Logo design for a Mykonian facility of suites located near Chora. Drawing on the Cyclades’ world-renowned architectural style, but with a contemporary sensibility, ArionMykonos – Suites by Domingo was named after the Ancient Greek musician and poet. The place has an artistic aura, thanks to its namesake, but also thanks to its owner, theater director and educator Domenikos Koukas, aka Domingo. Arion himself is said to have escaped his pirate abductors by riding on a dolphin’s back. This outlandish scene has been depicted many times in ancient iconography, including the Roman coin that the logo was based on. The final image is not a copy of that specific artifact but a freer, modernized variation, initially made by hand. Offering a fresher, more minimalist interpretation of the coin’s illustration, the logo captures a sense of movement and adventure – not to mention the eye of the viewer.
