The objective is to create and implement the company's new versatile visual identity. Gatvės gyvos, VšĮ is a public enterprise operating since 2015 and promoting sustainable travel in local surroundings, e.g. by exploring historical landmarks in one’s own neighbourhood. Despite its significant achievements, the company has never had a strong visual identity. The company provides a large number of different services (about 50 different sightseeing routes, 15 themed day camps for children, 8 orienteering games, etc.), and there is a constant need to present its services in a visually appealing way. Once the identity was created, the challenge arose to create aesthetically pleasing designs for services, like a forthcoming guidebook on Vilnius neighbourhoods and posters for sightseeing tours.

The principles of the circular economy are implemented by:
1) encouraging people to travel in their local environments;
2) creating versatile design templates that can be used in the future.

The principles of the digital economy have been implemented by creating more user-friendly and visually attractive tools to facilitate the process of ordering services and adapting the visual identity to a digital environment.

The new visual identity is represented by: a logo, fonts and colours; versatile templates designed to present a wide range of services in digital space; adaptation of the newly created website to the new visual identity; creation of the design for a guidebook to Vilnius neighbourhoods; and various physical products with a new level of visual quality.

Vitameda develops and manufactures workwear and supplies it to the EU market. The company's products lacked a brand identity and their design lacked a contemporary feel. In order to structure the company's activities, the products were divided into three categories and, once the target audience had been identified, two brand strategies were developed and a brand was created based on one of the strategies. The Lonewolf brand's audience and strategy were also reviewed and the product design was updated. The Lonewolf brand focuses on comfort, quality and resilience. At the ISPO Munich 2022 outdoor clothing exhibition, quality materials were selected to increase product durability. The ARBOR brand's new strategy is to produce only made-to-order garments, thus reducing overproduction. The new brand identity reflects the rich choice of colours that distinguishes the product in the Lithuanian and global markets. In the prototyping process, 3D construction technology was used to reduce the use of raw materials and resources. These solutions are expected to drive the company's growth through a unique product identity and design.

Kvalitetas manages the Urbanfood brand, which offers raw food products made in Lithuania, such as powders and mixtures of various berries, vegetables, herbs and seeds. 

Participation in the Design Wings project will contribute to the increased digitalisation of the company, as activities related to the attractive and engaging presentation of products in a virtual environment are foreseen. In this way, consumers will be educated about the uniqueness of the products and encouraged to consume the company's products more frequently in their daily diets, thus obtaining the necessary nutrients and replacing synthetic vitamins or food supplements. The interactive animations are expected to engage not only adults but also children. At the same time, the company will be more visible in the virtual environment.

The company's production is based on circular economy principles: raw materials are sourced from local farms, and products that are not suitable for supermarkets (too big, too small or otherwise substandard) are used. The project will seek to interactively communicate these circular economy principles in the company in a virtual space, by creating relevant design elements, graphic elements and animations of the circular economy cycle.

Gerų minčių ūkis is a family-owned brand from Klaipėda, Lithuania. They craft handmade jams, preserves, condiments, and gift items using natural ingredients – all made with love for nature and people.

As part of this project, "Gerų minčių ūkis" will redesign its product labels and packaging while retaining the current logo and core elements of its visual identity. At present, the packaging design lacks clarity and distinctiveness—it does not ensure product recognition, fails to communicate the value of the goods, and does not establish a strong emotional connection with consumers.

Although the products are high-quality, made from natural and often locally sourced ingredients without preservatives, this is not effectively conveyed through the current design. As a result, the company is missing the opportunity to stand out in the market and strengthen its brand identity.

The project aims to create new, clear, and distinctive label and packaging design solutions that will enhance brand recognition and competitiveness. These designs will reflect the company's core values—quality, sustainability, locality, and community—and foster a deeper emotional connection with consumers through an honest, nature-inspired, and aesthetically appealing visual language.

Social Impact. The updated label and packaging design for "Gerų minčių ūkis" will contribute to positive social impact at both the consumer and local community levels. By clearly communicating the company’s values—quality, sustainability, locality, and community—it will promote consumer awareness and encourage support for local producers, as well as the choice of natural and responsibly made products.

Company is dedicated to reviving the best farming traditions once celebrated by strong Lithuanian homesteads. Located on the scenic bluff of the Šventoji River in the Ukmergė district, Leonpolis Manor is home to an organic farm whose products are sold both in major cities across Lithuania and online.

Currently, the Leonpolis Dvaro Kooperatyvas lacks a clear, competitive, and easily recognizable visual identity that would support effective communication with its target audiences and enhance both brand awareness and perceived value.

The goal of this project is to develop a new, distinctive, and market-competitive brand, which will include a logo, a comprehensive visual identity system with usage guidelines, and packaging design for its products.

The resulting design will enable the cooperative to communicate its values in a consistent and professional way, strengthen customer trust, and improve brand recognition both locally and more broadly. The design solutions will also contribute significantly to the cooperative’s social impact by building trust in the brand and encouraging responsible consumption.

Visual communication will reinforce the company’s image as a producer of organic goods and a steward of sustainable agriculture, fostering a sense of credibility and encouraging environmentally conscious choices. It will also help raise consumer awareness about environmental issues, strengthen cultural identity, preserve historical memory, and inspire community engagement in sustainability and cultural initiatives.

The visual identity and brand communication will convey a message rooted in respect for nature, community, and heritage. It will encourage local residents to take an active role in promoting sustainability and culture, instill pride in local heritage, and motivate participation in various initiatives.

To improve the quality of services provided by the organization, the project will develop new static and dynamic visual solutions tailored to an older audience. These solutions will strengthen the social impact of the organization “Senjorų pasaulis” by increasing senior engagement in virtual activities. A clear and easy-to-understand service design will help seniors better grasp the available opportunities and encourage participation in four thematic modules: culture, foreign languages, wellness, and information technology. A specially designed service guide will support seniors in navigating digital communication tools with confidence—opening a new window to the world. The design solution will improve older adults’ ability to use digital tools, enabling the organization to more effectively promote social inclusion and enhance seniors’ quality of life by increasing their access to skill-building and remote learning opportunities. Digital inclusion has the potential to significantly improve seniors’ well-being—building their confidence and reducing fear of technology. It will also help them connect with others, participate in remote activities, and remain integrated in today’s technology-driven world.

Unikalus šokis offers dance classes open to everyone, regardless of age, experience, or individual learning needs. The dances are adapted so that anyone can participate. The organization's mission is not only to provide dance activities but also to create opportunities for children and young people with individual learning needs to integrate into society — while raising public awareness that these children are equally deserving of love and friendship. The broader goal is to build a community of non-formal education teachers, making non-formal education more accessible to children with diverse learning needs.

This project will develop new design solutions—including sensory T-shirts and related accessories—with the aim of promoting social inclusion and raising public awareness about people with disabilities. The design is inspired by a drawing created by artist Skaistė Druskinytė and graphic designer Vesta Tilindytė, which reflects a personal experience with depression. This artwork will be translated into a tactile representation on the T-shirts, creating a strong aesthetic and emotional connection to social issues.

A designer will create a sensory version of the T-shirt, where the illustration will be rendered using textile and other material techniques that add a tactile dimension. This approach will transform the T-shirts into garments that are not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant and accessible to people with various disabilities.

The project may also explore the development of alternative T-shirt silhouettes, based on the results of user surveys, to better suit the needs of individuals with different disabilities. These design solutions aim to foster a greater sense of inclusion and address both aesthetic and practical challenges in everyday life and clothing use.

The sensory T-shirts and accessories created during the project will serve as tools for social change. The initiative will raise public awareness about people with disabilities and actively involve them in the creative process, giving them the opportunity to contribute to the making of the artwork. This participation will help reduce social exclusion and promote inclusion.

The design solutions will also provide a platform for open and sincere dialogue about mental health and disability. Art will be used as a medium to address sensitive topics that are often overlooked in public discourse, encouraging greater understanding and empathy. In addition, the sensory accessories included in the packaging will convey the project’s core message—art as a form of emotional expression—and serve as another step toward social change and inclusion.

The new design system will help the organization represent itself more effectively at events and in public spaces, contributing to stigma reduction and expanding its reach. The souvenir line will also support fundraising efforts by engaging sponsors and generating resources for services aimed at the center’s target audiences.

The updated logo and identity will ensure consistent communication, enhance recognition, and convey the organization’s values and mission. It will help the center stand out among similar service providers. Branded materials and products will enable clearer, broader outreach, support education, and attract new clients. During events, they will foster more interaction and present the organization as modern and trustworthy. Souvenirs are expected to play a key role in attracting sponsors and securing funding for ongoing activities.

The project will also strengthen the workshop’s competitive position and support its integration into both the Lithuanian and international markets, fostering a culture of conscious consumption rooted in aesthetics, sustainability, and social impact. The design solutions - including the object collection and its packaging - will serve as tools for driving social change.

By involving people with psychosocial disabilities in the creative process, the project will promote employment, challenge societal stereotypes, and offer participants meaningful opportunities to contribute to product development. This will help reduce social exclusion and foster deeper inclusion.

The design work will become a platform for open and honest dialogue about mental health and disability. The object collection will be used to address sensitive topics that are often overlooked in society, encouraging greater understanding, empathy, and tolerance. Moreover, the packaging will carry a clear social message: people with psychosocial disabilities can and want to be visible in the labor market, creating something beautiful, valuable, and sought-after - taking one more step toward inclusion and lasting social change.

Dineta is an information technology company founded in 2008, specializing in business management solutions - particularly cloud-based accounting software. The company provides tailored IT systems for retail, wholesale, and service sectors.

As part of the Design Wings initiative, Dineta’s accounting system and website have been redesigned to improve user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), creating a more modern, accessible, visually appealing, and functional digital environment. The current system’s complexity and lack of intuitiveness deepen the digital divide - especially for small and regional businesses, NGOs, seniors, and people with disabilities who may lack the skills to navigate digital services smoothly.

The improved design solutions will make it easier for these users to access the accounting system and find the information they need, helping reduce digital exclusion, enhance financial literacy, and promote transparency. In doing so, the project will strengthen social impact by enabling diverse social groups to participate more effectively in economic activity. A clearer, more user-friendly environment will reduce stress, build trust in digital tools, and foster stronger community engagement and long-term positive change.
