Cooklyn in Brooklyn
"Looking at the visual identity for http://aruliden.com/work/cooklyn, a Brooklyn restaurant specializing in "micro seasonal cuisine," is like wandering into a 19th-century warehouse inhabited by cowboys and cleaned by Mary Poppins." says FastCo, and we can't disagree. This "authentic rustic chic" design system built by Aruliden is something to study or collect as an inspiration for further projects.

Voyageur du Temps Bakery Identity by Character
You may know that a half of success for any design project is its showcase. Another quarter is a story like this: "An old railway station in Los Altos, California, has been transformed into this exquisite new bakery and café by local entrepreneur Rie Rubin, with the help of the creative people at San Francisco-based design agency Character. Named Voyageur du Temps, which means time traveler in French, the café seeks to preserve the time-honoured art of baking by adding a dash of contemporary life to it. Here you will find freshly baked artisan breads and pastries, as well as a variety of courses that give a playful wink to continental breakfast staples like the Croque Monsieur and crepes with fresh fruit."

Saint Petersburg City Logotypes
Who said it will be easy? To create logotype for the city like Saint Petersburg is like to direct a play of "Lady Macbeth" or "The Master and Margarita". Everybody knows it but nobody got close to it, dead or alive. The city identity requires a lot of everything: starting from a very complicated history ending with citizens that has a lot of doubts and bits about living here. To understand the city as someone said you must "drown" in it, or it will spit you outside or even leave you dying. Literally, Saint Petersburg has a lot of faces, and everyone who gets here see its own face. So let's check the three version of Saint Petersburg City Logotypes.
1. Unknown Pitch
The first one is said to be done by Moscovian (sic 1!) design studio "Art.Lebedev", but it is not approved. Please take this in consideration while studying the logo. First posted on German website (sic 2!), it spread across Russian web with a lot of doubts over iconography and some typography issues.
2. I Love SPB
Done by initiative group lead by Ruslan Chernobayev (St.Petersburg Design Week) and talented illustrator Alex Andreyev and supported by BCA Agency, ILOVESPB is a next pitch to have pros and contras. The logo has a personal website http://ilove.spb.ru/ and hope has a long journey to be real.
3. Yakushev Design Studio Pitch
The third pitch is again from Moscovian studio of Yakushev Branding has a good typography designed by Ivan Gladkikh and lemon-faced trend of "generic" logotype, that we'll leave on your consideration. Personally, this project is a good moodboard and research of possible graphic design trends, but hardly represents the Saint Petersburg City itself.
Meanwhile please enjoy the beauty of the city in different timelapse motions we collected all this time
Gorky Park Ice Cream Identity
With the nostalgic flashback to Soviet epoch designer Anastasia Genkina and art director Misha Gannushkin have created these beautiful branding and packaging designs for Gorky Park ice-cream, which are also shot in a fantastically playful way by Grigory Sobchenko.
“This ice-cream has been a treat inseparable from a walk in the Moscow Gorky Park for decades. It`s special taste of creamy vanilla and waffle cone became a memory of childhood for several generations, and it has remained true to the old fashioned recipe. The aim to connect the historical value with modern recognition through design was achieved by developing patterns, inspired by key symbols of the Park`s life. Each pattern corresponds with one of the six flavours.”

Dressing The Screen identity
Bilingual Identity for a new international British Council exhibition Dressing the Screen: The Rise of Fashion Film. The work has been created by a Moscow-based trio of young designers Roma Lazarev, Kir Khachaturov and Vladislav Poliakov and recently won the Yellow Pencil at D&AD 2014 New Blood The basis of our concept is a well-known optical effect animating static images discovered in the early XIX century by a prominent English scientist Peter Mark Roger. Today it is mostly known as “motograph” or “scanimation”. This breakthrough played a significant role in the history of filmmaking. Inspired by the “motograph” effect and experimental photoworks by a great fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld, we created a special font and developed a system reflecting the high-fashion and moving image nature of the exhibition and reminding of the pioneering role that Great Britain played in the development of fashion film.
