Malmö makerspace
Developing a visual identity for Malmö's makerspace
Year: 2014
Malmö Makerspace is an open workshop and community for creative people. It is a part of a creative hub called STPLN, situated in Malmö, Sweden. It is a place where designers, architects, artists, and anyone who likes to be creative come together to work on creations, discuss and exchange knowledge. For over 2 years, I volunteered at Malmö Makerspace, instructing and helping people with projects regarding 3D modelling and printing, and laser cutting.
The makerspace needed a visual identity to help promote the place and increase exposure. Together with studio the Birdfactory a logo was developed that represents the characteristics and disciplines of the space.
Two versions of the symbol were designed, one for use in digital environments (1) and one hand-drawn logo for print (2)
