Tempi train crash "justice" key visual

 

Art direction: Dimitris Klonos

Reference graphic design tutorial: Spoon Graphics

Many of us can't forget about the terrible train crash that happened at Tempi Greece on 2023. The accident cost the lives to many people. Until now, years after, still the case is full of shadows and justice still hasn't done it's duty, so tragedies like that won't happen again. 

At some point I was watching a graphic design tutorial  and I thought I could adapt the visual concept to an idea about Tempi. The tutorial had to do with creating a typographical portrait. 

So I chose the portrait of Justice statue. The typography part was created out of the names of the victims of the crash. The main slogan was "They ask for justice."

Client: Greek Woodturning Team

Every year many members of the Greek woodturning team gather to exchange knowledge and ideas around woodturning. This year the meeting will take place at Steni Evias. Steni is a beautiful village on the mountain Dirfi, full of beautiful maple trees and a beautiful river. So I decided to embed a hiking/mountaineering type of aesthetic for this branding project. My main key visual was inspired from hiking signs. 

Logo and business card for a Stairmaker

Art Director: Dimitris Klonos

Logo design: Dimitris Klonos

Client: Fotis Kalovedouris

On this project I had to create a logo and a business card for Fotis Kalovedouris. Fotis makes wooden stairs. I took advantage of the letter "Φ". Φ is the letter that represents the golden ratio and it is also the first letter on Fotis's name. So I created a spiral close to a "Φ" only with stairs.

My friend Kostas Annikas is a Greek woodturner and craftsman based on Kefalonia island. He creates beautiful works of art out of wood and also sells tools and accessories for woodturners.  

I used his original logo, his face, the map of Kefalonia and two really distinct woodturning tools, to create a modern logo for him.

Every year Art street 52 and Greek Woodturners team gather together and make spinning tops. The tops are then donated to a non profit organisation for a good cause. To celebrate the event they organise a top battle on which winners get small gifts as memorials of the event. 

I designed vector characters that are both fighters and spinning tops. It's a viking, a wrestler and a ninja character. It is always a lot of fun for me to design for such events.

Logo and guidelines for "Thessalia" butcher shop

Art Director: Dimitris Klonos

Logo design: Dimitris Klonos

I was asked to create a logo for the traditional butcher shop "Thessalia".

The logo is based in the aesthetics of etching in order to express the fact that the shop is traditional and has a history of many years.

I have also added elements that express the origins of it's brand name which is  Thessalia area in Greece. I have also added the basic tools of a butcher shop.

Because the logo is fairly complicated I have also created a simpler version of it, in order to cover many cases in it's application.

5 reasons to love woodworking

Art direction: Dimitris Klonos
Illustrations: Dimitris Klonos
Production: Dimitris Klonos

This is a video I created to promote my woodworking you tube channel scrap wood city.

All the illustrations are vector graphics and use colors from a color palette I chose  especially for this video. 
I wanted the video to have a retro-modern feel and this is the reason I chose this shaky effect along with film scratches effect for it. I also wanted the illustrations to be simple and kind of abstract.

I hope you like it!

Phyto Testing Services Ο.Ε. (PTS) has been established in 2011 in order to offer a range of cotton breeding and variety evaluation services.

As a result the logo and brand identity had to combine nature with science. We've used the green color of fresh leaves as the main brand color and the DNA/ growing plant symbol in order to express the brand's purpose.

The website is simple and clean in order to be easy for the viewer to navigate through the pages and find out more about the company.
