After 6 years I decided to recreate my personal logo so that it reflects more of who I am and what I am doing here. Logo that I used since 2008 felt a bit outdated. Currently I am not sure what I meant by it, but I guess it had to do with complexity of the human-mind labyrinth. Initially I wanted to use the so called sacred geometry principles but in the end I found it would be just a pose. I realize that this geometry deeply connects not only to my body, atomic structures or everything in existence, but I also learned not to insist on something just because I like it. I decided to create something that will more reflect the person who others call Tomáš Jankó or Jankosh – this body that I currently inhabit. This logo is a certain typographic play of letters that form my nickname and it depicts the wholeness of the male and the female principles we all have. Nobody is “pure male” or “pure female”. Integration of these principles assisted me a lot in understanding of what is going on inside of me and in further expanding my consciousness. Plus, supposedly, my new logo looks like a smiley...
There is a beautiful word play going on here. Translation of the word “jednoduchost” from Czech language is “simplicity”, but word-to-word translation would be something like “one-spiritness”. Creation of this sign was an interesting challenge. Main principle of this project is to spread both “materialistic” and spiritual information and to do it like from higher perspective (that we humans lack sometimes) and – most importantly – to put things SIMPLY. Also, there is an emphasis to remind every individual of his/her uniqueness, power and responsibility and what it means to be a human being on planet Earth. Part of designing this logo was exploration of sacred geometry and certain mathematical sequences and ratios, such as Fibonacci’s sequence or the golden ratio. However, after tens of hours of experimentation I found that some designs were way too esoteric and complicated. Even though I came across some interesting designs, I ended up with two simple forms – triangle and circle. These have various spiritual meanings on their own, but main intention was to depict Unity Consciousness that will be the basis of the age we are heading to, even though it may not seem like that at...
Since certain time, Magic/Mysticism does not mean for me only stage performance, but the highest science exploring the true nature of self and of Universe. While this may not be the main focus of pair of magicians from Náchod who used to call themselves Duo Carlos, work on this logo charmed me, that‘s sure. By the way, if you’re looking for someone to do a great stage performance for you, be sure to check out their current website! Karel and Vera Kaspar not only wanted to change their pen name, but wanted me to conjure up the logo that would reflect their main branch. After looking for exotic/mystic word combinations/titles and also experimenting with new words we decided to use the name that will be clear on its own – Kaspar Magic. That laid basis for logo itself, so after many brainstormings, whirlwinds of ideas and lots of consultations we came to a final duel between the two favorites. After that we‘ve chosen the one that would right away give audience the idea that they are looking at magician‘s logo. Even though the result may look clean and simple, for sure it wasn‘t created by looking into a...
When it comes to putting trust into a web service, everything should look clear, synoptic and most importantly, trustworthy. Logo and visual style of FairList reflect clarity of credible service together with freshness that learning of foreign languages brings into play. FairList.cz is portal where you can find info about language schools and teachers and also their ratings created by real students so that you won‘t get burned when you choose the language teacher next time. Besides the logo I also create webdesign, majority of HTML and CSS and various graphics for printing and for our Facebook page. ...
Believe it or not, high school graduates are very playful and creative people, ahem 🙂 My sister‘s class asked me to create tableau for them, where they would be depicted as carricatures. I did this together with my schoolmates Tomas Jajcik and Michal Vacek. Hand drawings are combined with digital...
Work from graphic design class at Multimedia College of Arts in Jihlava. Combination of bitmap graphics, watercolor painting and ink drawing. Our task was to create a brochure about arbitrary topic and by that time I just loved the Absinthe. And I mean the real one – with old ritual of dripping icecold water through sugar cube put on holey spoon right into the Absinthe which caused it to change its colour from transparent green to milky white. The new ritual of setting sugar sodden in absinthe on fire is fabricated to boost up the sales, just like the process of creating this strange substance that has not much in common with the original recipe. Just for the record, I decided to stop using such substances in order to gain “altered states of consciousness” more organicaly. Very interesting experience to remember all the parties and feeling all right the next...
Final work for Art subject at College Of Multimedia Arts in Jihlava. Our task was to choose our favorite artist and to create some art according to his style. Choosing mr. H. R. Giger was sure choice! Initial sketch made with pencil on A4, then redrawn with tablet on A1 size and finally, silk-screen printing. I lost the original data so the picture below is photo of that final print, hence the glitches – sorry...
My attempts to create graffiti. Time span: 2007-2009. Every piece started with small sketch on paper. Top left (Monča, for Monica) and under that (Bart) were then hand-drawn with graphic tablet. Below that (Zuzi, for Susan) is recreated and rendered in Blender. Top right says “AlkoClub” and is like 2,4 x 1,8 meters big, painted with tempered colors mixed with alcohol. And the last one on bottom right (Týňule, for Christine) was vectorized in Photoshop. I just now realized that I used only yellow color for letters, that’s not much original,...
