Logo
It is very important to find the voice of your bakery. Just like baking bread, our process includes a huge research and design explorations. This new identity truly emphasizes that the branding we’ve built is recognizable in the most simplest form. It is very organic, fresh, simple, elegant and tangible. BroHouse conveys two messages inside the identity: Bakery and Cafe. The dot of the “i” tends to demonstrate the ear, and the “o” tries to emphasize the coffee bean. Our execution brings both concepts together into “one-piece”. This is a simple and effective solution.
Now, the identity is attractive and it makes so much sense. Spic&Bob has reached the next level of corporate elegance, thinking that the brand identity and illustrations are great enough to be recognizable by lettering alone with no accompanying symbol to identify it.
Print
Besides brand identity, it was such a really nice and necessary exercise for us to create a substantial brand full imagine. The illustration stands up so well. We enjoy working this variety of packaging and different illustrations. Only after printing executions, we were surprised to see how nice we jumped to the next level in the branding development. For BroHouse, Spic&Bob was such a smart play. We have been brought value in the most simplest form.
With all these printing images, BroHouse creates a bakery shop who doesn’t look like other bakery printings. Spic&Bob stands out now from the bakery down the street.

Solutions
Logo
First step was to provide a unique, powerful, and relevant brand identity, that can be easily delivered on each print or web materials. And BroHouse has done a consistent brand imagine for Private Future Consulting. It’s the strategic combination of the two – rigor and creativity in the service of business growth.
The identity is a combination of two concepts: a Circle and a Square. The Circle expresses the idea of a whole wide world and getting out from the point where you were before. Besides that, Circle represents freedom, individual choice and a positive lifestyle. The intersection of the Circle with the Square means that business has also rigorosity. Our execution brings both concepts together into “one-piece”.
Overall, the identity expresses a corporate vision, sets you apart from competitors, and is a lasting, memorable, and compelling signpost for customers, employees, and shareholders.
Print
Once we finished with the logo identity, we built a detailed plan to apply on printing materials. So, BroHouse tried to convey the message, and the design concept on print. For us, it was such a really nice and necessary exercise to create a substantial design for business cards, folders, brochures, etc. We got that ‘wow’ expression and the materials look incredibly nice.

The National College ‘Alexandru Lahovari’ from Ramnicu Valcea celebrates this year 120 years of life. After all this time, the school needed a book. Therefore, Sorin Oane Ph.D. history teacher considered necessary to write a book that comes up with the achievements of the teachers and students along these years, to promote and inform students today about their illustrious predecessors. The book detailed new insights into the history of school and much more. In other words, it is a timeless book with life’s greatest moments captured perfectly by the author.

So, back to our issue, BroHouse had to design the whole book, from the covers to every inside page.

Excelez is a big event dedicated to personal and professional development, providing training sessions, coaching meetings and career counseling. It is an event where you can find valuable information to help you on your way to perform and discover your passion.
Approach
Working with Adelina Badea & Team began a year ago, when she took care of How To Web. I may consider this collaboration in this project, a kind of follow-up work started in November last year. After several discussions and meetings, we decided to help them to build a strong concept and some promotional materials that are meant to communicate in the same manner with the brand identity.
Logo Identity
We undertook a very detailed customer journey exploration to understand all the opportunities, that would help us to build a successful identity. We needed to build some elements strongly associated with the event to make it easily recognizable and also to reflect the enormous passion and dedication. The three graphics elements (stars) leave the impression of brightness fluctuations. In literature, the star is seen as ‘an elected place’, precious and also a land of desire. After we found out the concept, we simplified the symbols for a more modern and premium look. This identity comes with a valuable style, in specially with elegance and charm. It is a logo that sets aspirations and builds an emotional connection for its audience. In other words, BroHouse turned Excelez into the driver of a great image event, not just another way of packaging it.
Business cards
Our starting point was, obviously, the logo; using information provided by the identity, we created a very elegant business card. For each pearson of the team, we created a new colour to emphasize the personality and the uniqueness. The business cards design for Excelez appeared on Creattica. Thank you Excelez for being such an inspiring client!
Badges
Rollup. Poster
We wanted to create something clear and most certainly stand out from the crowd.

Now the brand identity communicates and shares some signals vision, dialogue, and a promising future for partners and clients.

Therefore, we offer a network of journalists from all over Europe to our members and access to projects dedicated to the ones passionated by journalism and communication to Romanian youngsters.
Approach
We like this organization and all that they stand for. What impresses us most about them, is that they actually had the courage to take a step like this. The previous mark was almost embarrassing, so anything that replaces it would be an improvement. After few meetings, we decided to start a collaboration, that took place in a wonderful work together.
Solution
Before we started, we asked ourselves: “How we can find a way to simplify and bring out the concept of communication?“. So, we had introduced a generic apostrophe, witch is the concept of the logo and the point of ‘J’ as well (strongly associated with writing, journalism, communication) that leaves the impression of a person’s head, obviously in an abstract and minimalist way. We tried not to fall down into a trap of stereotypes of symbols with ‘pen’, ‘ink’ so and so forth and to come up with a clever and simple concept.
We are convinced that the apostrophe mark is one of the most relevant visual symbol for a journalism organization. The mark comes with the idea that “together” they will start an effective and accessible dialogue, that makes so much sense with the ASJC’s activity. It actually has a voice now! It’s strong, memorable, refreshing and to the point.
The apostrophe mark fits perfectly to the client and we are sure that it will hold up over time.
Print Materials
Branding materials are simple and convey strong conversation. Color palette works with the icons and target audience.

Our disscutions with Sorin Manastireanu over a possible collaboration begun in 2010. In all this time we started a great friendship . In 2011 we met again and this time Sorin was more convinced about a new change. The company was facing a rather common situation: the business had grown very fast in terms of projects and customers, leaving behind one of the most important elements – its brand identity. How we did it? We invitate you to find it out by yourself.
Solution
When the work started, we’ve tried to give a huge attention to the name, that provided us the main concept. As you can see, we came up with a graphic solution that supports the concept. The symbol is a kind of fingerprint, where the labyrinth makes the ridges of skin. It’s exactly when you roll your ink-covered finger tip on a piece of clean white paper. The dominance of red was designed to emphasize the elegance and professionalism, and also to underline the passion and the desire. Labirint Media is all set to emerge with a new identity.
The symbol is very expressive and has a strong visual impact, meant to draw your attention. This logo came out with a beautiful slogan:”We are the right direction”.
Print collaterals The logo has the advantage of being easily remembered and applied. Here’s how we did it.
Mail signature
This solution, was to design a professional and a powerful corporate signature, that provides the business contact of the company.

Approach
In 2010 BroHouse delivered to Lucian Croitoru a visual identity and an original personality for his new project “Start Smart“. Beyond this we built a great collaboration and friendship. He enjoyed so much the results of our job, that’s why he couldn’t bring himself do not recommend us.
So we decided to offer him a strong identity and the other design print collaterals for FDI Top Consult.
Identity
Our creativity mission was to create something that keeps everything visually pleasing, organized and readable. When we first started the logo design, we asked ourselves: “what is the symbol that can be also intuitive, inspired and minimalistic, as well? We said “an open box“. The “box” is the concept behind FDI Top Consult and expresses exactly the field of financing and the other services that help you to gain sustainable capital for investors.
We tried to build a simple and minimalistic element, until the design won’t stop working the way it should. In fact, the challenge was to balance their personal brands with the corporate brand. Here’s how we did it.
The true test of a brand is no longer in the logo, but in the overall visual system and applications:
Business cards
Everyone loves to share his new image, because your company gets his own voice. It a pleasure to set them free. That is a business card.
Before start working, we asked ourselves how many brands can we recognize after they have been shared in a simple meeting? This the reason why the elements used in this design maintain the same brand architecture, including the colors, the sections and typography and all the others vital elements.
File Folder
Is probably one of the most well-known print material used for the event.
Mail signature
This solution, was to design a professional and a powerful corporate signature, that provides business contact of the company.

How To Web is a support organization for online entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs and all those interested in becoming familiar with the online business and technology scene.
How to Web 2010 Conference helps entrepreneurs and web professionals build better web businesses and applications, while meeting their regional and international peers. Our two days event includes key-notes on web trends and business development presented by 20 international speakers, also workshops and a great startup competition.
Approach
The How to Web team invited us to join the project and create all of their online and print promotional materials. Of course, we instantly said ”Yes!”… and got to work! We managed to create a variety of materials – online banners, roll-ups, flyers, badges etc. – that were used both before and at the event.
Take a look here at a selection of materials.
File Folder
Is probably one of the most well-known print material used for the event. We choose this design since we wanted to emphasize, promote and describe the importance of the event: for two days, Bucharest is the world- capital of the Internet. It’s a simple design with Europe’s borders that puts Romania above all the others countries. A simple line-drawing of the borders makes Romania so much more visible and important.
Info Files
The elements used in this design maintain the same brand architecture, including the colors, the sections and typography and all the others vital elements. Notice how every detail is significant and supports the message.
Notebook
We believe that it is important to come up with a friendly, simple and, most importantly, appealing cover design. For this specific project, we should thank Rene Magritte, painter, for inspiring us. His genius work is so inspiring and can fit so well with the idea that today almost everyone is web-oriented that we decided to use his concept for explaining the importance of How to Web in this industry.
Roll-up.Poster
Roll-ups are a must-have element in almost all events. An eye-catching, attractive roll-up that conveys a professional, compelling message about the product, service or event will invariably hold the user’s attention. We tried to combine the professional side of the event with a friendly design. The black background sets this apart from many other designs. We wanted to create something clear and most certainly stand out from the crowd. The result was more than we thought: not only eye catching work, but really effective and for sure sparks your interest and curiosity – which was exactly what we wanted. Obviously every material is based on the concept of the identity.
Spider
Meet all of the event’s partners and friends. Since so many organizations were thriled to join How to Web our challenge was to present them all in a visible and clean design. Here is the result!
Tip: if you take a look at most of the interviews, photos taken at the event you will probably notice this spider as background.
Badge
In a huge event such as How To Web, a badge is a a great support for both organizers and participants. We designed each card in order to clarify five different groups of people: organisers, participants, speakers, press and special guests.
Not to mention we wanted to make sure that the powerful concept of the logo was emphasized.
Bag.T-shirt
T-shirts and bags play a big part in the event. We bring you some pictures from the event.
Coffee break / Lunch break
These slides appeared on monitors and announced the public about the coffee break or the lunch break.
Stickers
Through stickers the organizers wanted to bring the event closer to its fans. All the stickers promote an idea, or a funny phrase related to the event. In other words, the good copy combined with the design was a great reminder.
Facebook profile
Facebook profile page is a place of opportunity to showcase your visual brand and possibly communicate additional information. That’s why BroHouse designed the Facebook profile really effective and fresh.
The next step was to create some images to bring people more closer to the event and also to support it by displaying one of the many banners on their blog. “Choose the one that suits you best”.
Twitter background
Twitter turned out to be a great environment to communicate with the audience and build network connections. However, even 2 months ago, How To Web didn’t have any Twitter background and it was a good time to change that. BroHouse customize the profile page by changing its background, text and link colors.

We hope they are inspiring to you as How To Web was to us. As always, thanks for reading!

Approach
Cassol Ro came to BroHouse to translate its core values into a remarkable visual identity. The company was facing a rather common situation: the business had grown very fast in terms of customers, leaving behind one of the most important elements its brand identity.
Solution
Andrei Ruse was interested in a logo that is very simple, elegant and sober. Being a company that offers an extensive range of lubricants services and fluids, the logo must communicate confidence, strength, and force. The symbol is constructed in a minimalist-abstract way. Logo radiates energy and it is not static, the circular style suggesting movement, functionality and ability to reinvent with the passage of time. The dominance of red was designed to emphasize action, dynamism, energy, speed and vitality.
The logo has the ability to be easily remembered and used. Here are some insertions.

StartSmart.ro is a Romanian web app designed to quickly and easily evaluate a business idea from the financial point of view. It addresses anyone with a business idea who want to create a quick and simple business plan and see if their idea is profitable.
How it works: based on a couple of types of inputs supplied by the user (such as employees, monthly expenses, initial investment, expected sales, etc.) StartSmart.ro calculates several other expenses such as profit tax, payable VAT and other taxes, all in accordance with Romanian law and accounting standards, and gives the user the necessary reports that determine if the business is profitable or not.
StartSmart.ro is meant to be available in 2 versions, Light and Pro, with different levels of complexity and accuracy regarding data input and financial reports.
Solution
We insisted to focus very hard on the concept of “Smart” and less on the concept of “Start”. And we did that for various reasons. Firstly, we believe that the strength of the name is obviously the second word, and secondly, the “Smart” concept is more suitable for this type of business. The character is very expressive and it has a strong visual impact, designed to get attention to “Smart” concept using a giant brain.
StartSmart.ro logo is smart, funny, easy and optimistic. It has the advantage of being easily to remember and apply.
