EKTIPOTIKI AXION
The story
We have known ‘Ektipotiki Axion’ for quite some time and have entrusted them with the printing of most of our projects, especially the ones that require a lot of attention. ‘Ektipotiki Axion’ is what you’d call a ‘boutique printing house’ with 50 years of experience. So we couldn’t hide our excitement when Eleftheria, Ektipotiki Axion's owner, asked us to work on the company’s rebrand.

The logotype & the visual identity
A close look into the company’s logo reveals the combination of E and A, which stand for ‘Ektipotiki’ and ‘Axion’, forming an ampersand. The decision to create an ampersand-looking symbol is based upon the company’s long history, paying homage to the early days when Ektipotiki Axion was printing using metal letterpress blocks and typography was very much intertwined with printing. Besides its intriguing typographic character, the ampersand symbol is a visual interpretation of the Latin ‘et’, which translates to ‘and’, revealing a plethora of services offered by the printing house. Lastly, the typefaces used gives this logo its sense of modern classic.
The visual identity design represented a good opportunity to display the company’s skills and special techniques to potential customers. More specifically, the ability to foil stamp is shown through the business cards while the two types of notebooks showcase letterpress printing and embossing-technique respectively. Therefore, the overall image is that of a boutique printing house with a fresh approach, but also rich in history.
Testimonials
At the very beginning, we and S & Team have been working together as suppliers; Vangelis and his amazing team entrusted us various office printing projects. Along the way, the need for a change came up; therefore, Ektipotiki’s Axion logo was born to lead to the total rebranding of our business. S & Team have been working on our project for months taking care of everything with much inspiration and professionalism. They
clearly defined our potential and highlighted it. The receiving feedback from our clients was then and now really impressive. S & Team is a valuable partner with quality, talent, vitality, consistency and a genuine love for what they serve and the people who work with.
Wishes for many years of beloved cooperation!
