  • After joint design sessions with the client, the historical context was analyzed, and several concepts for the emblem and typeface were developed.

  • Since the fundamental principles of liberalism are freedom, market economy, and the state as a basic service, these elements had to be reflected in the logo.

  • The idea of the mark is to combine stylized initial letters of the Institute's name, a minimalist image of books on a shelf, and a reference to the trident.

Result

The resulting logo looks minimalist, conceptual, and restrained.

A closed voting method was used to select the final version, as several concepts were presented to the client. It would be interesting to discuss the experience of working in a team when the decision about the brand's visual image is made collectively.
