FASHION HOUSE Group – developer and operator of fashion outlets (UK)
A rebranding – the new logo was developed from a bold and surprising, albeit logical evolution of the old logomark.
The abstract form of rising geometric solids invokes associations with both developer and operator activity of the Group. It references spatial dimension, development and growth. The colorful and multipart construction of the mark reflects the wide spectrum and multiple directions of FH Group’s activity.
Graphic motifs derived from the mark’s structure form spectacular configurations to be used in layouts of publications and advertisements, while the color palette allows building navigation with the use of the color code.

Terra Brasilis – Brazilian culture foundation
The logomark uses in an authorial way the most Brazilian associations.
The likeness of a parrot has been merged with contours of Brazil and the colors of its flag. The pleasing graphic consists of overlaid soft shapes. The typeface used, mimicking the style of amateur shop signs, surprisingly close resembles the writing of the famous mosaic from Rio De Janeiro.

Mikavi – electronics brand
The Mikavi logo was meant to be simple and professional. Apple brand design was described as a reference
Following a suggestion from the client, we proposed an image resembling a bird silhouette. Additionally we shaped it like a letter "M". It's minimal and modern, constructed precisely making use of the circumcircle of an equilateral triangle. It also brings to mind a drone and a prism.
This logo was chosen by DesignRush as one of The Best Letter Logo Designs.

Flormoss – Interior Decor with Moss and Greenery
At first, the client wanted a realistic representation of the plants they used in their services. However, after trying that approach, they were convinced to embrace our preferred more simplistic and symbolic approach better.
The Flormoss logo is straightforward - it's the initial letter "F" made of leaves or moss clusters. Since the company often decorates vertical walls, we incorporated a vertical element in the letter "F" to represent that. The horizontal shapes show the 3D nature of the flora growing from the wall.
The logo color is, unsurprisingly, green. We selected an elegant, rather dark shade of green, along with two alternative tones - a very dark one and a vibrant light one. These variations serve different purposes, making the branding more versatile. The elegance is further emphasized by the classic shapes of the letters.

Galeria Jurajska – shopping center
A popular shopping center needed a new visual identity, starting with the logo and ranging to a complete wayfinding system. The design brief described the desired feel to be "like a signet ring", an established, exclusive brand.
We wanted to maintain a connection with the old logo design. I removed all that was superfluous – four squares remained. I added a fifth with the monogram centrally on top of them. With white letters against a black background it sports an appearance of a top fashion brand label. The customized lettering resembles famous brands like Gucci or Coco Chanel.

This spa stands out with Chinese moxa therapy, where Artemisia herb is burned. The goal was to emphasize the oriental and luxurious nature of the services.
The chosen design features a simple shape, that is a blend of the early Chinese fire symbol and the traditional form of Asian roofs. It allows for creating elegant patterns that blend Art Deco and oriental aesthetics.

Gardener – Garden Supplies Store
We crafted a complete visual identity for this online and brick-and-mortar store which has been around for over 30 years. We gave a stylish update to the existing Gardener character from the previous logo. To make the logo as versatile as possible, we created over 50 versions with different layouts, colors, and texts (across 3 color palettes: CMYK, RGB, and PANTONE)!
The round emblem in stained glass style showcases the gardener in his distinctive hat and red-green outfit, holding a rake that also resembles rays of sunlight or a branching tree. The bold outlines ensure clarity and serve as the foundation for various branding elements like product category icons or marketing illustrations.

DMalip – Digital Marketing
The logo draws inspiration from cosmic symbolism, conveying limitless possibilities and a connection to spirituality, a key emphasis for the client. It incorporates elements of the sun and moon, representing emerging light and signifying visibility in marketing, new ideas, and positive energy. The separate semicircular burst references the letter 'D.' The overall graphic forms a globe shape, indicating a global reach, while the central element resembles the helmet of an astronaut ready to explore new territories.
For a clean and modern look, we paired the simple emblem with a stylish font featuring geometric and bold letter shapes. The visual suggestion of space and gold adds depth and sophistication.

uxtivity – Digital Agency
We teamed up with this agency to create a logo for their client, and they liked it so much that they invited us to work on their own rebranding. The goal was to craft a modern and professional logo without an additional graphic symbol. This involved creating custom lettering. We used the Bilbao Medium font as a base but tweaked the shapes of all the letters except 't' and 'y,' carefully adjusting the spacing between each pair of letters. The result is a simpler, sans-serif, and dot-free text with a more dynamic feel and increased symmetry.
We also designed an avatar that uses part of the logo as a logo emblem, transforming the 'x' into an arrow.

Tres Magos – furniture for children
Tres Magos is Spanish for the Three Wise Men / Kings / Magi. The name, referencing the distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts, was meant to represent a producer of smart furniture for children, designed according to the Montessori education method.
The logomark portrays both the Magi – as three colored silhouettes or wizard hats, as well as Kings – in the form of a crown, which symbolises also the highest quality of products. The pleasant colors, rounded corners and use of basic shapes signals the children's theme.

The Shape Manufacture – ceramics atelier
The logo design for the ceramics atelier had to be a simple and one-color symbol, allowing it to be embossed in clay. The owner wished also for it to have a friendly and carefree spirit.
Her answer to an aptly posed question lead us to the motif of a smiling sheep, characteristic of her work. I showed the sheep en face, instead of a profile, as she appears usually, and I gave her hooves gestures of creative activity. It accounted for a highly inviting, distinctive and memorable mascot logo in the form of a seal.

This contemporary geometric linear logo reinterprets in a fresh way symbols common in the apiculture trade.

PureRein – healthy food
PureRein is a producer and distributor of healthy food. Its founder, valuing the work of designers, like Polish logo design legend – Karol Śliwka – wished for a classically simple logomark.
The created graphic combines symbols of a fork and a flower, representing food, nature and happiness. The fitting font is rounded, organic-like.
Working with the PureRein brand consisted also of designing an extensive series of packaging with hand-drawn illustrations of plants associated with the products.

Angel Pharmaceuticals – Manufacturer of Supplements for Athletes
The project brief suggested using a literal depiction of an angel in the logo. To maintain a professional look, we opted for a more symbolic representation. The emblem features the initial 'A,' forming a sharp symbol resembling simplified wings surrounded by a halo. The slight tilt in the logo adds a sense of flight and dynamism. The sharpness of the shape conveys pharmaceutical precision, while the typography is modern and professional.

HERBORG – Premium Outdoor Smokehouses
This logo project was commissioned as the foundation for the company's rebranding, without referencing the previous image. The client's brief was simple but included key style preferences: sturdiness, premium quality, simplicity, classicism, and timelessness. The preferred colors were black, white, and brass.
Even with these consice guidelines, we quickly found a fitting solution. The minimalistic logo emblem resembles the initial 'H,' consisting of a simplified fire pit symbol with flames arranged in the shape of a crown, symbolizing the highest quality.

Safe Landing – Inspections and Audits of Maritime Heliports
The theme of helipads presents an interesting challenge with a relatively narrow range of associations. We creatively utilized several of the most obvious ones.
The helipad is represented as a green octagon with a prominent white 'H' in the center, surrounded by a yellow circle. We blended these features with the initial 'S.' The overall logo shape is simplified to a green hexagonal shield, emphasizing safety. The angular and technical appearance of the letter 'S' outlines the shape of an octagon. Its symmetrical, 'rotational' appearance reflects the view of a helicopter rotor in motion from the top. The straightforward design, featuring a cross in the middle, references the style of technical warning signs, fitting the theme of audits and inspections. The sturdy, stable letter shapes underscore a sense of trustworthiness.

Rope Access Team – Rope Access Services
Rope access is a specialized technique for working at heights, and RAT provides services for industries such as wind turbines and the oil and gas sector (including offshore drilling platforms). The previous company logo featured a black mountain on a yellow square. The client liked the mountain symbolism, and the colors and enclosed shape were seen as resembling warning signs, highlighting the need for strict safety standards. For the new logo, a more professional and industrial-maritime feel was desired.
Our solution strongly emphasizes the 'warning sign' concept, using the sharp shape of a diamond. We portrayed the mountain in a simplified arrow form, with its reflection below distorted to create an image of reflection in maritime waves.

Mirarosa – Manufacturer of Plant Extracts and Ferments
The previous Mirarosa brand logo consisted of very heavy, oversized letters and a literal drawing of a rose in a basic red color. It needed not only a modern facelift but also a change in its overall character. The new design features smaller letters in an elegant font, conveying a more feminine and fashionable vibe. The rose now takes on a more abstract and intriguing form, while still maintaining recognition, especially as part of the word 'rosa'. The bold red color has been replaced with a softer shade closer to pink.

ERGONINES – data centre
This minimalistic logo is full of adequate connotations. It references the appearance of a server rack and the number 9, associated with uptime statistics. The three white stripes can be read as the initial "E". The logomark hints also at the striped IBM wordmark, iconic for the technology industry, and a charge indicator. The simplicity relates to old mobile phone interfaces, as the provided insight pointed out that tech-savvy clients tend to use obsolete phones, valuing their reliability.

Basing on these qualities and the target group (in part the automotive branch) I have referred in the lettering and composition to the aesthetics of sport cars emblems.

The Country Development Foundation
The Country Development Foundation marking the 30th anniversary of their founding aimed to refresh their image while retaining continuity with the organization's tradition.
Respecting the heritage and familiarity of the old logo we created the new logomark. It is much more readable and represents the NGO's area of activity better. In place of two cottages, dynamically arising more stately buildings appeared. We got rid of unnecessary details, enlivened the color a bit and matched more appealing typography.

Advecto – business partnership
This Polish-Brazilian company introduces businesses from Europe and South America with each other. Despite the international scope of services, the design brief advised avoiding imagery of a globe, as overused.

The image of Earth has been reduced to a circle with two slices of continents, on which Advecto operates. Their shapes, directed at each other display the mutual rapprochement of the markets, as Advecto's services result.
Round and strong lettering was chosen, matching the logo and evoking trustworthiness.

An exceptionally hasty job (2 days!). The assigned concept was to fuse a swimmer and a shark. It sounded extremely risky from a design point of view, but after some trial, I have managed to come up with a slick and classic looking solution.

Resilia – resilience consulting

All of these requirements were met by a geometric, octagonal logomark, referencing an armour plate or a boulder. The 3d-like effect, achieved with lines of different width is very uncommon and appealing.

State of the Polish Penitentiary System – national scientific conference
Prison bars are the most broadly understandable motif for this subject. Nevertheless modern penology is not about "dungeons and chains", so we gave the logomark a more abstract form.
