Abduzeedo's Best of the Week: Systems with a Reason
In the weekly roundup from Abduzeedo for 2026-W20, ten design projects highlight clear logic in their execution. The Empathy Museum mark by Han Gao, featuring the Chinese character 同, was awarded Best of Behance. A motion system for giant screens and pitch-side LEDs was developed by LJ Studio, AONO Agency, and Maxime Galy for the French Football Federation. Trust is a key theme in the branding of Guardbase AI by Eugene Riabov and Arnold Aron in New York. Natalia Balabash's packaging for Foundation Coffee Roasters in Warsaw focuses on layout. Sua Balac's illustrations for 2024-25 from Stuttgart also received Best of Behance. Other notable projects include Yai Salinas' Ruda, JW Renders' architectural communication, David Novrian and Ahmad Aswin's Pixelatura font, and the award-winning TOFF Galleries logo and Eight & Bob packaging by INOVEO and Lavernia & Cienfuegos, respectively.
