If pure whimsy and incredible innocence are on your wish list this holiday season, look no further than this effervescent treat from CDs Yannis Zoumakis and Manos Gerogiannis at Greek animation studio Odd Bleat.

Gerogiannis and Zoumakis: “The SNFCC is a multifaceted cultural center in Athens hosting an array of educational, sports, environmental, and entertainment events. We created this year’s campaign with a theme focused on Glowing Christmas Souls – enchanting characters designed to radiate warmth and joy, embodying the spirit of Christmas.
 

“We created this year’s campaign with a theme focused on Glowing Christmas Souls – enchanting characters designed to radiate warmth and joy, embodying the spirit of Christmas.”

 
“Like previous years, we started sketching the characters to give them form and create the universe they would live in. We wanted them to be magical, glowing, and cute, giving out a festive feeling.

“We designed everything in Illustrator, and to achieve the glowing look and feel, we played with blurs and gradients while keeping everything in vector format. This approach made it easier for the graphic designers to adapt the characters for various applications.”
