Logo
Logo is a metaphor for a piece of cloth with a bottom bent edge, local choom (nenets house) with a nice smart way to show the diagonal oriented local pattern. As always, there had to be a set of variations for all kinds of sizes and quality, because sometimes you need it embroided, either way you need it displaced in a piece of reindeer leather.

Nenets culture mentality is in ornamentality, so we had to follow that traditional belief in graphic design, as well.

Squares on 45 degrees
Special rule was invented for photos showcase: all the frames are square shaped and turned 45 degrees. That makes them outstanding in any other gallery. That came from the nenets ornaments that also tend to have many same diagonal module structure.

Pattern
Pattern consists of images of old friends, who came from the Nao map, which was created half-year before Narey identity.
Mixing up elements from the neighboring projects is important inside a cluster design development. You put one project inside another and make it more memorable, friendly and interpenetrating

Web
Web layouts were designed, but not yet realised due to complicated lack of sufficient funding as of 2023 and sufficient qualified web developers across NAO arctic wastelands.

Website used to be a shop, mostly, with account information. As I see now, too complex solution for a small business.
Web layouts for both desktop and mobile
Reality
Olga is always there with her new personal identity: both on exhibitions, fashion shows and fishing.
More to find on Narey
I was aware to ask anybody to make all this work for me, but the Asmysl team. There was always a risk to descend into the overwhelming ornamentalism and I wanted it to look related to the minimalism trend
