Piąty Dom
In the spring of 2023, I had the opportunity to work on a logotype and simple visual identity system for a new place in my neighborhood that was in the works. Unfortunately, in the following months some problems arose and the opening date was postponed several times. When they got back in the game, almost a year later, they decided to go in a different direction with the visual side. Unfortunately, this meant that my work went straight into the drawer. However, because I am still proud of how it looks, I decided to build a quick presentation anyway. I added some mockups and show it to the world with an “unrealized concept” label.
Giving context to the whole idea: Michał – the founder of the place – had a strong vision of how everything should look and function. Piąty Dom (The Fifth House) – as the place is called – in astrology symbolizes a shelter for our inner child. It is a destination of our joy and pleasure. Michał is an enthusiast of astrology in general and he wanted to highlight this through the visual identity. The idea sounded fresh and unique, so I was hooked! A bit dark and mystical, tarot/horoscope aesthetic served in an alternative, independent cultural way is a perfect fuel for creativity!






After creating a mood board, sketching some initial ideas and discussing them with Michał, I developed a custom logo with a mysterious feel. It seemed to be just right. It also gave me a solid background to find an outstanding typeface for the project, choose a color palette, and draw some supporting illustrations. In the sample designs (shown above and below), I also used simple geometric shapes. The idea was to create a flexible and responsive layout system that could easily adapt to the amount of graphic and text content.
