The Saint Savino Fair in Ivrea is a traditional celebration that consists of both religious ceremonies and artistic events, such as poetry readings and dance performances. The horse parade is a major event that takes place through the main streets.
The visual was designed for the 2025 poster competition. Some main symbols of Ivrea and its fair are illustrated: horses, carriage wheels, the hands of Saint Savino, the Ivrea Castle and the Roman Amphitheater.
Lisio: un progetto di educazione all'aria aperta is a project by Fondazione CRC made to plan open-air cultural experiences for children in the Municipality of Lisio, Cuneo.
The identity design has been used for the project launch.
In 2019 Codice Edizioni decided to renew the graphic system of its editorial production, made of scientific and fiction titles. The redesign aim was to obtain uniformity and recognizability through a simple and flexible layout. One of the brief specifications was to make cover images as clear as possibile.
Cover layout is based on a grid that recalls the square shape of Codice’s logo, a strongly identifying element (not redesigned). There are several possible positions on the grid for logo and texts, but a diagonal alignment is constant. Images are evident thanks to the absence of frames or decorative elements that could hide them.
All books have in common layout and composition rules, but differ in the iconographic choices on covers: photographs, historical images and minimal graphics are used for the science titles, while illustrations, by Davide Bonazzi, appear on fiction covers. From a typographical point of view, opposite choices have been made for the two categories: a sans serif font for the scientific titles, a serif font with high contrast for fiction.
Particular attention is given to colours, as hues are vivid as possible, both in images and texts.
Cover visuals continue on the book spine, in order to have a colorful and variable effect. Spines are characterized by a new identity element: the "c", extrapolated from Codice logo and positioned at the bottom. The result of the redesign is cohesive and recognizable, but at the same time dynamic and mixed.

Una sola Terra (only one Earth) is a festival
about sustainability, environment and biodiversity, held in the city of Brescia, Italy.
The logo symbol geometrically depicts a weight standing on Earth, just like our actions are burden on the environment. The two shapes have the same width and are not optically corrected, so that the black square looks a little bigger than the green circle.
The symbol is accompanied by the name Una sola Terra written in Cy, a font with many alternative glyphs and with both soft and angular shapes.
The idea of burden conveyed by the symbol becomes even more clear in the identity system: other black shapes are added together on the logo symbol, creating a stack in a precarious balance.
Una sola Terra festival is promoted by
Comune di Brescia, Fondazione Brescia Musei, Museo Scienze Naturali Brescia and Codice Edizioni.
