Symbolic design studio

Last week we had the honour of receiving a prestigious Gold Award at Ermis Awards for our packaging design for Koryfo Beer 🏆✨
We’re truly thrilled and overwhelmed with joy.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and positive input from our friends at Corfu Beer, Spyros Kaloudis, and Spiros Chondrogiannis, who believed in our work from day one.

Most importantly, this project would never have come to life without the creative mastery of mavrikakis, whose immense talent translated the client’s vision flawlessly.

And of course, a huge thank you to our friend at , who brought the product to life with her outstanding 3D visualisation skills.

Last but not least, heartfelt thanks to the team at Arvanitis Labels for their patience and craftsmanship while putting up with all our quirks 😄

To many more! 🥂

OROMIA COFFEE ROASTERS branding and packaging draws deep inspiration from the origins of coffee culture in Ethiopia, particularly the Oromia region which is widely regarded as the birthplace of coffee. The logotype is a minimal, geometric interpretation of the sacred Oda tree, under which the Oromo people have historically gathered for community meetings, rituals, and governance. Packaging illustrations showcase stylized local animals from the Oromo region, reimagined through a geometric lens that bridges African heritage with visual cues from classic European and Italian coffee traditions.

Stratis Vineyards is a boutique winery and vineyard situated on the Greek island of Andros. Unlike the grandeur of the island's capital, the winery is located in the rugged southern region, characterized by a labyrinth of dry-stone field walls that delineate parcels of land among various owners. These unique Bronze Age walls meander through the entire landscape, symbolizing the islanders' deep-rooted connection to their land and serving as a vital component of their cultural heritage. Our design philosophy aimed to reflect these distinctive features surrounding the vineyard. The logotype draws inspiration from the patterns of these ancient walls while also embodying the abstract form of a wine glass, symbolizing the harmonious blend of tradition and artistry. Similarly, the labels have been crafted with this approach in mind, incorporating elements from the region's iconic schist stone buildings to create a cohesive visual identity.
