Alexander Kirzhbaum has been regularly collaborating with the branding and creative agency Artonica as a designer on a project basis for the past few years. During this period, we jointly implemented several large projects in the areas of branding, identity and advertising communications.
We can characterize Alexander as more than just a highly professional designer. Alexander is an artist, and we are especially impressed by his creative approach to any topic. Mastery of a variety of fine art techniques and interest in innovative design tools allows Alexander to successfully solve non-standard problems.
Alexander's ability to work as a team is especially important when working on large-scale projects. You can note his own recognizable artistic style, which is not often found nowadays, when most designers prefer to work in proven trends. The desire to enter the territory of the unknown is especially visible in Alexander's non-profit projects. This is a very personal work in which he is not afraid to demonstrate his position and his view of the surrounding reality.
We are completely satisfied with the results of our joint work and look forward to continuing cooperation in the future.

The Foundation for Supporting Children in Difficult Life Situations expresses gratitude to A.S.Kirzhbaum and his team for the high quality of the work performed. The Foundation is the only organization in its field whose activities are aimed at consolidating the efforts of all government bodies, various institutions and businesses to help children and families. It is important for us to demonstrate to real potential partners the scale and level of our work.
Since 2010, you and your team have been helping us solve this problem. I would like to note the high-quality work on creating corporate styles for the annual exhibition and forum "Together for the sake of children!" in 2010-2012 (logo, brand elements, design concepts for exhibition space, printing design for exhibitions and forums), development of layouts for exhibition stands and the Foundation's banner, creation of printed products (Fund's booklet, annual calendars).
Your team always offers a fresh solution to the assigned tasks. The work is completed by the team on time, and the results are always satisfactory.
We wish you large-scale creative tasks and look forward to continued cooperation.

The Moscow City University of Management of the Moscow Government expresses gratitude to the Kirzhbaum-project company for its effective work in creating a new corporate identity and brand book.
The logo and elements of the corporate identity, which were invented and brought to life by the company's specialists, were developed based on the most current trends in modern logo design. The most successful logos are built based on the principles of minimalism and simplicity of execution — overloading details, unnecessary additions, and an excess of thin lines are removed. As a result, the new logo turned out to be bright and memorable, especially compared to the logos of other Russian educational institutions.
The new corporate identity of the University received positive feedback not only from the main target audience (students and applicants), but also from the heads of executive authorities of the city of Moscow.
The University is ready to recommend the Kirzhbaum-Project company as a design studio that is capable of solving complex and non-standard problems within a specified time frame, professionally, creatively and with a high degree of independence.
