to make it more exciting and get kids to read the little signs next to the torture equipment. We have decided to make
it an experience put al the information on the floor with UV-paint. In this way you can only see something when you
put on the UV-flash light otherwise it is just a white floor. So you really have to go exploring and discover new things.
All the info on the floor is hand drawn, even the text.»

Illustration was done by Jos Verwer, the typography by Trapped in Suburbia.

Special thanks to the CabFabLab, for their support.

two American visual artists that did this images in their spare time

by using the Sliced Bread//Notebook.
The first step requires a delicious
notebook to hold everything together.

It is a 12 slices/notebook set which has

been packaged for convenience.
Each delicious slice has number on it.
(1 to 12)

You can use each notebook for the

related month.
BRIEF
Olympic games is the most significant event for sports, international
relations and PR. Sochi has been chosen as the host city and would be
the centre of attraction of the whole world uniting nations and countries
with russian warmth. Sochi 2014 is the first winter Olympics 
in subtropical climate. 

The goal was to scatter the myth about the image of Russia as cold 
and unfriendly country. The symbolics should represent Russia
and it’s genuine friendly spirit and hospitality.

SOLUTION
People are dancing in a cheerful circle dance, holding hands, laughing
and singing. Khorovod is a symbol of unity. The logotype consists 
of palekh-stylized firebirds’ feathers in a round dance.

Firebird is a slavic fairytale character, symbol of fire, light and sun. 

Young men had to find firebirds’ feather in order to complete 
the challenge.  

Since the beginning of Olympics champions had been given the highest
honour to be awarded by wreath. Five feathers form laureate wreath which
symbilises five continents as in the Olympic sign.

*Khorovod - roundelay, russian traditional circledance

*Palekh - russian natoinal folk art (painting)
