Wild Ambitions / Teenovator 5

For Teenovator’s 5th Finals, we set out to turn a traditional awards ceremony into an exhilarating battle of young entrepreneurs. Inspired by reality shows like Survivor, we mixed professional vibes with jungle energy. The goal? To craft an event that felt like a thrilling adventure, where each step was a climb toward success, complete with the grit and determination needed to win in the business world.

As mentioned, the design drew from the wildlife—think jungle vibes with a modern twist. We deliberately used bold, slightly fragmented typography and capital letters when crafting the event’s logo (also its headline), the “Battle of the Successful”, to evoke a sense of unpredictability, much like the entrepreneurial journey itself. Dark tones gave the gran finale a ceremonial vibe, while vibrant, bright colors brought out that youthful spirit, so akin to our teenage years. Then, we integrated a few jungle-like motifs, like abstract lianas and stylized wild animals, with business symbols, like pie charts and graphs, to keep things a bit quirky but consistent enough with the brand's core values. Finally, the stage had totem-like graphics, while prize certificates nicely blended fun and professionalism. After all, who says you can’t look cool while winning an award, right?

The jungle theme is there, but it’s subtle (no full-on Tarzan vibes) just enough to feel like a “Survivor” elimination round. The design feels sharp, modern, and just edgy enough to keep things interesting. From print to digital, from the stage to the photo booth, the event branding successfully captures their moment of victory in an environment that speaks "adventure meets success."
