Logo design for businesses in Chernihiv and the Chernihiv region — from simple wordmarks for cafés on Chervona Square and car services to full mark systems for brewing, chemicals and machinery enterprises, IT teams and hotels around the Dytynets fortress. Not just a "pretty icon", but a working mark that performs on a 30-metre sign on Myru Avenue and on a 16-pixel favicon in the browser.

Basic package — 600 USD: 3 concepts, up to 3 revision rounds, final SVG/EPS/PNG/PDF files, mini guideline of 5-7 pages. Extended — 1200 USD: 4 concepts, full 20-30 page brand book, light and dark backgrounds, favicon, app icon, business card and social templates. Premium — from 2500 USD: full identity, tone of voice, presentation templates, packaging. 50% prepayment, the rest after final approval. Details for logo design and a matching website can be bundled.
Basic package — 2-3 weeks: 3-5 days for brief and research, 5-7 days for concepts, 5-7 days for revisions and final delivery. Full identity — 4-6 weeks. I work step by step: first I show black-and-white sketches to focus on form rather than color. That saves time and produces a better result. If the deadline is urgent (an exhibition or product launch) I can deliver in 7-10 days at +30% to the price.
Yes, that is a third of my projects. Rebranding is especially relevant for Chernihiv businesses operating since the 1990s and still using logos in the style of that time — frames, gradients, Arial. I start with an audit: interviews with owners and key clients, brand perception analysis, competitive review. Often the old mark should not be discarded but evolved — keep a recognisable element, modernise the rest. That respects the company history.
Yes, I always test the logo in extreme scenarios: 16x16px favicon, Telegram avatar, embroidery on workwear, large 3x6 meter signage, engraving on wood (important for Chernihiv oblast wood processing brands), textile embroidery, metal etching. If the mark breaks in any of those scenarios it is not a logo, it is a drawing. The brand book includes minimum sizes and clear-space rules.
A full 20-40 page brand book: primary logo, monochrome versions, minimum sizes, clear space, prohibited usage, color palette (CMYK, RGB, HEX, Pantone), typography (headline and body fonts with licenses), construction grid, examples on branded carriers — business cards, letterheads, envelopes, presentations, social media, merch. For manufacturers I add packaging and labeling templates.
Main tool — Figma, for vector precision — Adobe Illustrator. I sketch by hand in a notebook — it is faster and produces cleaner ideas than starting in Figma. Fonts come from licensed libraries (Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, MyFonts), sometimes I commission a custom typeface from a type designer. All final vectors are delivered in SVG, EPS, PDF, AI — the client can open them in any editor.
Registration is a legal process, not a design one. I do not register trademarks, but I recommend trusted lawyers in Chernihiv and Kyiv. Before design I always advise the client to check whether the name and mark are taken in your niche — a basic search via Ukrpatent and EUIPO open databases. If the mark turns out to be taken, I do not take prepayment again — I redesign for free.
Fully to the client. I do not retain any usage rights on the mark — after final invoice payment all property rights pass to the customer. This is fixed in the contract. I can showcase the work in my portfolio only with the client's consent (NDA signed if required). Files are delivered via Google Drive or Dropbox with a permanent link — you will have access even five years later.
Yes, this is one of my specialties here. Chernihiv oblast is a forest region with dozens of companies — from small sawmills to lumber exporters to the EU. For such brands I design marks that survive harsh conditions: wood engraving, embroidery on workwear, laser marking on crates. I avoid thin lines and tiny details — they fail on dirty packaging. I often add wood or coniferous symbols, but stylised, never literal.
Yes. Chernihiv is the oldest city of Ukraine with princely roots from the 9th century: Chernihiv Detinets, Saviour-Transfiguration Cathedral, Anthony Caves. For hotels, tour agencies and restaurants in the historical center I create marks that combine modern graphics with elements of Byzantine or old Rus symbolism — without kitsch, without "matryoshkas". I often build the logo on great typography plus one stylised symbol. If a matching website is needed for a tourism brand, I deliver the bundle.
Chernihiv has many businesses founded by parents in the 1990s and now run by children in their 30s and 40s, often with Chernihiv National Pedagogical University or foreign education. The old logo is the memory of founders but no longer matches modern standards. I help evolve the mark gradually, preserving historical continuity: recognisable shape, refreshed proportions, modern typography. That respects parents and customers alike. The feeling of "ours" stays.
I use only licensed fonts: Google Fonts (fully free and commercial), Adobe Fonts (part of Creative Cloud), MyFonts and Type Network for premium tasks. License files are handed over to the client with the brand book. No pirated content. I draw icons and symbols myself — nothing from photo stocks or Iconfinder. Sometimes I bring in a type designer for a custom typeface — I know several talented people in Chernihiv and Kyiv, some are graduates of Chernihiv National Technological University and Kyiv art schools.

A logo is the face of a business. In Chernihiv and the Chernihiv region, the market is saturated with local brands across every category: from cafés on Myru Avenue and Mahistratska streets to manufacturers, IT startups and medical centres. To stand out, a business needs more than “coming up with a name” — it needs a logo that works: on a sign, on a website, on social media, on commercial proposals, on merchandise. I’m Alex Filiuk, Senior UI/UX and graphic designer with 15 years of experience, designing logos for Chernihiv businesses since the 2010s. My portfolio includes 80+ brand marks for Ukrainian and international clients, including a number of companies from Chernihiv and the region.
This page brings together everything a business owner or marketing lead should know before commissioning a logo in Chernihiv: what the process looks like, how much it costs, what types of marks exist, how to avoid typical mistakes, and why it pays off to choose a designer rooted in the Chernihiv context rather than a random freelancer.
In a city of 240,000+ residents and a strong small-and-medium business sector, competition in every category is high. It might seem like a regional market, but regionality creates specifics: your customers see your sign every day, walk past your point of sale, discuss you in local chats. The first impression a logo creates is either an impulse to walk in, or “another faceless shop”.
A logo in Chernihiv performs three key functions:
There’s no “universal” logo — each business needs its own type of mark. Before drawing anything, we agree which approach is optimal for your company.
For businesses in Chernihiv, combination marks work best most often — they’re recognisable, flexible, and easily adapt to signs, packaging and the website. If you’re also planning web development or UI/UX design in parallel, this approach is the recommended one.
I work via a transparent process that all my clients have gone through over 15 years. Each stage has a fixed deliverable that you can see. No “trust the designer and wait a month” — you know what’s happening every week.
The total cycle is 3–4 weeks. If you need it faster (for example, you’re opening a location in Chernihiv and the sign must be ready by a specific date) — we discuss an expedited format, where deadlines compress to 2 weeks via parallel work on multiple stages.
The price comes from the scope of work, not from geography — a resident of Chernihiv, Kyiv or Los Angeles gets the same rates for the same package. Approximate ranges (exact figures are in the “Pricing” block above):
Worth a separate note: if you order a logo together with branding, a website, or polygraphy — the combined package costs less than the sum of the individual services. It’s healthy business sense — savings for you and more efficient work for me (one context, one logic).
Over 15 years of work I’ve seen dozens of cases where a business in Chernihiv (or across Ukraine) overpaid or got a bad result due to typical mistakes. Here are the key ones:
Logo design evolves alongside the digital environment. Here are the 2025–2026 trends I keep in mind when working for businesses in Chernihiv:
My portfolio includes 130+ projects, of which ~80 involve logo or full branding work. Among them — clients from various business categories: retail, services, manufacturing, IT, education. I’ve worked with Chernihiv companies, with clients from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Odesa, and also from the USA (New York, Los Angeles) and Europe. This lets me see how local Chernihiv businesses compete with national and international brands — and how a logo can become a tool of that competition.
If you want concrete examples — go to the “Projects” section or get in touch via the contact form: I’ll pick 5–10 most relevant cases for your niche and show not just final logos but the working process — concepts, variations, brand-guides.
A logo is part of an ecosystem. If you’re planning a serious launch or a rebrand, a complex approach is worth considering:
I work not only with businesses from the Chernihiv region. If you have offices in several cities or are planning regional expansion — we’ll build a system that scales. Among other locations I actively work with:
The full list of locations is on the “Service Areas” page.
If you have a specific request — fill in the contact form or write to email/Telegram (contacts in the website footer). The first consultation is free, up to 60 minutes long. We’ll discuss your business, the logo’s goals, an approximate budget and timeline. After that I’ll send a detailed proposal with a fixed price — no surprises and no hidden fees.
I’m ready to design a logo for your business in Chernihiv that will work for recognition, trust and sales growth for years. Not “another mark”, but a working marketing tool.
