ProductIvano-Frankivsk City
DescriptionThe brief from the client:

Over the last few years Ivano-Frankivsk has been losing its architectural style due to the vigorous growth of outdoor advertising. While the government remained inactive, the city community, especially small business representatives established a public initiative to solve the problem. They set a task to create a brand new city style and to develop a style guide for regulating outdoor advertisements in Ivano-Frankivsk.

The challenges and key objectives:

The challenge was to find a symbol that will epitomize more than 300 years of the city’s history.

After weeks of research, we discovered one firm witness, a Ukrainian peasant. Simple, humble and hardworking, he was there to defend the city, or to repair the ruins. A single embroidery stitch from his traditional shirt became a visually striking and easily adjustable emblem which was combined with the architectural fundamentals of the city hall called Ratusha — the most prominent urban mark, both visually and metaphorically.
