Projects

Arhiplus Corporate Identity(Link)

Arhiplus works in the field of architectural design and planning. The brand is defined by its personal approach and comprehensive customer support through the whole project. Arhiplus leaves open the possibility of extending their area of expertise to the field of design and manufacture of unique wooden joinery.
Our collaboration included the development of a main visual communication element (logo with logotype), basic stationary set, visual equipment of architectural folder and pictograms. The main visual element illustrates the name of the brand. Form is mitigated by organic texture that indicates a personal approach and extended activities in the field of unique wooden products. The lettering in the logotype was drawn specially for this project. Communication values included in the main visual element were also applied to other materials. In addition to business cards and letter documents, a multifunctional label that can be applied to various materials (envelopes, folders …) was also designed.

Team members:

Fabulas Corporate Identity(Link)

Fabulas communication is a company which works in the area of content development and editorial consulting. Their work is based on symbiosis. Symbiosis of content, between the client and the content writer or editor and between all of the participants on a specific project. They say that they give meaning to stories.
Our collaboration included the development of main visual communication element (logotype), basic stationary set and some promotional materials. The developed elements and materials follow the way Fabulas communicates by symbolizing their field of work. Custom designed logotype includes characteristics of hand drawn lettering. Linking letters that form the name of the company interprets the desired nouns - story and symbiosis. Basic corporate stationary elements expand the main story while the choice for bookmark and sticker as promotional materials further upgrades it.

iStudio Corporate Identity(Link)

Starting

iStudio is a company which is successfully combining the knowledge of controlling, visualization and IT tech. It is well established in the field of visual analytics, consulting and education. Our participation included a refresh of the visual identity and development of additional corporate and promotional materials. First we updated and upgraded the logo and logotype. Secondly we developed a communication concept, for which we designed pictograms
that interpret the clients scope of work. We combined them with the company slogan. The communication concept is next to the logo, the basic element of the company's promotion, and is applied to most corporate and promotional materials.

Team members:

Impro Liga Visual Identity(Link)

Starting

Slovenian championship of theatrical improvisation, Impro liga, is held in KUD France Prešeren, Ljubljana. It was first established in 1993, in the year 2005 Impro liga evolved into today's well known format. The new visual identity is based on improvisational characteristics of the show, and on the most basic element of the performance — the discipline. The logo represents a silhouette (stage lighting) of an actor on a stage in which the letter "i" appears. As a secondary graphic element we developed pictograms which represent the disciplines, and for some of them, we also produced photos which contain visual movement. Promotional posters educate the public about improvisational theatre — each poster contains a description of the presented discipline. The visual identity articulates all aspects of improvisational theatre — the player, the improvisation & the discipline.

Team members:

Štajn Corporate Identity(Link)

Starting

Institute for Development and Research of Urban spaces Štajn is a socially responsible educational group, operating in the field of urban planning projects in the city of Kamnik and outside of it. With their continued involvement they are increasing the quality of well–being and providing a uniformed, but sufficiently open structure for the individuals development. The identity is based on a custom designed slab serif type family Štajn. In the logotypes of the institute and its organizational units the word "Štajn" visually interprets the principle of the architectural layout of load. Identity's only color is black with the aim of achieving maximum contrast and reducing printing costs. Secondary visual elements are architectural hatchings. Steel used for Institute articulates
stability, sand, the diversity of skills and experiences gathered within the Group, and reinforced concrete with its frequent use in modern times, the Bureau.

Designers Society of Slovenia, 60 years(Link)

In 2012, Designers Society of Slovenia (DOS), celebrated its 60th anniversary. This high anniversary was celebrated by a gala academy in Cankarjev dom.
Professionals and the general audience was informed about the event with invitations and the event itself was accompanied by the publishing of af 128-page journal with a selection of texts on the topic of history and development of the society and the profession. For the body text of the journal we used our type family Štajn. The publication follows the principles of ecology as it is printed with organic dyes on a 100-percent recycled, FSC certified paper.

Team members:

Nativo Language and Cultural Center Corporate Identity(Link)

Nativo language and cultural center is part of Nativo d.o.o., which intertwines the study of foreign languages and cultural characteristics of geographical regions which use them. Nativo JKC organizes cultural events, language evenings with native speakers and other activities. The center is connected with similar organizations and in this way it offers the students a unique culture experience. Nativo d.o.o. expanded their range of activities with Nativo kindergarten in order to cover all age groups. For this project we developed an efficient visual identity, which includes a wide range of different basic identity and promotional materials.
