML5 and CSS3 as well as the necessary JavaScript to create an individual result.
Here is a small selection of customer reviews. These range from Mascot logo orders to illustrations and advertisement graphics.
On behalf of my clan (…) once again a huge thank you for your work… you realized everything perfectly and exceeded our expectations enormously. (…) I will definitely recommend you to others. Many thanks again Niklas.
