March 16, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Branding, Russia, TOP 2015

St.Petersburg branding studio ESKIMO designed a modern face of the B.O.I.D Journal writing about the best worldwide identities and graphic designs.

"Our proposal takes inspiration in the legends of the dragon who guards his jewels in a dark cave. B.O.I.D’s logo is based on traditional European heraldic dragon images but stylised by adding sharp edges and little angularity common for cave stones. The idea of the hidden and guarded gold was implemented by designing triplex business cards (black-gold-black) and small gold accents applied to other mediums using foil block stamping technology. Each new journal project corresponds to a golden coin in the dragon’s treasury."

Russian artist Uldus Bakhtiozina (Facebook | Instagram) has been mentioned by worldwide media since her last talk at TED (and BBC) but long before this we were happy to have her on our local Saint-Petersburg Behance Meetup in 2012. Apart from her previous provocative photography series, she went a bit further. Uldus reinterprets traditional Russian Tales in her photos by focusing on the pagans roots and ethnography of Russia. Her works are thoroughly detailed and immersive, and are based on comprehensive research and comparison with Euro-Asian mythology. The artist pays special attention to her ambivalent interpretation of the symbolism hidden in legends and myths.
