The rebranding of Russia’s tourism board
It is merely the first time we see adequate attempt of applying some identification to the most unpredictable and trending country in the world - mother Russia. "A team of five designers has created a new brand identity for Russia’s tourism board, using a logo that references the country’s cultural history and geography. Employing the aesthetics of Suprematism, an art movement coined by Russian artist Kasimir Malevich that featured abstract compositions of bold geometric shapes, the logo uses such shapes in the form of a map of Russia. An important, avant-garde era of Russian culture, not least thanks to its ties to the revolution, the design team says it used Suprematist techniques because – in its time – it “personified advanced thinking” in the country, and is still associated with Russia around the world." says It's Nice That
The idea behind main "centres" of Russia
The design team comprises Vladimir Lifanov, creative director of branding agency Suprematika; Ilya Lazuchenkov and Yegor Myznik from branding agency Plenum; Denis Schlesberg, ECD at agency Artonika; and Erken Kagarov, art director at design firm Art Lebedev Studio.
The new brand identity was selected via competition within Russia, to which anyone could apply. From 480 logos and 600 slogans, 30 were developed and ten presented for public vote before a jury selected the winner. You can see these shortlisted designs here

BROSMIND: Working With a Brother
OFFF Festival residents BROSMIND is a creative duo of brothers Juan and Alejandro Mingarro. During his childhood, Juan and Alejandro already formed a prolific creative pair that could be considered as the germ of what is now its visual and conceptual universe. This fact personifies the essence of Brosmind, and is of great importance both in the contents that generate and in the mechanics of work.
To make a retrospective of their work BROSMIND ran the exhibition "Working with a brother" this year. The retrospective reflected on the importance of the fraternal bond that exists between the brothers and described how the present work can be considered an extrapolation of the childhood creations.
From Colors to None by Leonardoworx
In the creative industry, we are overwhelmed by abstract CGI animation, most of the times made using presets, most of the times without a concept.
FROM COLORS TO NONE is a research about 3 human steps through colours. Each step is represented by a basic geometric form: A circle, a square and a triangle. The circle is humanity, Square is coherence, Triangle is relationships. Nowadays, these 3 aspects are, day by day, chocked by our digital routine. Sometimes we feel like swimming in the sand, blinded by powder. But when it seems all black, we try to survive and research for a new balance. So we build our Color Machine from none. Cause, maybe, from none we come… and our life is 100% colourful :)
