Brand Identity for Future Future, a moody & contemporary restaurant

Fun story that is making the news lately, the original Blade Runner movie was released back in 1982 but here is the fun fact. The movie was set in the imaginary world of 2019, therefore in a few weeks we will ACTUALLY be in 2019. It's pretty cool to relive how they envisioned the future back in the early 80s.

Brand Identity for Mikron, a leading microelectronic enterprise in Europe

Happy Monday gang! Let's check the work from Freshblood Creative Services, a creative studio based in Moscow, Russian Federation. They recently released a brand identity project they worked for Mikron, a leading microelectronic enterprise in Europe.

It's a nice look but I think where this is getting interesting, it's the inspiration welcomed for the quality of the print.
