It's almost Halloween, so there's no better time than the present to check out the work of a seasonal design studio called Maniac Pumpkin Carvers. This time each year they work tirelessly to create quirky and eye-catching jack-o-lanterns featuring corporate logo designs. While this might sound straightforward, carving out a logo accurately can be surprisingly difficult.

While only recently in Australia has Halloween been embraced as a time to celebrate all things dark and spooky, in America, the holiday has long been known as the perfect time to market or promote your brand in innovative (and often kooky) ways. The work of the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers is about as far from our lazy Halloween costume article as it comes! Rather than lazy, these designs are tight, and the group is frequently commissioned to produce logo decorated pumpkins for Halloween advertising campaigns.

After looking at these logo designs, illuminated in the pumpkin carving studio, it's pretty clear to see why these artisans are considered the best in the business. Not only do they accurately render the traditional brand logos in real pumpkins, but they add seasonal touches such as spider webs and bats without taking away from the overall look of the logo design.

It's easy to see why this team of skillful carvers are in demand with businesses and individuals alike -- there's quite simply nothing like these pumpkins on the market! The logo branding looks wonderful and the use of pumpkin as a medium is innovative and eye-catching. While this branding option isn't likely to take off Down Under any time soon, we love seeing what crafty people from all over the world can do with nothing but a pumpkin and some mad carving skills!
