Awesome Regina, the curator of all the creative things in Monchegorsk
We've tuned up her graphical language a bit during the rebranding of the whole Monchegorsk Development Agency, which we had to move closer to the town brand. We haven't touched the recognizable design, yet put it gently inside the oval bed and covered with the soft and round typographics. This approach not only left her projects recognizable, but also put them in a single row with other town brand activities.

Art objects info plaques
The most important was to design info plaques that won't clutter up the visual excellence of scuptures with too vivid design, so the tablets stay clear and discreet.
