Challenge
GeekSocks creates products featuring heroes that generations have grown up with. Each series has its own style, history and loyal fans. The products had to meet the requirements of both the licensors and production.
- many licensed series, each with a different visual style
- staying true to the original characters and their personalities
- very different media: knitwear, metal, foil, large format
- technical limitations of sock and pin production
- a consistent look across the brand’s entire range

Solution
Over the years of our collaboration, we have prepared more than a hundred files – from single designs to complete collections. Some were created for GeekSocks itself, others for the clients the brand works with.
- sock designs for the Bolek and Lolek, Tytus, Romek and A’Tomek, Emilka Sza, Kajko and Kokosz, Baltazar Gąbka series and many more
- Tytus, Romek and A’Tomek pins – including the bathtub plane (wannolot), Tytus and Rozalia
- stickers for individual series
- sock labels and pin labels
- Kajko and Kokosz magnet
- illustrated banners and a comic-style roll-up
- T-shirt designs
- 2 logos
- company stamp
- product photos and packshots
From design to shelf
Every design was prepared to go straight into production – taking into account the manufacturing technique and the format of the medium.
A new series: Cthulhu and the Unicorn
Our collaboration went beyond the classics. We also helped bring to life a brand-new original series in a dark fantasy style – Cthulhu and the Unicorn.
