About Diplomatic Relations Logo-ûntwerp

Diplomatic Relations is in logo makke foar de Dútske ambassade yn Vilnius. It ûntwerp symbolisearret de bân tusken Litouwen en Dútslân. Ynspirearre troch de trijekleurige nasjonale flaggen, waarden foar elk lân trije oanstreken tekene yn de kleuren fan syn flagge. De streken rinne as twa parallelle kanten, lykas spoarrails dy't út elkoar gean en dan wer byinoar komme. De reade oanstreken wurde kombinearre om freonskip en ienheid te fertsjinwurdigjen. It kleurde symboal wurdt op in wite eftergrûn pleatst en kin tapast wurde op briefpapier, bûtenreklame en bedriuwskado's. It werheljen fan it symboal yn in line foarmet in patroan.

Unique Properties: The logo was created for the German Embassy in Vilnius to symbolize diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Germany. Inspired by tricolor national flags, three check marks were created for each country using the colors of their flags. The marks represent two parallel sides, like train tracks heading in opposite directions, but coming back together again and being connected. The red check marks are combined, representing friendship and unity between the two countries.
Dimensions & Packaging: To enhance the visibility of the logo and keep original colors, it was decided to use a colored symbol on a white background.

Production Technology: The symbol of Lithuanian German cooperation is easily applied to stationery, outdoor advertising and corporate gifts. Combining more symbols in one line creates a pattern that can be used in many places.
Design Challenge: After drawing numerous symbols, it finally came to a modern and memorable logo design which will be used by the German Embassy in Lithuania for its external communication, events and promotional goods.
Research: A national flag is the most easily recognizable country symbol, so while searching for similarities between the two countries, the same patterns stood out in their flags and it was decided to find symbols that could seamlessly utilize these patterns, hence the check marks became a logical design solution.
Inspiration: Lithuania and Germany are connected by a long, rich history. Bilateral relations between the two states existed from 1918 and again since 1991 when Lithuania regained its independence just a few months after the reunification of Germany and diplomatic relations were restored.
Project Duration: Started in January 2021 and finished February 2021 in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Operation Flow: The symbol highlights the relationship between the two countries by visually uniting the colors of their flags. The logo reflects the moment when two countries diplomatically unite, moving forward together into the future. The colorful marks provide a dynamic symbol, expressing the multifaceted relationship between Lithuania and Germany.
