Hello! I am Ciprian Badalan and this is my portfolio. I am a multidisciplinary designer chiseled within large-scale branding projects and polished by energy-bursting indie experiments. My work has been recognized in international competitions like Red Dot Awards, Graphis, Rebrand100 or Pentawards.
Indygen is an innovative telecom brand created to serve the specific interests, motives, aspirations, challenges and lifestyle of the Romanian youth. A brand shaped like a youth movement needs a visual expression able to convey the rebellious energy of the youngsters. The symbol is built on the visual language of cause ribbons and illustrates the "Change" concept by reversing pessimism into optimism, while the Indygen sim comes packaged in a brand-property collectable series of urban-warrior-shaped designer toys.
