Constantinople | Redesign

Become part of humanity’s final debate: preserve the last vestiges of memory as an eternal mausoleum or burn all heritage in the bonfire of dazzling ecstasy. Your choice will determine whether the end of the world will be a quiet elegy or a deafening hymn of freedom.

The visual concept is built on a fusion of post-apocalyptic aesthetics, Byzantine architectural motifs, and elements of sacred graphic design. The ruined city is not merely a setting but the brand’s central symbol—a space caught between memory and oblivion, order and chaos, perpetual day and endless night. Within this new visual system, the key imagery from the original project is retained: the architecture of the lost city, ritualistic symbolism, figures of the survivors, and the intense color atmosphere. However, these elements are reinterpreted through contemporary product design, cinematic photography, and generative graphics.

In the refreshed identity, the name «Constantinople» has been retained, serving both as the setting and the core image of the project. The logo is an elongated typographic composition featuring delicate geometric lines. The letters' plasticity is enhanced with decorative elements inspired by architecture and celestial symbolism. The iconic element is built around a vertical axis connecting the sun, crescent moon, and geometric landmarks. This structure symbolizes the conflict between two worldviews and the ultimate choice that determines the city’s destiny.

Developing «Constantinople» as a startup involves creating additional branded merchandise that allows the game’s visual identity to permeate daily life. To demonstrate the scalability of the brand style, three conceptual merchandise objects have been developed.

Luxury branded merchandise mockup for the Constantinople board game—featuring an elegant copper-gold geometric logo, celestial symbols, premium black material, and burgundy velvet against an ancient stone background. The design employs soft cinematic lighting, maintaining a consistent visual identity for a collectible object.

The interior is inspired by the architecture of a fantasy city. Arched structures, stone surfaces, dark shelving, and bronze decorative accents create an atmosphere reminiscent of the visual world of «Constantinople.» A large display table featuring an unfolded game board occupies the center. Shelves lining the perimeter hold boxes, cards, merchandise, and promotional materials.
