New project: Mockuuups (@mockuuups ). What began more than ten years ago as a fun side project for quickly presenting websites, mobile apps, and other digital products has become a sought-after tool relied upon by designers around the world. To ensure that the application would not be overlooked in a crowded world of similar tools and would be able to expand into other categories, it was given a new distinctive visual style based on endless combinations of generated patterns inspired by lost signal stripes, which can be easily adapted to any surface. All of this is then brought together by a new logo set in a custom-modified Inter font with swapped vowels, which turned an earlier compromise resulting from an already taken domain into a distinctive element that we used to build a fun system that automatically carries over into all main texts and messages, as well as motion design.

Nothing to see here, just me collecting all the interesting things that @footshop produced and made with my identity over the last two years. I don’t get to these identities as often as I would like, but seeing my work being used well is always a pleasure and most fun I ever have.

Presenting new @fabinicz logo which we did at the start of 2022 again with @karla_gondek . As stated before, after two years of the previous logo, the internal team came to conclusion that the visual system that was created before didn't fit the new goals that the team set out.

Not the easiest brief to replace something you've done before and was confident in, but we were asked to create something more technical, simple and futuristic, which could be used in different ways as the new team settles on direction that works for them as they still find their product design language. We've presented many versions, some more evolutionary and some more radical, but in the end we settled on this version based on great Denim typeface by @xyz_displaay with simple rounded details, that again take inspiration from the products themselves. The rounded effect is than repeated in the pictogram design, which describe the most basic functions of the pots and pans and could be used in other parts of the identity which the internal teams took over. We don't really have much other to show, since this was really only about the logotype, but we will prepare something in the future.

At the end of February, we were invited to speak at the first edition of Brand The City festival (@brandthecity.eu ), organized by Studio Punkt (@studiopunkt ) in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, which focused on city and national branding. We presented our work for the cities of Prague and Ostrava, as well as our work on the visual identity of public administration. Thanks again Studio Komplekt (@studiokomplekt ) for invitiing us again after our apparance on Melba Festival (@melbainitiatives ) in 2023 and we are very grateful for all the connections and discussions we had with everyone involved.

Ambiente (@ambiente_restaurants ) has opened three new places in the Holešovice Market, once again in collaboration with our studio. In this shared space, created by combining two buildings, a second branch of the Myšák pastry shop (@cukrarna.mysak ) and another branch of the Naše maso butcher shop (@nase_maso ) have been opened. These are complemented by a brand new restaurant and buffet by Slovak chef Tomáš Valkovič called Skô (@sko_holesovice ). All three venues are connected by a courtyard and shared seating in this space, which allows for the sharing of various gastronomic experiences.

Introducing Footshop Woman – a new sublogo and identity expanding the visual world of @footshop which builds on its original vision to be bold, different, and unexpected, while opening fresh ways to express what Footshop stands for. Designed with a custom cut of the Dash typeface by Petra Dočekalová (@petra.typo ), the new identity debuts in an exclusive in-house collab with @playboy , where it blends seamlessly with the main Footshop logo to create sharp, memorable contrasts with this iconic brand. Welcome to the Playboy Village. Check the collection here: https://www.footshop.cz/cs/8173-playboy-x-ftshp –––––– Credits:

I’ve been giving more and more talks at various events recently, whether on behalf of myself or @studionajbrt , and here are a few photos of myself from this and last year. I can’t say I don’t still get nervous or that there’s nothing to improve, but I enjoy it quite a bit and I quite like the process of putting everything in order so it makes sense.

The Izaak Reich Glassworks (@izaakreich ), founded by Adam Havlíček in 2022 on the Zikmundov (@zikmundov ) estate, continues the more than 150-year tradition and legacy of Izaak Reich, the founder of the local glassmaking dynasty from the 19th century. The first Linden collection, inspired by the shape of a lime leaf from a tree at the original glassworks, is the work of glass designer Rony Plesl (@rony_plesl ). The development on the shape of the glasses also involved the Moravian winemaker Jaromír Gala of @gala_vinarstvi . The IZAAK REICH logo, with contrasting shading of the strokes and subtle serifs at the letter ‘I’, is complemented by the symbol-slit IR, inspired by the foot of the glass, which also adorns its stem. The Untitled Sans sans-serif font by @klim_type_foundry and hot stamping in the colour of molten glass underline the high quality of this small glassworks. The visual style is consistently reflected in the functional and eco-friendly packaging designed by Jan Činčera (@studio_cincera ), the company’s printed materials, leaflets and certificates, right through to the bespoke e-commerce website.

Introducing the new Avenga (@avenga_global ), a leading technology company, we’ve worked on extensively for many months. At the heart of the new logo is a distinctive loop, symbolizing the powerful, dynamic connection between client and a problem-solver. It also nods to the Spanish root of the word “venga,” meaning “go,” reflecting their commitment to technological innovation. The new identity also marks the unification of two strong players – Avenga and Qinshift – into one cohesive brand, amplifying their shared vision and technological expertise under a single name.
