Stick to honey -- Sára logo revised

While I proposed a more general "food" logo first, the client requested that we focus on the honey theme.

Lodgings site beta

The test version of this Budapest lodgings project is online. Thanks to Philip who really started off this project back when we were first approached by the client and Tibor Szász of Skyweb for the spark of life.

Roma research project -- layout

We have a couple of website projects in the pipeline and one of them is an online summary of a social and cultural research project on the gypsies in Hungary. I have just submitted this layout to the client, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Here's an early version which I had done hastily and having almost no information on the project at that stage -- as specifications were getting clearer, I most happily threw it away.

The colour scheme is derived from the Roma flag.

Minerva logo

I've been kindly commissioned by my friend Béla Kollár of Euroinstruments to do a logo redesign job for one of their clients. This is one of the concepts that were rejected by the client.

The logo is based on the historical iconography of Minerva, Roman goddess of craftsmanship and wisdom (and lots of other things as well). I found that most antique portrayals are rather unclear about the structure of the helmet she's wearing. It took me some researching to realise that she was supposed to be wearing a so-called Corinthian helmet, a symbol of glory and heroism at the time, tipped upward over her forehead.

Sketches: the helmet and how it could fit on the head.
