Global companies are making their departure from Russia in response to its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

For now, most of these exits seem to be temporary, but just in case brands like McDonald’s, Adidas, and Netflix are looking to cut off ties for good, Czech art director Václav Kudelka has designed some potential logos to make things more… official-looking.

The amusing, pun-filled project imagines household names saying dasvidaniya (that’s bye) to the nation via their logos as pressures intensify and supply chain issues arise.

Cheeky visual references of escape lighten up the mood, from a bird flying out of the “Unileaver” symbol, to the “Adios” logo reflecting a downward trend and a figure locating the exit sign in “FedExit.”

With all the heavy news out there, you deserve a giggle. Head below for some humorous branding wordplays that are pootin’ all those bad vibes, and be sure to pop over to Kudelka’s portfolio to check out more of his projects.
