22 buro identity
For five years we worked without an identity (only a logo). We are growing – bigger projects, bigger team, so we create BIG branding design identity. The idea is a “primitive” design at the level of handouts (like ads near the subway) printed at standard neon paper. Illustrations – analogies with our creative process. Simple but loud style.
Stand of heroes
The Foundation “Stands of Heroes” is a support for the families of fallen football fans from all over Ukraine. Idea of identity – We did free identity for this volunteer fund. The main elements are the logo that resembles an obelisk and forms the contours of our country, as well as silhouettes of figures of heroes whose faces we do not know. This poster is new and never published anywhere.
