Branding and graphic design studio in Ljubljana, Slovenia

As a branding design studio, we've spent more than 25 years designing identities that travel well and move brands forward. We work with startups, cultural institutions, and companies across Europe. But more than that, we work with people. We believe that's where good work begins. There are 130 projects (83 logos) with 4,842 crafted images and 200,688 carefully chosen words in the portfolio. ⸻hello@vbg.si

The idea of the essays is to improve and constantly update even the written ones, hoping they will mature with age. Currently, there are 93 topics that are an ongoing exploration of short, one-minute essays and monologues about our design studio and things connected to it.

Creativity is a matter of perspective.

Same words. Opposite direction. Opposite meaning. What if the thing blocking your creativity is just the angle you're reading it from?

Things You Learn Along the Way

Craft over trends. Doubt before discipline. Bad projects before good ones. What we've learned along the way — and are still learning.

The mediocracy of number 7

Do a little trick: ask all LLMs for a number between 1 and 10. They will all say 7. Different models. Different companies. Same answer.

Claude is using your computer. Yours, Skynet.

Yes, I let Claude use my computer. Yes, I watched it open files, navigate folders, write code and do things that felt like magic. I gave it a task, leaned back, and watched the machine do the work.

Remember when you learned to spot a stock photo?

You could see it from a mile away. The same thing is happening now. We are growing up developing an even sharper instinct for what feels generated, repeated, predictable, and empty.

Why so serious?

We ditched the books, picked up a pen, and let strange creatures appear. Turns out that's not a detour — it's how branding actually starts.

Numbers can tell us what happened. Creativity helps us decide what should happen next for the brand.

We can measure reach and clicks. We can't measure instinct or taste. Here's why that gap matters more than any conversion rate.

Know Your Duty, Poet

Half the year gone, hammock by the sea — and still the same question: did I create enough? The poet's debt is never fully paid.

Every Element Has a Job

Every element has a job — or it doesn't belong on the page. That's the single discipline that has shaped our work since 2004. When purposeful graphic design is the standard, nothing survives by…

Made with AI Is the New Made in China

Made with AI design is the new "Made in China" — and we mean that as a warning, not a trend report. We've spent twenty years watching what happens when cost becomes the only design criterion. The…

Why Are We Searching for Clarity?

What I love about my job is my work.

We’re a design studio. Everything we create begins over a coffee and a feeling that something better is possible. We love the work — especially that fragile moment when it all comes into focus. When an idea stops being abstract and becomes something real. And somewhere in that process — we find joy in making it happen. We are situated in the heart of Ljubljana (Slovenia), as an independent design studio where we know that good design is for good clients.

Midva Vidva Onadva

Handcrafted packaging design requires abandoning industrial perfection for authentic variation. We shaped clay bottles by hand for Midva vidva onadva, where each handcrafted packaging design celebrates the imperfect beauty of human relationships through tactile ceramic surfaces.

Definition of a brand

Most agencies think brands are logos and colors. But what if a brand is actually the meaning that forms in your audience's mind?

We use craft in every project. Not as decoration. Not as nostalgia. As a way of thinking.

Real design happens in the messy hours before answers emerge—where ideas stop being clever and start becoming honest through actual making.
