Leonardo is the German market leader in gift items and glasses and one of the most popular glassware brands in Europe.

Together with the Leonardo team I worked on their identity which includes a new logo using their known cloud image to become an iconic symbol for dynamics, inspiration and lightness. Check it out on my portfolio website.

I flipped through my black books and dug out some old graffiti sketches from the years 1999 to 2001.
