Pen - Graphic Designer
Crafting Slovenia's logo design was very deliberate with its medieval font, use of hands visuals and of course Bled; this logo lends itself to the old world charm we embrace in Slovenia. It would have been easy to whip up a modern logo, but our logo is a nod to the authentic feel of the place we travel. Thank you Pen for your skilled talent and vision.
