Branding, identity &
packaging
A sign, logo, brand, or however we name it,
requires a defined environment, used to send
messages that will always be communicated by the
same visual language. Corporate identity
provides you with a consistent visual
communication.
Interaction design &
user experience
We have gained rich experiences about how
to plan a real user-centered design, so we can
ensure an user-friendly information architecture
design, interactions, market-oriented features,
and together with our reliable partners, we also
arrange website, service or app implementation in
accordance with the latest standards.
Product design
Products can be gifts. They can be an object you
purchase at a shop. They can be manufactured
in large or small quantities. But they all have one
thing in common: we want their users to love
them!
User interface design
Do you understand how the software that drives
your computer or mobile works? What about
hardware? Don’t worry. Neither do we. And that is
our advantage in user interface design. Ordinary
users design user interfaces for other ordinary
users. Because we understand as much as they do.
What
We Do
Hi, we’re Kontrastika,
a design and user experience
consultancy.

5. ...we are curious
It is our belief that a close relationship with you,
our client, can bring us all success. That is why we
love talking with you. Yes, we are curious. We wish
to work for your organisation, just as if it was ours.
We want to know it “from the inside”, together
with its people, services, products and gossip.
...we are innovative
Since your organization is also ours, we like
suggesting new ways and solutions. We try
to “sniff out” the challenges you might face
beforehand, and suggest our joint solutions for
them in time.
...we are responsible
We take our work seriously! Even though it might
sometimes not seem so. And – best you learn
of this now – sometimes we take it very, very
personally.
...you are our client.
Yes, you. We would like to be a part of your team.
Because we believe that you are as innovative
and creative in your work, as we are in ours.
Because we believe that you believe in the power
of curiosity at least as much as we. And because
we believe that you wish to stand out from the
competition and infuse a sense of freshness in
your environment, a sense the others have not yet
tasted.
Yes.
but...
Well, there are thousands similar
design firms out there, right?

Orca Logo
Orca is one of the leading
European heat pumps and other
green energy heating systems
manufacturers. The whale kind
which gave us the brand name
is a synonim for nature but in
the other hand it is probably
one of the most overused
symbols in design world. Thus,
the challenge was how to create
a visually appealing logo of orca
which will be clearly different
from all other orcas on the
planet.

Štajerski avto dom Visual
Identity
Štajerski avto dom is the place
to take care of your car. They sell
them, conduct roadworthiness
tests, and provide servicing. The
essence of their communication
is not mere testosterone-fueled
HP and torque worship, but the
comfort and satisfaction of their
customers. We had to design
a logo that had to be robust
because of the way it is used,
but also carry the message of
friendliness and comfort. So we
designed “our heart and our
wings”

There’s a legendary story about
one of those antique computer
systems that took up whole
floors of office buildings. Once
upon a time one of them broke
down because bugs made a
nest inside the machine. Since
then, in the IT world, the word
“bug” means an error. Dopinus
is not a new type of insecticide.
It’s a brand for a state-of-
the-art computer application
development tool. A tool used
by programmers for eliminating
bugs, or making sure that they
never even happen.

Corporate Identity
The idea for a logo started
developing already when he
announced the launch of his
company, a year prior to the
actual launch. The logo is based
on a completely nonstandard
reduction of the letter M and its
connection with the letter i. An
unusual ligature gives the logo
a completely unique identity,
which clearly differentiates the
firm from the scales, paragraphs,
classicistic or even baroque
monograms, and other visual
junk, usually owned by lawyers.

Squareknot Crowdfunding
Platform
Lately crowdfunding has
become a very popular way
for companies to raise capital
without involving banks, which
are lending less as a result of the
global financial crisis. Yet it is
precisely in times of crisis when
companies most need funding,
whether to finance and launch
a new idea, or to completely
rethink an old one. Squareknot
is an innovative crowdfunding
concept, combining equity,
loans, and rewards. It is the first
company of its kind in Scotland
and targets already existing
companies, as well as start-ups,
throughout te UK.

The client chose to divide their

We designed it to emphasize

that the difference between
the Unique permanent colors
and the, say, semi-permanent
Senseo colors is more
obvious. Subbrands gained in
recognition, and it also makes
it easier for hairstylists to find

we designed the motif of a tree
with “trimmings” – a child on a
swing or a children’s bicycle. We
used this motif for decorating
Si.mobil’s shops, the text
message greeting card all their
users received, and, as a smaller
present for partners, a puzzle
of a tree that can be used as a
post-it station. For colleagues,

Brochures
The corporate identity of Ius
Software and its brands Ius-
Info (on-line portal for legal
information) and FinD-Info
(on-line portal for financial
and tax-related information) is
much more complex than for
most companies. Instead of
just one sign or a logo, there
is a whole system of brands.
Each of the brands has its own
characteristics (alongside the
sign and the logo, for example
also color schemes), and all of
them also have a whole series
of common elements. With this
“different sameness” all the
brands and applications they
appear in, become individual
members of the same family.

krat Zelencje živel v vasi z imenom Škratja vas.
Bila je v gozdu, ki je bil največji in najtemnejši na celem svetu.
V gozdu z drevesi, ki so bila višja od najvišjih evkaliptusov v
Braziliji. To so bila drevesa, ki so rasla že od samega začetka
sveta. In na majhni jasi sredi tega gozda, je bila majhna Škratja
vas. In v Škratji vasi so živeli škrati, ki so bili vsi navadni škrati.
In poleg teh škratov je v mali hišici živel tudi škrat Zelenc. Z
velikimi kremplji, še večjimi nogami in največjimi ušesi.
s svojo mamo, ki ga je vzgajala, kot je
najbolje znala - kot pač mame vzgajajo svoje otroke. Zjutraj
mu je pripravila zajtrk in ga vodila v škratji vrtec. Tam je imel
veliko prijateljev. Vendar pa, bolj kot je odraščal, vedno bolj se
je zavedal, da je drugačen od drugih. Ne le zato, ker je bil zelen,
ampak tudi zaradi neznanske želje po branju vseh mogočih
knjig in revij iz Škratje knjižnice. Preko njih je spoznaval
pokrajine in dežele, kjer so živela čudna in strašna bitja, ki
jih v Škratjem gozdu ni bilo. Začel je odkrivati nov svet, ki se
mu je zdel drugačen in tisočkrat bolj skrivnosten od največjih
skrivnosti Škratje vasi. Videl je ogromne pajkom podobne
živali s sto nogami, rakovice s petimi kleščami, kosmate slone
in medvede brez krzna, majhne
žuželke z ogromnimi krili, ptice
brez peruti in ribe, ki so lahko
preživele na kopnem. In
vendar ni v nobeni knjigi
našel niti enega škrata, ki
bi bil tako zelen kot on.
