Our publications in book Finally the 500-page brick of a new “Identity” In has arrived to the Company’ office. We are pleased to announce that Volga-Volga experts are authors of two of the 15 matters of the book, illustrating the main directions of development of identity today. By the example of a single visual image for the Documentary Film Center, the dynamic identity case was presented by designer Sergey Vasilevsky: “… Always trying to find an essential core to build an interesting identity, which will determine how it will work, formulate the basic properties and quality of the system. This idea could be shaped later. Idea to play with the word “center”, expressing it visually, I liked more than others. So the idea of dynamic logo based on the concentric circles appeared. The system may have a variety of options and will vary depending on the context , without losing its recognition… In the future we decides to abandon the context design of circles, but these restrictions have benefited – it was created the set of characters of simple geometric shapes. The decision was born in the balance of Soviet graphics, architecture and modern minimalism. Red triangle appeared on logo, symbolizing the light of the projector. This allowed to mark the symbol unmistakably as suprematist. As a result, the graphics have become more compact, versatile and easy to use”. Detailed material in Image part tells about the practical aspects of project management of regional branding – the promotion of St. Petersburg as a tourist center. The idea of the case was built around the typical stereotypes of Russian culture and Russian reality which exist abroad, being identified in a large-scale study. As a result, traditional Russian bear was taken as a metaphor and a strong image. What challenges and unexpected moments faced the design team during the project can be found in the book: http://kak.ru/estore/books/s319/ Note: New book “Identity: Dynamics, image, typography, color, illustration and pattern” , released by “KAK” publisher, and focused on the designers of all levels. The monograph shows and analyzes the process of identity creation, and does not show the final result , as thousands of websites and publications. The book contains 15 projects with a detailed description of the implementation process (versions of concepts, sketches, notes and explanations).
