Though we’re not big fans of overtly tech webdesign and we prefer warmer, more organic solutions, we loved the cleanliness and the powerful, warm glow that this website’s menu radiates.

An effective, minimal and charming way to introduce your studio, your work or the philosopy underlying your materspieces could be writing it in a short introduction (or simply summarizing it with a witty quote).

Artel is a Russian design bureau with a great logos and identities portfolio and a really nice navigation system.
We loved the tab menu because of the rounded cut just above the logo and the way the single tab displays a punch card, once you click on it.
