Madiar Birds
Military unit
Madiar Birds

"Magyar's Birds" is the informal name of the 414th Separate Brigade of Strike Unmanned Aerial Systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The unit has become a symbol of technological superiority and battlefield ingenuity. Its commander, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, is one of the most recognized figures of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The unit’s visual identity has already become part of Ukraine’s modern military folklore.

Main objective: To create a modern, emotionally powerful website for the unit’s public communications. The platform had to be convenient for civilians, partners, donors, and volunteers. Its core function is fundraising and informing about the brigade’s activities — while preserving the combat spirit and adhering to security protocols.

Project scope included:
– UX research and content structure based on target user scenarios (donations, news, contact),
– responsive layout with a focus on mobile experience,
– integration of payment systems and donation tools,
– a visual language based on authentic frontline materials,
– secure hosting infrastructure tailored to the needs of a military project.

Result: "Magyar’s Birds" received a combat-ready, yet technologically refined website that reinforces the unit's image, speeds up fundraising, and serves as a gateway for engaging with the home front. It strengthens public recognition, unites the community, and contributes to victory.

GRID SYSTEM
In this project, we developed a custom grid system that ensures clear content structure, responsiveness, and easy navigation for different user groups — from trainees to administrators.
RESPONSIVE DESIGN
We used responsive design. The interface adapts to the device's resolution — from smartphones to large monitors.
BUILT WITH MOBILE IN MIND
The mobile version of the site was designed first, with a focus on on-the-go usage, easy navigation, and quick access to key features. The interface is optimized for touch, fast loading, and readability on small screens.
USER-FOCUSED
The navigational structure alters between mobile, tablet, and desktop. We created an experience that works, looks, and feels like an app.
UAF SANS TYPEFACE
UAF Sans is a modern Ukrainian grotesque typeface, specifically designed for government communications and defense-related projects. It combines strictness, clarity, and high readability, making it suitable for official documents, military branding, and digital interfaces.
THE MAIN COLORS
The color palette for the website was based on the official Armed Forces of Ukraine colors, complemented by subtle orange accents in the details.
