Two years ago, I started my very first personal branding project.
The idea was called City Compass a concept for my hometown, Veliko Tarnovo, one of Bulgaria's most historic cities.
The vision was bigger than just a logo. I wanted to create something that could help the city grow but I quickly realized the vision was much bigger than I was ready for at the time, so I left it for the future.
Looking back, I still love where it began.

wow! love it! π
First, your city will be proud of you. You have successfully managed to combine many elements in 1 icon in the most elegant way ever. A castle, a knight on horseback, a compass, a river. Everything blends in harmony and composition! Only with 2 colors!!!

Wish you all success! π

Impressive
One thing I've learned is that ideas sometimes need us to grow into them, the vision wasn't too big, it was just ahead of its time. Revisiting it with two more years of experience could produce something completely different.
Love the concept, one goat for this concept!
This is so amazing!

I'm currently working on a website that focuses on data, with minimal imagery and a clean, linear branding style. My question is: is it better to alternate the blocks frequently, as in the version on the left, or to make most of the page blue? π€

Brand in a week for Stripes x Dots - a children's brand that creates bold, simple tools to help little humans understand big feelings and navigate everyday moments with confidence.
The design challenge was building a visual world that could make emotions feel approachable and joyful - something toddlers are drawn to and parents actually want in their home. Bold type, expressive emotion icons, and a playful-but-purposeful aesthetic carried across every touchpoint - completed in just a week.
The full suite spans brand identity, emotion cards, and stickers - a cohesive system that makes big feelings feel a little less big.
