Freie Universität Unveils New Corporate Design

Replaces previous logo from 2005 / Developed by the university's design team. Freie Universität Berlin has unveiled its new corporate design, just in time for its seventy-fifth anniversary. The design and new logo were revealed on Thursday during the official ceremony to kick off Freie Universität Berlin's seventy-fifth anniversary celebrations. "Taking inspiration from 'freedom' as an integral part of our university culture, the new design aims to visually express our dedication to free thought, as well as to translate our central activities of learning, teaching, researching, and experimenting into the very form of our logo," said Professor Günter M. Ziegler, president of Freie Universität Berlin, during the event, which was attended by around 1,000 guests from across politics, culture, business, and academia. The new logo and corporate design were developed collectively by colleagues from the design team at the University Library. The same team was responsible for designing the previous logo back in 2005. The new logo and corporate design make use of the open-source font Source Sans Pro, reflecting the university's commitment to making knowledge freely available to all.
