Hello everyone, my name is Ilya Denisov (pseudonym Ilya Stallone). I am the creator of a series of works "Medieval Branding" and I am a person who simply loves both history and art together.

I decided to imagine what the logos of famous modern brands could look like during the Middle Ages. Therefore, I present to you a selection of ten logos that I created.

If you like my work, subscribe to my accounts where I share my artwork, I will be glad for any support!

I'm a graphic designer. My passions are illustration, logo and branding. My goal is that every one of my next projects is better than the last. I consider myself privileged that I have seen the beauty and power of this profession. Being a graphic designer means being creative, precise, dedicated, free to express yourself.

    Some Medieval art is thoroughly bizarre. My favourite are where knights are fights small snails and the infamous "rocket cat". Just type in "strange medieval art" into Google Images and have fun. Just beware that some images may not be safe for work.

    This is if someone in the Middle Ages said “sure I know what a red panda is” and just used a fox because they really didn’t know.

    Lately, I was in Belarus and visited several medieval castles. This atmosphere encouraged me to create this series of works. I've been designing, illustrating and especially logo making for a long time and I realized that I can combine the work that I love and the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

    I cannot say that I am a full-fledged fan of the Middle Ages. But I think that the Middle Ages is quite an interesting period in history and in particular, I was interested in studying the art of the Middle Ages.

    "You" was the original plural object form, so probably correct. "Thou, thee" are the subject, object forms in singular, and "ye" is the subject form in plural.

    3 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Testicles were everywhere in the middle ages! A "b*****k knife" was a dagger with the hilt carved into a twig and berries, if you know what I mean! Codpieces enhanced the dingleberries through the 15th century and one-eyed snakes were popular graffiti as far back as Pompeii! The Puritanical reservations about sex and bodies didn't really happen until, well, Puritans did!

    I have been drawing everywhere since childhood, on notebooks, on a desk at school, on the hands of my classmates. My parents noticed my passion for drawing and sent me to art school. This desire to draw has not died out in me to this day. Therefore, I try to embody all my ideas in drawings, both graphic and in a traditional style.

    Reminds me of the bear joke. Guy is walking in forest. Bear appears in the path ahead. Guy kneels and starts to pray. Bear also kneels and starts praying. Guy exclaims, "Oh thank god a christian bear". Then he overhears the bear's prayer: "For what I am about to receive, I thank thee o lord..."

    Medieval artists had pattern books, copies, of copies, so the book might have a crocodile in it, the the 14th century artist living in an island off Scotland, hasn’t actually seen a crocodile. They would draw one from the copy book. But the person who put that together hasn’t seen one either, just from their copy book. So you end up with some nonsense, which only resembles the animal in spirit.

    Neat, though the rings are supposed to be overlapping concentric sound waves. The founder was named August Horch - 'horch' means 'listen' in german, hence Audi! ;)

    The rings represent the four companies that made up Audi's predecessor, Auto Union.

    I like every stage of the creative process. Everything goes quite easily and with pleasure. Of course, most of all I like the stage of the emergence of an idea in my head.

    The white areas on the painting make it look like a camera. Try squinting/blurring your eyes if you have difficulty. This is epic.
