Bored Panda reached out to Kostya to learn more about his creative process and journey. The artist shared that he has been exploring graphic design for about a year and a half. "I was always fascinated by retro graphics, so one day I decided to try creating something myself using an online graphics editor. I really enjoyed the process, so I got Adobe software and started learning every day."
When designing a logo, Kostya almost always begins by drawing inspiration from the 1980s. "Once I have a solid idea in mind, I begin digital sketching in Illustrator. After a couple of hours, when I’m happy with the design I bring the vector file into After Effects to animate it."
A good logo stays relevant and memorable over time. Kostya believes that fun, creative, and colorful designs—especially from the 1980s—capture this timeless quality. "I think a timeless logo is fun, creative, and colorful. I’ve seen so many incredible 80s logos and I honestly don’t understand why companies got rid of them."
Looking ahead, Kostya shared that he would love to work with major companies like Google. "However, really I enjoy working with any brand that wants to give their logo a retro touch."
