Tulski
Tulski Celebrating Switzerland; the colours, the mountains, skiing and tulips.
1/5

Solution

Tulski showcases what Switzerland is famous and synonymous with - Tulips, skiing , mountains and the bold colours of its flag. Tulski, a combination of Tulips and Ski, is a modern design that is on trend with current patterns and geometric designs. It is a duo sided design with a light and dark sides that represent night and day and the different seasons - spring / summer and autumn/winter and is well suited for both genders.

What is the story behind your design?

I wanted to create a design that was graphic, bold, timeless and gender neutral which related to the iconic Victorinox brand and celebrated the beauty, wonders, sport and scenery of Switzerland. The colour palette for Tulski was directly drawn from the Victorinox logo and the Swiss flag with the addition of a charcoal black and a silver grey. The design elements are stylized patterns based on tulips, skis, ski trails, snow covered mountains and the lakes and valleys between them.

Is there a connection between your design and the Victorinox brand?

Yes, my Tulski design incorporates the brand colours of Victorinox and the design symbolizes the traditional customers' pastimes and the iconic Swiss product.

Please make sure you have filled out your country of origin in your profile! It’s important that the regional Victorinox team understands the cultural background of your design.

Sydney, Australia

Hi Kirsten, love your concept and design. I was wondering about making the background on the front a darker shade of grey to make the logo pop a bit more? Just a thought. :)

Kirsten, I love how it is so clearly your style, and yet hits the brief. I see people skiing. They stop to use their multi functional tool. Then they go on.

Super cool pattern! I really like the "conversation" between the back and the front - a nice solution! Am I the only one who is reminded by sushi? :) I do like the color palette too, it's very fresh, especially the front. I could imagine it as a wallpaper.
