Oxus Aviation is a company that specialises in the brokering of deals between airlines and sourcing of planes and engines for their clients. They wanted a logo that would represent them, without falling into the bracket of ‘obvious airline company’. I opted to go down the route of utilising the wings of an aircraft in an abstract way. By having one arrow facing ‘North’ and one facing ‘South’ the connection to the brokering service provided by Oxus is apparent in the ‘trading’ nature of the symbol. It also offers a nice reference to the global nature of the business and that any direction is possible. It was made clear by Oxus that they wanted to use a dark blue as the main colour for the logo, I complemented this with a mid grey of clouds to give a real feel for the sky.
A mark for a sports supplement supplier called 'Stackz.' The concept was to create the letter 'S' from stacked elements.
Incorporated my initials (Daniel Janev) starting "d" from the top, looping to the "j" actually the same form in the end. Little bit in retro grunge style.
The brand name was inspired by its NZ origins, the Maori language and it pure make-up, hence the pura part of the name.
We developed a vibrant mark and bold visual language to share the unique (and exciting) story of Apura. The images evoke the purity of this product and the colour palette was picked from the NZ landscape.
New York Fish logo, was designed for any company, dealing with fish selling, or any other kind of fish food. You can see the "crown" of statue of Liberty city in NY, and illustrated fish - New York Fish.
This is a logo for a completely fictitious entity named IMPORTL, which could be an open source web development site, or some type of developer software.
The idea is that the triangular facets form a series of open holes, or "portals," in multidimensional space. The central facets can also be seen to form a cube which is open on three sides. Lying before each opening is another opening on that side's respective "floor," yet, in an Escher-like paradox, where spatial orientation is an irrelevant construct, there is no floor. There is no up, down, left, right, back, or forth. This hyperspatial environment suggests infinite possibilities for the arrangement, manipulation, and exchange of data.
For color, the idea is that the primary colors that form the central cube beget the secondary colors that rotate outward, suggesting expansion, transformation, evolution.
The mark employs a custom typeface that compliments the angularity of the mark.
