Yandex for Developers (YfD) is a platform for networking and professional development in the IT industry. Its new flexible brand design system is based on typography that adapts common programming language syntax rules. 

Events across YfD are articulated through a custom generator of motion and static graphics, producing unique visuals for each type, from conference graphics to meetup 3D objects and casual event stickers, all complemented by a bright and diverse color palette. The consistent typography, marked subtitles, and logo ending in an asterisk-slash combo emphasize Yandex's digital flair and color diversity, seamlessly fitting both digital and print media.

Different YfD sections are segmented with distinctive visual features. A custom generative graphic tool is created for conferences. For meetups, the principle of creating abstract 3D objects is developed. Playful stickers correspond with the tone and character of less formal events.
