Everything beautiful is analog
Everything beautiful is analog — that’s not nostalgia, it’s a working method. We’ve spent two decades in Ljubljana making things by hand first, screen second, and the difference shows up in the work. Analog design philosophy isn’t a romantic detour; it’s where the real decisions get made.
We can’t avoid digital; it is everywhere, and not all is bad, of course, but we are focused on it way too much, staring at our phones, for instance. Just think that everything beautiful that has ever happened to you was analog.
If we ignore the romantic aspect of that claim for a second (it is a beauty, isn’t it), trust me, holding a product is way better than holding a phone. The whole process of creating a real product involves working with your hands and meeting different craftsmen (those awesome people), learning and understanding their craft, understanding limits, adapting, changing, and finally holding it in your hands, remembering how impossible it felt when you started to create one.
Even now, we are trying to get over the phone addiction and shift back to the reality we ran away from on the phone. Realizing that this claim holds more truth than I thought.

Why Branding and Web Design Must Be Aligned
Branding and web design alignment fails the moment two separate teams touch the same project without talking to each other. We've watched it happen — a considered identity system lands on a site that treats it like decoration. Branding and web design alignment means the strategy that shapes the mark also shapes the architecture, the copy rhythm, the interaction logic.
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 accident: not the weight of a comma, not the gap between two blocks of colour. Every element has a job, and we've spent two decades making sure each one earns it.
In the corporate world, there’s this unspoken rule that enthusiasm should be hidden
Corporate enthusiasm, by some unspoken rule, is supposed to stay hidden — filed away behind neutral tones and careful hedging. We've never understood that. Twenty years of design work, 80+ awards, and 128 projects later, we're still the studio that treats genuine excitement as a feature, not a liability. The corporate enthusiasm unspoken rule isn't just a cultural quirk — it's a design problem, and we treat it as one.
Slovenia the fun facts
Slovenia fun facts are rarely what they seem. The bear counts and flute discoveries are real enough — but the stories built around them, the way a nation curates its own mythology, that's where the design work begins. We've been pulling apart Slovenian cultural identity since 2004, and the gap between documented fact and inherited fiction is where the most interesting visual problems live.
Should designers code?
Should designers code? We've been asking ourselves that question since 2004 — across identities, interfaces, and campaigns where design met production head-on. The answer depends entirely on what kind of designer you want to be, and what kind of work you want to make. Should designers code is the wrong binary; the real question is how much of the medium should you understand before you hand it off.
Hell Yes
Hell yes creative approach is how we decide what to make — and what to walk away from. If a project doesn't produce that immediate, visceral pull, we don't take it. That filter, applied consistently since 2004, is the reason our work holds together as a body rather than a portfolio of compromises.
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 criteria. The results are always the same: disposable work, eroded brand identity, and a market that eventually has to pay twice.
Logo Design vs Brand Identity: What’s the Difference?
Logo design vs brand identity — we get asked to explain the difference on almost every first client call. A logo is a mark. A brand identity is the entire system that gives that mark meaning across every surface it touches. We've spent twenty years building both, and the gap between them is where most projects either hold together or fall apart.
