The hidden cost of visual inconsistency
Visual inconsistency rarely appears overnight. It accumulates gradually through small decisions that weaken recognition, reduce trust and create unnecessary complexity. This article explores why consistency is about far more than aesthetics — and why the strongest brands are built on repeatable systems rather than individual creative decisions.

Famous logos XXIV — Kodak
Few brands have shaped the way we remember the world as profoundly as Kodak. For more than a century, the company was synonymous with photography itself.

Behind the brand — Triathlon Cafe Club
The story of Triathlon Cafe Club began in 2021 as a collaborative vision between Sviiter Studio and Stanislav, an enthusiast deeply rooted in the worlds of cycling and triathlon. Initially conceived in Estonia as a straightforward online retail platform, the brand quickly realised that the community required more than just equipment; it needed a physical home. This realisation led to the establishment of the first Triathlon Café in Montenegro, a pioneering hub that integrated a specialty coffee experience with retail and a dedicated bike workshop.

BBC’s visual identity didn’t evolve through constant logo changes, but through one decisive shift in 1946 — from mark to system. What organisations can learn from a brand built on structure, not reinvention.
Visual identity is not cosmetic — it’s a leadership decision
Most visual problems are not design problems but decision problems. Why visual identity and CVI are leadership tools, not cosmetics — and how clarity creates consistency as companies grow.
Designers after AI — less execution, more decisions
AI won’t replace designers — just like digital cameras didn’t replace photographers. What changes is the role: less execution, more thinking. Less form, more decisions. Good design has never been about tools. It’s about responsibility, context and long-term value.
Sviiter Studio — 2025 year in review
Once again, the end of the year gives us a reason to pause and look back at what has passed through our table.
2025 was a year of steady work, structural change and quiet growth. One of the most significant shifts this year was the volume of subcontracting projects.
