Strekosa Design
where Sport meets Art
We turn gymnastics events into unforgettable stories and visuals – since 2014.

Art that captures the Soul of Sport.

Strekosa Design is an artist-run studio focused on rhythmic gymnastics illustration and event branding. We help tournaments, clubs and athletes look as inspiring as their performances – on the competition floor, on the podium and across social media.

Strekosa” means “dragonfly” – a symbol of lightness and grace. This feeling of movement and freedom is what we try to bring into every project we create together with you.

From Fan Art to Global Arenas: A Passion that Elevates Every Event

The first Strekosa illustrations appeared back in 2012 — they were original drawings created for fan communities and to celebrate rhythmic gymnastics stars. I drew for a gymnastics blog, regularly attending and covering competitions as an independent journalist.

Through deep involvement in the sport — both as a fan and a blogger — I brought together my profession and my passion, design and gymnastics, into a single project: Strekosa Design. What began as a personal fascination with the artistry of gymnastics evolved into intricate, ornamental visuals crafted to accompany competitions — allowing every spectator to experience this sport as something unique, graceful, and elevated.

In 2014, Strekosa Design took shape as an independent brand. Since then, we’ve grown from a small creative hobby into a studio recognized across the global gymnastics community. Over more than 10 years, we’ve collaborated with dozens of teams and tournaments, learning and refining our craft with every project.

By 2018, Strekosa was designing for major events — from the Russian nationals “Young Gymnasts” competition to the international Grand Premium Platja d’Aro series in Spain. Step by step, project by project, we’ve built a distinctive expertise.

Today, Strekosa Design partners with tournaments in more than twenty countries — from intimate club meets to prestigious international championships — creating visual worlds that capture the spirit of gymnastics on every stage.

Who Strekosa works with
For event organizers
  • Give your competition a clear and memorable visual identity on the arena and online.
  • Attract athletes, spectators and sponsors with clean, eye-catching posters and photo zones.
  • Save time in the busy pre-event weeks: first creative directions within 72 hours, then print-ready files delivered on schedule.
For club owners and coaches
  • Motivate athletes with diplomas, banners and merch that feel special and worth keeping.
  • Strengthen your club image across the hall, uniforms and social media in one consistent style.
  • Use ready-made designs when you need something quickly, or commission a custom illustration for important occasions.

Services — Event branding

Like a gymnast’s ribbon, our designs combine fluid elegance with precision. We can join you at any stage – from “we only have a competition name” to final print-ready files.

Advantages

Clubs, federations and event teams in different countries trust us with their visuals. Our illustrations have been used by the Spartak Gymnastics Federation, the GymStar gymnastics apparel brand and at the Sunny Cup 2022 tournament in Spain – and we are grateful for every long-term collaboration.
Gymnastics is our specialty.
We focus on rhythmic gymnastics and related sports. We understand the apparatus, body lines and rules, so your visuals feel authentic – not like generic “sports graphics”.
Experience and trust.
For 11 years we’ve worked with clubs and organizers in more than 50 cities across 20 countries. We’ve seen small school competitions and large international championships, so we know what can go wrong in preparation – and how design can make your life easier, not harder.
Speed without loss of quality.
Time is critical before a competition. Our workflow is built for that reality: you receive the first sketches in about three days, and we keep the quality high even when deadlines are tight.
Individual approach.
Templates help when you are in a hurry, but every event has its own character. If you need a truly one-of-a-kind design, we are happy to create it from scratch, listening carefully to your ideas and constraints.
Compliance with standards.
Our files come with correct sizes, bleeds and colour profiles (RGB or CMYK), according to your print shop or federation requirements. For big banners we choose resolution based on viewing distance, so everything looks sharp in the hall without overloading files.
If you need something right now, our online catalog offers ready-made illustrations and layouts. You can pick a design, receive the file by email and go straight to print – ideal for tight deadlines or when you suddenly need “that one beautiful gymnast with a hoop”.

Clients and Partners

Major organizations trust us as well. Our illustrations are used by national gymnastics federations, local and international gymnastics clubs, sports production companies and independent coaches around the world.
Let’s create magic together.
