Viktor Hertz while being at home, in quarantine, playing around with one of his previous projects, “Honest Logos”, and got the idea to re-design apps icons to fit with the current situation in the world. His first one was the “Isolation” app for Instagram and that was the beginning of 30 icons so far and we are expecting to see more soon since it’s an ongoing project. Viktor and I believe almost all artists and creative people, find in creativity a way to cope with the reality of the Covid19, the lockdown and its subsequences and find an opportunity to channel all the horrors and bad things in artistry and humorously way.
