The European Interagency Security Forum (EISF) is a non-profit network of humanitarian agencies committed to improving the security of field staff. EISF fosters information sharing, dialogue and analysis on humanitarian security issues.

Taking the European flag as our starting point, we created a 12-version logo composed of various configurations in different colours. Our aim was to capture the dynamic and collaborative interactivity between the agencies that belong to the EISF network. As EISF is supported by Save the Children, we wanted the design to be playful and uplifting.

We took part in an international competition to re-brand the Greek national airline. The brief was to update Olympic Airline’s identity while retaining the carrier’s trademark multi-coloured ring symbol.

We collaborated with font experts Dalton Maag to produce a bespoke font that maintains the essence of the existing logotype, but creates a more streamlined and sophisticated look. The overall visual language was designed to complement the current symbol and colour scheme.

Almo, a leading office supplies company based in the UK, selected us to re-imagine their corporate identity by creating a new logo, stationery, packaging, and product catalogues.

By abstracting the company’s initials, A and O, into a triangle and circle we created a recurring motif that reinforces brand recognition;

so the products become a background of the visual identity. The green and black colour scheme was chosen to reflect the company’s carbon-neutral credentials, underlined by the use of recycled paper throughout all applications.

The world’s most famous recording studio invited us to develop a set of stationery and supporting material, from business cards to mugs. Using clear, crisp layout contrasted with bright, playful colours, we introduced Chromolux stock, which is glossy on one side and matt on the other, to create a subtle sense of the unexpected.

We were commissioned to develop an identity, brochure, website, building façade and wrap for a luxury apartment development in Athens. Our concept was inspired by the original architect, Constantine Doxiadis, a pioneer of information technology who developed his ideas through a grid system. Taking this as our starting point, both the ‘1’ logo and the website are composed of square grids that can be easily reconfigured.

Since the site housed the first computer in Greece, we designed the façade as a snapshot of the surrounding landscape, analysed through pixels and imprinted onto the surface of the building. We worked closely with Divercity Architects to realise the façade. The black and white colour palette evokes the timeless elegance and simplicity of the architecture.

We developed the identity for a new entertainment guide for London’s Islington and Hackney neighbourhoods, including a website and print applications. Building on the core notion of local community, we designed the logo as a series of interconnecting streets, based on a map of the area.

The brief was to name, design and animate a logo for a series of cultural and social documentaries produced and directed by the Greek Directors Guild in collaboration with ERT (Greek National Television). The name “SEE” is both a riff on the power of documentary film-making to open our eyes and a reversal of the Guild’s Greek initials “EES”.

We captured the logo within a frame like a screenshot to reflect the medium used by film directors. The animated logo will be used as the TV sting on every episode of the series.

The Forest Footprint Disclosure Project is a new initiative that aims to help corporations recognise and manage the relationship between commodities sourced from forests and runaway climate change. Just as businesses and consumers have a carbon footprint, they also have a ‘forest footprint’, which is their contribution to global warming by producing or consuming products grown on formerly forested land.

We designed a tree-shaped logo to illustrate this connection. The slanted ‘F’ represents the inroads being made into rainforests in order to develop pastures and plantations for commodities like beef, timber, soy, and palm oil.

The brief was to give this expanding architectural practice with offices in Greece and the UK a more international outlook. We designed a new website, stationery and 3D signage using a geometric typeface to suggest the solidity of construction.

We created a matrix of colour-coded symbols and graphics to distinguish different types of project and stages of completion (unbuilt, under construction, completed).

Company was selected to design the exhibition graphics and all supporting material - invitations, posters, flyers and catalogue - for the Greek Pavilion at the 11th Architecture Biennale in Venice. The winning Greek project, ‘Athens by Sound’ created an interactive map of the city’s soundscape.

The logo, a capital A for Athens, was drawn by joining the dots on the map. Playing on the idea that visitors should listen rather than look, the posters used simple typography to describe five typical Athenian sounds –church bells, screeching brakes - written in oversized letters that shout out to passers by in the street.

This exclusive business network for young executives wanted an identity that stands out from the competition.
Taking the idea of connections as our inspiration, we linked three “i” s (individual>relationship>network)
to create a tilted, triangular logo that radiates energy and movement.

The bold choice of colours reflects the dynamism of the product, while the inter-connected colours represent the transformative power of networking. Crops of the logo were used for the stationery.

We designed the visual identity and marketing tools for this exciting exhibition, performance and entertainment space in London’s Shoreditch. We used the floor-plan of the building as a core element of the identity, an embodiment of the diverse activities contained within the multi-purpose venue.

This distinguishing mark was embossed on all stationery to create a subtle, three-dimensional identity, supported by neutral typography.

Our brief was to re-brand the Greek Director’s Guild for its 40th anniversary. The new logo is a playful abstraction of the Guild’s Greek initials EES, created from snippets of film reel.

The black and white colour scheme reinforces the cinematic theme. Awarded 'Best logo' at the 2008 Greek Graphic Design and Illustration Awards.

From signage to sugar bags, we developed a distinctive identity for this modern British restaurant, bakery and delicatessen in London’s Clerkenwell district.

Inspired by traditional British values, we used simple serif typeface, and a rich gold and deep aubergine colour scheme, which was supported by an ornamental pattern, to create a look that is classic yet contemporary.

We developed the visual identity for an electronic music festival showcasing some of the most innovative musicians, producers, and DJs in Greece across various platforms and venues in London. Playing with the notion of a sonic voyage, we based the identity on an imaginary airline dubbed Hellenic Sonic Airlines, drawing on imagery from real travel documents to create flyers, stickers, posters, and a website.

This physical and metaphorical exploration of artistic experimentation in an urban landscape was further developed through posters, leaflets and a website.

The A4 flyer could be folded to create a paper airplane. The logo incorporates elements of the Greek flag, cropped and distorted to echo the theme of aural experimentation. Finalist for the 'Brand implementation' category at the 2008 European Design Awards.

London’s oldest florist, founded in 1924, asked us to create a new identity to bring this elegant, colourful brand up to date.
We decided to build on the brand’s classic British heritage, combined with a fresh, floral look that reflects the new owners’ passion for design.

Using Futura font and uncomplicated typography, we commissioned illustrator Farida El Gazzar to create four typically English flower paintings. The Hayford & Rhodes re-brand was carried through to the website, packaging, stationery and corporate livery.
