Vokzalna

Vokzalna (Railway) Station Identity, inspired by the perpetual heartbeat of the city – the Kyiv Metro. Most people admire Kyiv’s landscapes, but few seem to pay attention to its equally picturesque underground. This identity was born from exploring the visual identity of the area and began with the idea that the station’s hall wall grid could serve as an ideal canvas for lettering. A mesh that narrates the journey’s path.

Animated intros for LNAA Educational programs

Wave bright

It is a hard time in our history when flag shines brighter than moon and stars all together. When flag means more than a combination of colours. More than a national symbol. More than anyone can put into words. It is something that we have in our hearts and that keeps us on fighting for who we are.

Once peaceful

Since childhood forest has always been the place where I spent good and bad moments of my life. It was a playground and a perfect spot for family activities. When I grew up, long walks in the forest helped me to reflect on my life and make life-changing decisions. Nowadays, forests, same as great part of our land, have become a battlefield and a shelter for Ukrainian soldiers. Once a peaceful place will never be the same. As Ukrainians and their lives.

Maturity of War.

Another facet of the mental state during war is when war takes away dreams and cripples the destinies of children. Only competent psychological support from adults will help them survive in this chaos of emotions.
Their childhood was taken away, but their hope was not taken away.
Although these are no longer children, but adults who have gone through pain.

Talk to the Wall! No 4

There is stuff written on the wall of every other dark corner, underpass or subway – different stuff, mostly ugly stuff. When one is feeling down, he or she is likely to take it too personally.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, it feels like the walls of every other underpass are closing in on any Ukrainian, screaming their ugly stuff at them, while they are taking it too personally.
At least that’s how the artist feels.

Acis and Galathea theatrical poster design

Acis and Galathea is an opera by Georg Friedrich Händel, a take on the Ancient Greek tragic love story. In 2019, Open Opera Ukraine did a reimagining of this opera, combining historically informed performance with contemporary scenography. For the main visual Anna Gadetska, creative director of Open Opera, came up with the idea of a photoshoot in the water. The photos by Zhenia Perutska are combined with Iryna Kostyshyna’s typographical take on the classic antiqua letters.

Project M2

Chevrons for the elite M2 unit, embodying a symbol that strikes fear into enemies.

League invoked a powerful weapon imagery. A distinct font, emphasizing recognition, pairs with an engineering font akin to NASA’s precision. Weapon-style markings and the iconic sword of Areus, bathed in the blood of enemies, symbolizing victory and precision. This chevron, easily stenciled, is both a badge of honor and a warning: the bearer is M2, a force to be reckoned with.
