CYENCE

CYENCE is a massive international science expo hitting Brno in 2027, uniting top-tier global student researchers with local Czech high schoolers. I needed to build a visual identity that shares DNA with its parent brand, Zvaž vědu, without becoming a direct clone. I delivered a generative visual system that feels entirely legitimate for the global stage, yet disruptive.

The target audience was a complete mess: the branding had to impress national delegations and government ministries while looking cool to a 16-year-old kid. Insane. On top of that, we had to be instantly recognizable as a Zvaž vědu event while establishing being a completely independent. Closing that impossible gap between "official embassy" and "youth hype" was the battle.

I set the identity in the physics of interference—what happens when two distinct waves (international science and local students) collide. Keeping Zvaž vědu's core typography and yellow, I injected a Cyan color and coded a custom HTML/JS pattern generator. This tool lets their team instantly generate infinitely customizable, fully animated wave patterns with absolutely zero design skills required.

Thanks to the principles of FVS, the brand is instantly recognized by its dynamic behavior rather than a static logo—everything looks completely unified, but literally never identical. By handing the client a grid system and a one-click animation generator, I didn’t just give them a cool aesthetic. I handed them an indestructible, infinitely scalable design system they can operate entirely on their own.
