Background

There are as many as 86 national parks in Ukraine. Different flora, fauna, landscapes and water resources make each park totally unique. But visitors often miss the key attractions because they don’t know what they’re looking out for and don’t understand the uniqueness of each park and what they have to offer.

Describe the creative idea

So how could we design a logo which indicates all these key features in a way which everyone can relate to and gives every park its own identity under the same graphic umbrella? We realized a single logo with each park’s name below wouldn’t be enough. So we set about creating a unique one for each park, built using elements that represent a natural feature within that park…and united by a graphic look that all Ukrainians could relate to – our iconic traditional embroidery.

List the results

Now, just by looking at one of the park’s logo, it is like you are taking a look inside the park itself.
