Designing the logo for CoLab, a dynamic hub for programmers based in Leeds, was an exciting challenge to bring together creativity, collaboration, and technology. The design needed to embody CoLab’s innovative mission while being approachable, inclusive, and reflective of their vibrant community.
The bright cyan blue, a standout in the colour palette, represents clarity and innovation - perfect for a brand rooted in technology and forward-thinking. Combined with bold black and clean white accents, the colour scheme creates a modern and professional yet friendly tone that appeals to programmers of all levels. At the centre of the logo is a playful robot icon, representing CoLab’s ethos of blending fun with cutting-edge technology. Its design reflects both creativity and a collaborative spirit, inviting people to connect and innovate. The typography was carefully chosen for its clean, highly legible design, ensuring accessibility for all users, including those with visual impairments.
CoLab’s mission is clear: to be an inclusive space where programmers can share ideas, learn, and build the future together. This logo perfectly aligns with their values, offering a fresh, approachable, and tech-forward identity.

"I’ve seen Zuzanna at work on a number of projects, and I’d recommend her very highly as a designer and creative director. She has a wonderful eye for art, design and graphics which cuts across a range of cultures, sensibilities and approaches, and makes for a strongly pan-European, even pan-global, ability to create effective content. I’ve always found her to be a diligent, professional and friendly collaborator, able to turn even a thin brief into something remarkable or manage a heavy-duty project from inception to delivery". - David Hoghton-Carter, Founder at Colab North
