About Diplomatic Relations 标志设计

《外交关系》是为德国驻维尔纽斯大使馆创作的标志,寓意立陶宛与德国之间的紧密联系。设计灵感源自两国的三色国旗,分别以各自国旗的色彩绘制出三道对勾符号。这些符号如同两条平行的轨道,先是分离,继而重新交汇。红色的对勾相互结合,象征友谊与团结。彩色标志置于白色背景之上,可应用于办公文具、户外广告及企业礼品。符号沿线重复排列,即可形成图案纹样。

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.
