Simon is a climbing coach based in Kalymnos and Leonidio, two places deeply connected to the culture and landscape of climbing. His sessions take place outdoors, in direct contact with the rock, the earth and the animals that share the mountain with him.

The brand identity draws inspiration from this relationship with the natural environment. An earthy visual language is built around a series of illustrations depicting animals and elements encountered during Simon’s time on the mountain.

At the heart of the identity is the goat an instinctive climber and one of Simon’s most frequent companions on the rocks. Its eye becomes a distinctive element of the logo, referring to observation, focus and awareness qualities essential to climbing.

The logo and illustrations are inspired by the landscape and the experience of climbing within it.

Μια χειρονομία που μετατρέπεται σε ίχνος. Ένα ίχνος που μετατρέπεται σε οπτική γλώσσα. Η νέα ταυτότητα του Φεστιβάλ Αθηνών Επιδαύρου επιχειρεί να επιστρέψει τη δημ...

Η ΟΠΤΙΚΗ ΤΑΥΤΟΤΗΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΦΕΣΤΙΒΑΛ ΑΘΗΝΩΝ ΕΠΙΔΑΥΡΟΥ 2026 ΑΠΟ ΤΟΥΣ POLKADOT DESIGN
Η οπτική ταυτότητα του Φεστιβάλ είναι μια πρόσκληση που καλεί τον θεατή να επιλέξει για το πως θα σταθεί απέναντι στην τέχνη. Θα τον τοποθετήσει ως έναν παρατηρητή ή θα του επιτρέψει να συμμετέχει στην ουσία του έργου;
Στο βίντεο που ακολουθεί, αποτυπώνεται η διαδικασία: χειρωνακτική, σωματική, σχεδόν τελετουργική.
Εκεί όπου η χειρονομία μετατρέπεται από ίχνος σε οπτική γλώσσα, περιμένοντας από το κοινό να δώσει το τελικό νόημα.

THE VISUAL IDENTITY OF THE ATHENS EPIDAURUS FESTIVAL 2026 BY POLKADOT DESIGN
The Festival’s visual identity is an invitation for the viewer to choose how they will stand towards art. Will it position them as an observer, or will it allow them to participate in the work’s very essence?
The following video captures the process: manual, physical, almost ritualistic. It is where gesture is transformed from a trace into a visual language, waiting for the audience to define its final meaning.

The book’s diagrams are more than visuals;
they are optical proofs that transform data into arguments. By choosing what to highlight, each chart builds a case based on precision rather than rhetoric.

The cover references the early digital era, when data appeared as green light on black screens—not as nostalgia, but as a reminder that before interpretation, there is always the raw flicker of data.

Printed with fluorescent ink, light becomes both a literal and conceptual tool: diagrams illuminate information, reveal relationships, and bring forward what often remains unseen.

This approach avoids emotional rhetoric, relying instead on research and evidence, encouraging a clear reading of facts before interpretation.
