I am No Good Kid and I’m a designer.
PROJECT
After their successful mentoring program on real estate flipping and one-of-a-kind conference Real Estate Workshop Of The Century, which took place in O2 Universum Prague, Juraj Sutoris & Maxim Ponomarenko launched a new YouTube show.
They select one person to receive intensive mentoring.
During six months, this person becomes a millionaire.
LOGO AND VISUAL STYLE
lifeCHANGER, represented by a bold ‘porno banger’ visual style, combines Juraj Sutoris’s Formula Condensed brand font with graffiti-style elements.
Key symbols like lightning and crowns, representing Juraj and Maxim, are integrated directly into the logo.
Emphasizing dramatic transformation, the logo is flipped 180° to symbolize a complete life change.
PROJECT
VAMISOUND is a two-man operation focused on building microphones and studio equipment used by producers for Green Day, Dua Lipa, and many others.
With great attention to detail, design, and unique sound character, the Czech Republic–based company targets true sound engineering geeks, supporting the community through their FB group Nerdville.
LOGO AND VISUAL STYLE
The logo already existed but was in bad shape for modern usage, so we dusted it off, and while we were at it, I came up with a whole new visual identity that sets the brand apart from icons like Steinberg, AKG, or Shure.
I introduced the mid-century aqua blue color and patterns inspired by the hardware schematics of sound engineering equipment.
PROJECT
THE NOCOINER SYNDROME introduces and analyzes the nocoiner syndrome, a condition where individuals, especially those benefiting from the current financial system's Cantillon Effect, perceive early Bitcoin adopters as immoral.
This paper was written in reaction to the statements made by the European Central Bank about Bitcoin.
VISUAL STYLE
I had the idea of an academic study with a twist of punk aesthetics. I simulated a look of a document that came out of a damaged printer, so there is a dirt from the cartridges over the pages.
I also thought it would look cool, if there were handwritten notes on the sides of the documents, to give it a little human touch.
Juraj Bednár, cypherpunk and author
“When I had an idea about the Nocoiner Syndrome, I had a dilemma. The text was sharp and provocative – too good for just another blog post.
I reached out to No Good Kid with this crazy brief and a one-week deadline.
"Sounds fun. Let's do it." was what I heard back.
My original idea was to make it look like a boring paper that could have been written by European Central Bank. He said that’s boring (true!) and created something that looked like an academic paper but had punk energy.
What impressed me was that he instantly understood the assignment. No endless revisions, no hand-holding. Just pure creative collaboration.
The design didn't just complement the text – it became part of the argument. People loved it not only for the content but because it looked like something the ECB might actually publish, if it was not a dinosaur public institution of course.
We had to do reprints because we ran out of physical copies at conferences.
No Good Kid gets that good design isn't decoration – it's part of the message. And somehow, he makes the whole process fun.”
Dušan Matuška, Bitcoin educator and founder of AmityAge
“Cooperating with No Good Kid was a very pleasant and insightful experience.
His skill in turning a brand manual into a tangible piece—like the book we created together—was exceptional.
Not only did he apply everything perfectly, but he also introduced creative elements to the book that enhanced the overall reading experience and even added moments of humor. It was design and copywriting at its finest.
Communication with No Good Kid was smooth and consistently precise. Deadlines and deliverables were clearly defined, and we always knew what to expect—often receiving even more than promised. I'm super excited to continue working together on future design and branding projects to bring beautiful design ideas to the Bitcoin world.”
About
Artist or designer?
If van Gogh created 10 brand identities, they would probably look very similar. An artist is usually someone with one specific style of work.
That’s not me.
I’m a design chameleon. I can connect with the project, find its unique voice, and put it into visuals.
Just design?
I have 15+ years of experience as a graphic and brand designer. I spent 10 years in marketing agencies, working with strategists, copywriters, idea makers, etc., and learned a bunch of tricks from them.
So besides graphics, I also usually come up with claims, campaign strategies, or new ways to put the project out there.
Bitcoiner?
I was, until the boating accident… Since then, the least I can do for the community is organize a meetup in my hometown every month and work with the most awesome people I’d been watching for years on YouTube (shout-out Juraj B & Dušky M, 🤘).
Since spring 2025, I’m also Nostr-only.
Anything else?
I play guitar and drums, and I started my first band at the age of 9 after I first heard KISS. I love Abba, George Strait, and La Coka Nostra. And a lot of stuff in between.
I’m too Christian for my punk friends and too punk for my Christian friends. I’ve learned to take it as an advantage.
