ilya stallone brings iconic brand logos back to the middle ages

what if iconic brands traveled back in time?

artist ilya stallone brings ten famous brand logos back to the middle ages. with his humoristic ‘medieval branding’ collection, the illustrator catches the public’s attention through his instagram and twitter account, while beneath each image countless comments are applauding his witty sense of style.

from the famous dating app ‘tinder’ to the hamburger restaurant chain ‘burger king’ or the coffee chain ‘starbucks’, each illustration gives a hilarious reinterpretation of today’s most famous brands. along with the logos, the artist changes the fonts of the brand names, recreating them in a picturesque old english style.

MEDIEVAL BRANDING by ilya stallone

ilya stallone’s ‘medieval branding’ offers a glimpse of how the ‘windows’ logo would have looked like in the middle ages. perhaps a stained glass window would be one of the most iconic logos back in the 1400s; or the ‘puma’ logo would be depicted as a lion from gladiator fights in ancient rome; or imagine the burger king logo, squeezing two ordinary-looking kings of the time between the hamburger buns. check out some of the most intriguing designs below and discover even more on the artist’s instagram profile.
