A design project by Artjoms for Balvi novads: a geometric logo, a colour palette and mockups for posters, print and merchandise.

One system across different formats.

In this design project, the geometric wordmark, burgundy palette and B-shaped image frame recur across posters, print and merchandise mockups. They explore possible applications of the identity.

01 / Visual system

The name, colour and B-shaped frame.

The geometric BALVI lettering and smaller NOVADS line form the wordmark. Burgundy, ivory, white and a dark tone make up the palette; the B-shaped frame gives photography a common outline.

The Balvi novads visual system with its geometric wordmark, burgundy B shape, DM Sans and Caveat samples, and four colour swatches.
Design artworkThe original wordmark, B-shaped graphic principle, four specified colours and the supplied DM Sans and Caveat typefaces.View image
02 / Posters and information

The image becomes part of the letter.

Two posters use photographs inside the B-shaped frame; the third is led by typography. A nature information panel concept carries the same colour and typography into a more detailed format.

03 / Print and objects

From a spread to a fabric bag.

An information spread, stationery and a fabric bag explore the identity at different scales. Text density changes, while the wordmark, palette and large colour areas connect the mockups.
