EU’s 50th Anniversary Logo
Last July, the European Union launched a logo design contest for their 50th anniversary, an event that inspired more than 1,700 entries from design professionals and students from around Europe. Recently, the EU announced the winner of the contest: Szymon Skrzypczak, a 23-year-old design student from Poland.
Skrzypczak’s design is a type treatment using a different font and color for each letter of the word “Together.” The meaning is presumably that even though each country in the EU is different, they can still work together in harmony. As the winner, Skrzypczak received 6,000 Euros (7,667 USD) and the honor of having his design plastered all over Europe and featured in celebrations of the Rome Treaty.
“I almost not believe that I was able to convince the jury with my creation and can hardly imagine that it will appear all over Europe,” said the designer.
Second and third place entries were also recognized (see designs below). You can read a complete history of the design contest, and see the other finalists concepts here.

Good post. I learn some thing really complicated on different blogs everyday. Most commonly it really is stimulating you just read content material off their writers and rehearse a specific thing from their site. I’d would prefer to use some while utilizing content material on my small weblog whether or not you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a link on your internet weblog. Appreciate your sharing.
