Folia Scandinavica Posnaniensia is a journal published by the Department of Scandinavian Studies at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. The journal focuses on linguistics, literature, history and culture of the Scandinavian countries. For the journal, the Uniforma studio has developed a new logo, a set of covers, and a website.
The new visual identity system has been recognized by a prestigious professional magazine Communication Arts, established in 1959, with the 2021 Award of Excellence. Every year, the magazine organizes creative competitions in six categories, including graphic design, advertising, photography, illustration, typography, and interactive media.
The Uniforma studio is co-owned by Maciej Mach, a lecturer at SWPS University’s School of Form, and by Michał Mierzwa. A School of Form graduate, Maryan Ivasyk, and a student of the Design program, Emil Tybura, also contributed to the project. The designers explain that their goal was to design a new visual identity system, which would combine all five flags of the Scandinavian countries..
The design created by the Uniforma studio will appear in the October issue of Communication Arts, but it is already available for viewing on the magazine’s website.
