An Elisava identity layout built as a tight grid of color-blocked tiles, each pairing a punchy slogan or numeral set with a different bold sans treatment.

Summary

A type-driven identity system for the design school Elisava, arranged as a packed mosaic of rectangular tiles in saturated brand colors, each carrying a short slogan, numeral set, or symbol in a bold sans.

Visual description

The layout reads as a grid of unequal rectangles snapped edge to edge with no gutters. A pale gray tile top-left holds the school's name, faculty line, and social handles in small black sans. The remaining tiles cycle through brand colors: a mustard panel stacks "Me: Me: Me:", a pink-and-blue pair shows "+Future +You +Elisava" over a numeral run "0123456789.", a green tile carries a giant black ampersand. Lower tiles include a red column counting up to "High Standards", a yellow tile with "Someday Anyway / Today or Tomorrow" in red, a blue tile with "RedoRepeat RepeatResult" mixing roman and italic, and a brown tile with cream "Holistic" in oversized italic. Type weight, case, and italics shift tile to tile, but everything stays within one extended sans family and a tight color set.

Key takeaway

The system itself: a single flexible grid where each cell is its own mini-poster, so one identity can spin out endless social tiles, posters, and merch from the same color and type kit. Mixing roman and italic of one family inside a cell ("RedoRepeat") adds rhythm without a second typeface.

Reuse notes

Ideal for schools, studios, festivals, or any brand needing a high-volume, modular social and poster system. The energy comes from the slogans and color pairings, so it needs a real copy bank to fill the tiles; sparse content will leave it feeling empty. </content>
