A-Moloko by Ermolaev Bureau

Clever identity gets clever prizes. Ermolaev Bureau was among 4 Russian names rewarded by European Design Awards 2012. Designers Vlad Ermolaev and Olga Balina (designer behind our DCMAG logo and cover design) won Gold in Identity for "A-Moloko" project.

This visual identity developed for a company selling milk through a chain of milk vending machines. The logo concept was suggested by the name of the chain: Automated sale of farm fresh milk. The first letter 'A' which when turned upside down resembles a cow's muzzle was taken as the basis. Visual identity is built on a system of symbols that show the path of the milk from the cow to the consumer.

Sucker by FIRMA

Still controversial culture of the lollipop was fuelled by FIRMASTYLE's Sucker concept in 2008 and now smashed by its production. A series of 5 Suckers is available for every taste and color: Mr. Pain with a taste of blueberry, Abuse with a taste of watermelon, Trinity with a taste of strawberry, cherry and banana, Cherry Twins & Chocolate Asus. A good sense of humour like this can literally save internet from porn invasion.
