An innovative restoration workshop that works with personal and institutional archives. The core principle is that an archive is not a static object, but a living system of memory that requires analysis, careful intervention, and repackaging for the future.
In the process of creating the identity, the following neural networks were utilized: Chat GPT, Recraft, Qwen, Ideogram, and Claude. Before every prompt, an unchanging block of style constants was included: Use the attached logo exactly as is; do not redraw it. Typography: a single monospaced family only, IBM Plex Mono. The logo and all headlines are set in IBM Plex Mono Medium; all catalog numbers, cell captions, labels, and contact details are set in IBM Plex Mono Regular. Never use any other font. BRAND ELEMENTS that MUST be visible and never replaced with flat color: (1) a strict grid of fine ruled lines in 101A17 in three weights only: hairline, medium, and one thick header line; (2) table cells, most of which are left EMPTY; (3) exactly ONE cell filled with solid 5F6C66, such as «Ф. 01 / Оп. 03 / Д. 117 / Л. 24»; (5) dotted leader lines connecting a title to its number; (6) one tiny stamp mark in C23B22. The paper is matte uncoated EDF1EC. The look should be flat, precise, and archival ledger style. No glass, no decoration, no blue, no beige, and no colon or other punctuation in the logo.
Archival Restoration Workshop Rebranding
Prompt for GPT logo: Design ONE final logo for «Stasis,» an archival conservation studio built like an archive ledger: a single row of 6 equal square cells spelling S, t, a, s, [empty cell], s in IBM Plex Mono Medium. The fifth cell is empty and the sixth is filled solid 1F3D36 with a reversed 101A17 with one thicker header line on top, flat vector, centered on EDF1EC, no punctuation, no colon, no extra elements.
Using the What The Fonts service, the brand’s primary typeface—IBM Plex Mono—was identified.
Prompt for GPT color palette generation: Brand: Stasis, an archival paper conservation studio. Idea: time put on pause, memory preserved under glass, an identity built like an archive ledger. Propose ONE palette of 5 colors with HEX code, name, and role (primary, background, accent, text, neutral). Avoid blue and beige, keep the accent very sparing, and ensure text contrast (WCAG) compliance. Provide a one-line rationale for each color.
GPT Business Card Prompt: A 16:9 image on a pure black background showing only two business cards, front facing on the left and back facing on the right, slightly angled. Front: EDF1EC card with the ruled grid, the logo very large (about 60% of the width) in the top-left cells, one cell filled with 1F3D36 and a tiny #C23B22 stamp; back: a ledger table with name, title, phone, and email, dotted leaders, and a catalog number.
Measures
Prompt for GPT Notebook: A 16:9 image on pure black featuring only a closed hardcover notebook in solid gray 5F6C66 cloth and a solid red C23B22 pen lying beside it. The cover is printed in white ink with the full ledger grid, the slogan «Discover your story» in the header row, one solid white cell, catalog numbers, and a small white logo at the bottom center.
Prompt for GPT folders: Product photo of white document folders on matte EDF1EC board, featuring a flap and elastic band. The cover is printed with a ruled grid and the logo in one large top cell. A label cell reading «Дело» (Case File) leads via a dotted leader to «Д. 117» (D. 117), and one cell is filled with 1F3D36 and a tiny #C23B22 stamp. One folder lies half-open on a dark desk, revealing loose sheets printed as empty ledger tables. Shot from above, with soft, cool lighting.
Recraft Prompt for Bags: Two paper shopping bags hanging side by side on a light-gray wall: one entirely solid red C23B22, the other entirely solid dark green 1F3D36, with handles matching the color. Both are printed in white ink instead of dark: the full ledger grid with empty cells, one solid white cell, catalog numbers, and a large white logo in one big cell.
Recraft keychain prompt: Photorealistic 3D render, 16:9, on pure black: one metal ring holds a brushed steel plate with the logo laser-cut through it, a rectangular paper tag printed with the ledger grid, numbers, and the slogan «Preserve your story,» and two thick braided cords, red C23B22 and green 1F3D36. Cinematic lighting, soft shadows, ultra-detailed 3D materials.
Recraft T-shirt Prompt: A 16:9 ghost mannequin mockup on pure black: featuring two identical dark green 1F3D36 heavyweight t-shirts—one front view on the left and one back view on the right—with no person present. The front displays only the logo on the left chest in EDF1EC ink; the back features a large ledger table in the same ink with empty cells, one solid cell, catalog numbers, and a tiny red stamp.
Promotional Materials
Prompt for Qwen banner: A photorealistic 16:9 image of a large 3:1 outdoor banner on a building facade, solid red #C23B22, everything printed in white ink. The ledger grid with catalog numbers covers the entire banner; a small logo is placed in the top left corner, and the large slogan «Build a story in the right order» is written into the grid cells at the bottom.
Prompt for the first series of Qwen posters: A 16:9 image on pure black featuring three A3 portrait posters arranged in a single straight row. All posters are solid white (#EDF1EC) with dark (#101A17) print and one filled cell of color #1F3D36 each. The same slogan, «They believed you wouldn’t forget, ” appears on all three, but each poster features a distinct grid density, slogan placement and size, logo position, and filled-cell position.
