Project: corporate style and visual identity system
Client: F2 Coworking
Task: To form a visual identity for a network of premium flexible offices operating in different locations in Moscow. It was necessary to combine a high level of service, a professional business environment, and flexibility of rental formats, creating a single brand that works equally confidently in a prestigious business center and in more democratic urban locations. The identity should be universal for interiors, navigation, digital environment, and communication materials.
Solution: A restrained and modern visual identity system was developed, focused on the business audience and the premium segment. The visual language is based on clear typography, strict compositional logic, and minimalist graphic techniques, emphasizing the professional character of the space. The identity is adapted to different formats of sites and media, ensuring the integrity of the brand and the scalability of the system as the network develops.
Form a corporate style for a network of premium coworking spaces that would not only convey a high level of service but also work as an applied system in the physical space. The identity should be integrated into the architecture, navigation, interior zones, and everyday usage scenarios, rather than existing separately from the environment.
The key task was to create a universal visual language that could work equally effectively in different scales and formats: from the logo and digital communications to the design of meeting rooms, work zones, rest areas, and space administration. The system should take into account the differences between network sites while maintaining a single visual core of the brand and the possibility of local identification of coworking spaces.
Separate attention was required to develop a graphic system that reflects the work process: the rhythm of office activities, the repeatability of actions, tools, and nuances of the daily professional environment. The visual style should support the emotional state of residents, help navigate the space, and form a sense of a manageable, comfortable, and productive work environment.
The final task was to form a detailed regulation for the use of the corporate style, which would ensure visual discipline, correct application of identity elements, and scalability of the system as the network develops and new media are added
Work on the logo began with an analysis of the environment of premium serviced offices and visual practices of the coworking market. Separate attention was paid to how the identity functions not in advertising, but in spatial and everyday contexts — inside the office, in navigation, at workstations, and in resident interaction zones.
At the concept stage, the key idea of the corporate sign was formulated as a frame and unit of space. The basis was the image of a square foot — a measure of area, reinterpreted as a universal container for actions, processes, and states. This solution allowed linking the brand not with decor, but with the very essence of coworking — the working space and what happens in it.
Further development was carried out through the search for a graphic system that could describe office work as a process. Visual metaphors of rhythm, repeatability of actions, tools, and nuances of daily activity were formed. Geometric shapes, patterns, and textures were used as a way to capture the dynamics of work and emotional states within the space, rather than as illustrative elements.
Typographic and color solutions were consciously built around a monochrome base with accent shades, which are applied in a dosed manner - for navigation, attention management, and zoning. This approach allowed preserving visual restraint and premiumness, while ensuring the flexibility of the system when working with different zones and formats of media.
All key solutions were tested on real application scenarios: from design of negotiation, kitchen, and work areas to documentation, digital environment, and presentation materials. The final system was fixed in a brand book, which regulates not only the appearance of elements but also the logic of their combination, ensuring the integrity and scalability of the corporate style in the development of the network.
As a result of the project for F2 Coworking, a holistic system of visual identification was created, designed in the form of a detailed brand book and calculated for practical application in physical and digital space of coworking spaces. The identity covers all key scenarios of interaction with the brand - from navigation and interior zones to documentation, digital environment, and presentation materials.
The corporate style was successfully adapted to different types of spaces within coworking spaces: negotiation, work areas, rest areas, kitchens, administrative and neutral spaces. The use of a single graphic logic made it possible to preserve the visual integrity of the environment amid the diversity of functions and usage scenarios, without overloading the interior with decorative elements.
The developed system has shown high scalability. The brand book provides for the variability of applying the logo, graphics, and color accents depending on the format of the media, size, and context, which allows using the identity both in large spatial solutions and in small communication elements without losing recognition.
The result of the project was the formation of a visually disciplined, functional, and sustainable identity that supports the premium positioning of the F2 network and serves as a working tool for further development and operation of coworking spaces.

The visual series of the project is built on the principle of conscious pixelation, as a metaphor for translating the natural environment into the language of data, systems, and digital models. Nature is shown here not in a romanticized form, but as an object of observation, analysis, and structuring.
Images are intentionally located on the border between photography and digital representation. The pixel becomes not a defect, but a meaningful element - a visual marker of the fact that natural processes today exist in the context of monitoring, measurements, databases, and information systems.
This approach allows:
- to emphasize the idea of digitizing natural resources,
- to visually link the environmental theme with analytics and data,
- to move away from illustration towards a conceptual image,
- to maintain the distance necessary for an official state resource.
Landscape, plant forms, and shorelines are perceived as fragments of a large digital map - behind each image, a layer of information, statistics, and observations is felt. Pixelation enhances the sense of scale and systematics, turning visual content into a continuation of the site's semantic architecture.
In result, images work not as a background, but as part of the overall concept: nature is presented as a digitized environment, under research, management, and responsible human attention. This forms a visual language in which the environmental theme is connected with technology, accuracy, and a state approach to data.
Site for FGBU "Russian Fund of Information on Natural Resources and Environmental Protection of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia"
Within the framework of the project, the design and visual logic of the site of the state organization were developed, integrated into a single system of building government sites.
The solution is organically integrated into the existing digital ecosystem, preserving continuity, regulatory compliance and visual consistency with federal resources.
The project was implemented taking into account the tight CMS and regulated architecture, where a significant part of the structure, modules and user scenarios are predetermined. The design does not "break" the system, but neatly enhances it - due to the composition, work with visual accents, typography and content blocks.
Within the allowed framework, it was possible to:
- increase visual readability and information hierarchy,
- make the interface more modern and friendly without going beyond the state standards,
- build clear navigation for different audiences (citizens, organizations, authorities),
- integrate visual images that support the environmental and social agenda.
The peculiarity of the project is working not in conditions of complete design freedom, but within a strictly regulated system. This required a precise balance between regulatory restrictions and visual quality, where each solution enhances the perception of the site without violating the overall logic of government digital services.
The result was a sustainable, scalable and neatly designed platform that:
- meets the requirements of state CRM and CMS,
- is easily maintained and updated,
- visually supports trust, status and openness of the organization,
- remains relevant with the development of content and services.
