Turbomilk — Russian graphic design company founded in Samara on December 1, 2002. Turbomilk is engaged in graphic design and user interface design. The founders of the company are freelance designers who decided on combining their creative efforts using the co-working model. Originally, the company became well-known[1] as the name behind the blog about icons, user interface design and project management compiled by the employees of the company.[2] Since 2008, Turbomilk is the organizer of 404fest[3] — the conference of web developers from Russia and CIS countries.
Important events
- In 2004 Yegor Gilyov,[4] a Turbomilk employee became the first Russian to ever win Pixelpalooza[5] the annual World competition of icon designers organized by the Iconfactory.
- The article from our blog “10 mistakes in icon design”[6] about bad practices in icon making gained the World fame and was translated into several languages by graphics enthusiasts.[7][8][9][10]
- The studio suggested its own mascot for the Winter Olympics in Sochi of 2014 — the Happy Mittens, which ranked as a solid runner-up after Zoich in the public voting on the Internet.[11][12]
- The official Twitter of the President of Russia features the userpic of coat of arms of the Russian Federation which was exclusively made[13] by Turbomilk in accordance with the icon design rules (for lines to match the pixels).

А Варежки попытались сыграть в игру, в которую никто из профессиональных дизайнеров сыграть не решился. Самарские ребята из Turbomilk, как и все, изначально знали, что если победят, то получат только два билета на открытие Игр и больше ничего, права придется сразу отдать.

The RF President's twitter is followed by over 60,000 people and bots taking into account only its Russian version. Beside contents, this microblog is also famous for its visual identity (aka userpic). Not many of you know that it was created by Turbomilk.
