final version
The first digital draft of the logo was square and lacked the ornaments inside the glass. As the design process evolved, numerous changes were made, and some ideas were discarded. The first major modification, which remained unchanged in the final version, was transforming the logo into a diamond shape.
Another concept was to incorporate pixels, inspired by the event’s motto, “Handmade in the Digital Age.”
Delving deeper into the session’s theme, the event aimed to highlight the risks of over-reliance on AI, which could overshadow the beauty of human touch. One proposed idea was to make half of the logo appear AI-generated. However, in the final design, digitalization was scratched in favor of preserving traditional elements, and the ornaments were added.

I have also created an animation for the reveal of the logo. Since this event marks an anniversary, the idea was to create a "select your character"-style video featuring logos from previous events.

Other designs
Other event designs mostly included printed materials such as certificates, badges for different teams, and a roll-up banner. These designs incorporated patterns inspired by Shabaka (stained glass), that goes along with the event’s theme.
Logo
Inspired by Şəbəkə (Shabaka), a traditional Azerbaijani form of stained glass art.
This is a Jubilee Event of the European Youth Parliament Azerbaijan, where I was one of the Head-Organiser and created the event’s branding.
The theme of the event, “Handmade in the Digital Age,” focused on celebrating human craftsmanship, emotion, and creativity in an increasingly digital world.
