Uniting the past and future to build a corporate identity in the higher education

Voronezh State University of Forestry and Technologies trains specialists in forestry, woodworking, automation, economics, design, and other areas. In 2020, the university celebrated its 90th anniversary, and in honor of this, management decided to rethink the university branding and update their logo.

The previous logo of the university was 10 years old and outdated. So, a new graphic was required, something more dynamic and suitable for a variety of uses, but still recognizable. It needed to both demonstrate the high status of the university in scientific circles and look appropriate on student gear.

We developed 4 versions of the new VSUFT logo, each of which carried an idea associated with the university. Each version was completely ready for development into a full-fledged identity, as the designers had examined the role of corporate identity in university branding and carefully considered the use of the symbols in different situations and media forms.
