Mapa Brna a okolí – mantinely kluziště Vodova – STAREZ

2025

Around the perimeter of the ice rink at the Vodova Hall, a map of Brno winds its way, divided into sections by white clouds and featuring the STAREZ logo – based on a highly detailed illustrated map of Brno and its surroundings that I created for STAREZ , the company that manages sports facilities in Brno – project HERE.

I handled the graphic work and added supplementary illustrations to the existing map, adjusting all elements so they made sense and flowed well together. From a distance, the ice rink now looks cheerful and serves as an additional connecting element with the other design pieces I created for the company.

On this map, all sports facilities under their management are marked. Their exact locations are indicated by an arrow designed to resemble a gust of wind. The arrow leads from a cloud containing the name of the respective sports facility and several pictograms representing activities, services, refreshment options, facilities, and other amenities available to visitors at that venue. Each cloud is accompanied by an illustration depicting something characteristic of the given location.

The map highlights key landmarks, such as the Klajdovka transmitter, the Brno Astronomical Clock, the mammoth at Anthropos, the ‘UFO’ (Pavilion Z) at the Brno Exhibition Centre, the Pekárna Cave in the Moravian Karst, a beaver on the Bobrava River, a wild boar in the Holedná game reserve in Jundrov, an airplane near Tuřany Airport, a steamboat on the Brno Reservoir, Veveří Castle, and others.

The map depicts railway lines, motorways, expressways, and regular roads and streets in a detailed and accurate manner, using red, green, orange, and yellow colors. Parks, fields, meadows, and forests are shown in shades of green and orange. Buildings are grouped into blocks rendered in purple and pink tones.

The STAREZ illustrated logo also marks their headquarters on Křížkovského Street. And, of course, the mascots Neo and Lia cannot be missing. I designed these characters for STAREZ, and as life-size mascots, they regularly appear at the company’s events, entertaining children and helping them take part in the activities – project HERE.

The map also serves as a visual foundation and unifying element across other graphic materials, such as the cups used at their sports facilities, which I also illustrated: Riviera swimming pool, Vodova hall, Vodova ice rink, Kohoutovice aquapark, Zábrdovice swimming pool, Swimming pools in general, Sports Recruitment Day at Kraví hora.
