Since the human being and its experiences are the central points to the brief, and then to our talks with a client, we have understood that we need to leave technology behind, focus on emotions and find a way to include them in the new identity.
From where we stand, the most difficult thing was finding a symbol that would show the multiplicity of human experiences (sadness, happiness, smile, pain, surprise, anger, love, lust, disappointment, peace, etc.)
From where we stand, the most difficult thing was finding a symbol that would show the multiplicity of human experiences (sadness, happiness, smile, pain, surprise, anger, love, lust, disappointment, peace, etc.)
During the course of work, we understood that it is the human experience that induces emotion and that it is experience, that determines what emotion will be evoked in a particular situation. We started to take a closer look at ourselves in relations with other people, with close ones, with strangers, with clients, with family. Watching people, we have realized that emotions are also a way for people to communicate with each other. It is a kind of language, that allows one to convey certain messages put in context of the particular human being’s experiences.
Thus, an idea was born to use our observations to design the identity based
on simple, abstract symbols representing the language of human emotions.
The language that is not always understood by everyone.

The language that is not always understood by everyone.
We have designed identity, that uses these symbols to designate elements important from the human being’s perspective, crucial to its emotions and experiences. This is how a system has been developed, that works equally well
on printed materials, physical objects, digital products, photographs, clothing
and interiors.

What is also important, is that thanks to the proper design of the logo, we have decided to show that the Uselab company
is able to extract from the sea of these human experiences, emotions and symbols those, which are crucial for human
fulfillment and success of the client’s project.
