An innovative idea, the need for something special in combination with their aesthetics, contributed to the creation of a special space. The versatile character and the Italian philosophy of Vermuteria Ristorante meet the Greek culture, creating an environment that harmoniously coexists the classic and the modern. The goal, was a trip to the aromatic world of Vermouth and the Italian flavors. Our design around the druid branding was based on the Celtic tradition that is inseparably linked to the oyster philosophy. We created a brand clearly influenced by the typographic principles of Celtic tradition, wanting to attribute all this magical atmosphere. The connection of Celts to the Italian tradition begins with the colonial policy that finds them settling in Turin and translating their racial and cultural characteristics.

Creative Fields: Concept, Logo Design, Branding Identity
As lovers of street wear, we have taken the challenge of implementing the idea of ​​a business that could compete against the big retail stores. The name of the business came from the store’s headquarters address number and around it a well-rounded plan was conceptualized. This plan included the design of a brand, followed by an urban marketing campaign, social media marketing as well as the complete development of an e-shop.
Knowing the adversities we encounter in a small business in this sector in Greece, we have created an idea to showcase the philosophy and values ​​of the business around clothing. We have designed a friendly and intimate brand that will not feel at all like the impersonal design profiles of retail businesses of street wear. Of great importance to the success of this brand and to the expansion of the company itself were the ideas of customized products, with one of the most notable: a bag with illustrations which were designed entirely with traditional methods (pens, rapidographs etc).

Elixirion’s design has been mostly based on strict lines of creation. The project was such, that there was no possibility of getting away with innovative concepts. We relied on the form of a traditional bottle, like the one we usually see in the oldest depictions, that contained the elixir.
The use of the above form in horizontal and full marks provided the symbol of the cross, which is a necessary legal framework for the field in which we worked. Elixirion was painted in the shades of the green relatives of the industry and we chose to move in a very clean and strict font.

He is considered the most successful hip-hop artist of the last decade in Greece. His releases count millions of views on youtube and has occasionally appeared with huge names of world industry such as Lana del Ray etc. His presence, be it big festivals such as the rockwave and the riverfest, to central Athens scenes is accompanied by huge attendance, long-term performance and explosive energy. His lyrics are both satirical and sensitive alloy with many social extensions and the more caustic references. When we were asked to design the campaign for his new album called Oceans, we decided that it was crucial to design a series of works expressing the contradiction represented by Iratus. The final painting we created for his cover was considered the ultimate reversal for a hiphop album in 2017. The creation of the hard copy layout was based on the same philosophy with a small painting insert. We also decided that the album of its own was to be adorned with its own logo, which could be also used for merchandise, making it unique in comparison to the older Iratus releases. Enjoy!

After his departure from the historic band “”Closer””, Yannis Kambouropoulos forms a band of great musicians and together they create the first album of Kamp called “”Reappear””. Kamp’s second independent record label finds the band in full inspiration, presenting an album that oscillates between classical rock and psychedelic music with truly innovative suggestions while combining past references in the most imaginative way. After extensive scouting Kamp ended up giving their rebranding and designing the Clairvoyance cover assignment to Loft D’art.
The truly alternative and abstract Philosophy of Kamp music has led us to design a logo that would duplicate these two values ​​in the most powerful way by balancing them with the use of strict lines. The pseudo-3d Kamp flag with the simple typography was followed by the cover design. On the cover there is a flower that escapes from the narrow edges of the frame, so we want to emphasize the so intriguing title of the album (Clairvoyance). This ability of anticipating the future, breaking the principles of time and space and liberating the mind from material reality inspired us to create the cover. The layout is based on a series of quotes that we have isolated from various lyrics by converting them into self-contained texts that have embellished the inside of the booklet.

After a decade and hundreds of live shows, platinum recordings, participations in events across Europe and repetitive radio successes, Vegas trusted Loft D’art to renew their visual identity and design their new merchandise campaign.
The band that established Pop-urban culture in Greece was looking for a brand that could represent its new innovative ideas and the strictly foreign-language song shift in order to expand their audience in the world music market.
The design was influenced by the eccentric character of the band and its controversial philosophy, while the number of members (3) was emphasized by the isosceles triangle that is presented with the letter V. We thought that adding the G – the second consonant in the name of the band – will yield the overture that represents the band from the first day of their formation.

The logo we created was based on the double M being the dominant consonant that repeats itself in Em.ma’s name. The double M was designed in such a way as to refer to female hair and a combination with the heart and the horns ends up giving the shape of a female head. This has been done to point out, in a most extreme way, the two situations of female thinking that are a basic element of adult pop main theme.

Project Objective: Hip-Hop Artist
Fields: Logo Design
Mc Yinka is born and raised in the center of Athens. He is an established artist based on the African-American roots of the hiphop, and at the same time engaging many musical cultures in the process of his creation. His involvement with various bands makes him a multi-faceted artist who balances between MC with political speech, performer and hypeman in big shows and a bassist in new funk bands. His most prominent quality, that of the MC, places him in between of the creators who have the fist to talk about issues such as racism, xenophobia, alienation and struggle in the urban landscape.
He is a real multicultural artist who does not separate the creator’s role from the human being and is always there to Β«represent the vibrationΒ». The title of the new MC Yinka campaign is more representative for him and for us a lyric. Through an abstract and minimal aesthetics, we designed a sign that refers to an African mask that vibrates like a tuning fork, while underlining its roots and the continuous flow of energy that characterizes its work.

Our design wrapped the above-mentioned project by developing the owners’ idea in the visual communication of the riverside studio. We designed an R based on calligraphy where S as its natural evolution is attributed to a reverse aesthetic to highlight the opposite and different view of the two musicians around the issue of music creation spaces. Playing with the curves and the symmetrical layout of the prints attributed the professionalism and prestige of the Riverside studio space and creators.

Designing branding for an accounting office may, for some, look like a procedural and common application of visual communication rules or translate into an innovative and subversive withdrawal of the existing market trend. The subject itself, essentially having very specific principles and possibly limited creative references to the field of design, is likely to complicate our work. However, our approach was focused in realizing the dream of a new entrepreneur with a willingness to create, than an existing atherosclerotic line of design for similar businesses. Taking into account the need of the season for fresh ideas as well as the excellent Triangle naming, we set up a signal with minimal principles ending up with the triangular symbol created by the bars you may encounter in mathematical, accounting and statistical studies. We stayed colorfully in very basic shades of gray and created a typographic combination based on cropped lettering techniques that dominate contemporary design over the last five years. The overall depiction of this signal created a combination of robustness, professionalism and a fresh approach to the design of the accounting industry.

Contemporary awards and world renowned critiques make it one of the most important destinations in the Caldera area, in Fira. For many years Idol’s terrace hosts the world’s most prominent celebrities who enjoy the beautiful sunset view and the unique creations of the finest Greek chefs.

The difference with the companies that have trusted us in the past is that Uppealliant produces and markets only four of its own brands, which mainly operate as exportable products while being channeled to the domestic market as well. Our experience in the clothing industry has resulted in the entrepreneurs in assigning the project to give us the absolute freedom to create starting with the “”Built From Scratch”” logic. When we were asked to create the above brand we started as always recognizing the clear and powerful features of the product. Our study of naming was based on the existing design of the garment and the excellent quality of the raw material. We were asked to shift the interest of the existing targeting group from a ratio of 70-30 (men – women) to the desired 50-50. We’ ve ended up to the name Uppealliant (which is the alloy of the words Up & Appeal & Brilliant) through which the properties of a truly unique, worthy and memorable brand are observed. The design of the signal, taking into account its implementation sessions, was entirely based on a typographic study which sought to become identical to the values ​​of quality, elegance and robustness (resulting from years of experience). The characters used in naming except for their sonic gravity were also extremely helpful in the design part. We created a Typography Logo that moves strictly in the context of contemporary minimal design with a particular feature of the cropped lettering. Finally we have isolated U as the initial letter by adding an arrow to denote the “”rise”” and can be used in applications where the space is limited.

The philosophy of the owner when it comes to choosing fashion brands for Inbox refers more to a sensible boutique than to a residential apparel business. Brands that Inbox houses come either from established premium clothing companies abroad or from emerging startup companies that are already starting to excel in Europe and America because of their interesting designs. Unique pieces, exceptional people with real love for clothing and great aesthetics, combined with a beautiful space make up the secret of Inbox’s success.
The assignment of this project was a challenge, as the word Inbox, or any other word that has the word β€boxβ€ inside, has been used to a large extent in the past years. Loft D’ Art wanted to create something completely different than the designs used in similar cases.
We were interested in the design of a logo that would have a dynamic presence and the prestige to be a real symbol that could as well be associated with a premium concept, regardless of the subject or product. We chose to use minimal design aesthetics and created a complex form that includes all the characters of the word inbox. Finally, we relied on black and white to highlight the elegance of the brand.

The conception of the idea of ​​creating a space for a bakery within the preserved area of Plaka, in Athens, has prompted us to come up with a name that would highlight the glamor, prestige and sophisticated architecture of classic lines – which have clearly been influenced by the architectural style of ancient Greece. The chosen name Pantheon House comes from the ancient Greek word β€Ξ άνθεονβ€, which means β€all godsβ€ and was applied earlier to the homonymous religious construction of Rome: Pantheon, a temple to all the gods.
Our design thinking guided us to create a symbol inherent to the aesthetics of Plaka and the lifestyle and values ​​that accompany them. Furthermore, influenced by the construction of the 2nd century AD on Piazza della Rotonda and its architecture, we based the original letter β€Pβ€ on the structural design of the entrance of the existing Roman Pantheon.
The addition of the letter β€Iβ€ into the symbol, allowed us to illustrate the louder sound of the name (the Greek letter β€Ξβ€). This also gave a curvature to the logo that brought it closer to the aesthetics of our time. The color palette completed the character of the brand by giving the final touches to the canvas of the creation of Pantheon House with the imposing gold.

Our proposal on the name of the business was largely based on the increasing use of American words and phrases in our country, which has grown enormously since the internationalization of art and social media channels. We took into consideration that naming the business this way would be a huge benefit regarding the recognition of the brand through the hashtags and check-ins in social media and, ultimately, this would make it easy for the customers to use such a memorable, eccentric but also world-famous name.
The logo design of Hustler was based on a set of symbols that characterize and highlight the concept of β€Hustlingβ€ world-wide, since the beginning of the last century. Through the combination of H and S we formed the concept of the dollar, while through the form of a hatched hat, we defined the traditional mafia guy (who was the first Hustler).
