In January the Embassy of Switzerland in China commissioned us to create the logo and VI for the second edition of the Swiss Innovation Week (SIW) slated to take place in June. This yearβs theme centered around distinguishing Switzerland as the βHome of Drones,β and bringing recognition to the more than 80 drone-related companies that call Switzerland their home.
Logo
With three proposed options, the chosen logo draws continuity to the Swiss Innovation Week 2018 VI (a brain-shaped logo) with the middle being a neuron to mark Switzerland as the focal point of the Home of Drones. The surrounding propellers visualize the drone through the four components of the ecosystem, and when translated into 3D, provoke the feeling of deriving from the Swiss cross. The final touch was bringing the logo to life in a 22-second 3D animation and accompanying GIF.
VI Application
We then let our imaginations run wild with the Embassyβs event staff to implement the VI into the event.
SIW 2019
The event took place June 12th-14th concluding with the Grand Reception in the garden of Ambassador Bernardino Regazzoni and Maria Cristina Regazzoniβs residence. The week was a great success, and even included a drone race over the Embassy! Read more about the drone race and the entire event by clicking on the respective links.
Special thanks and accolades to Tobias, Event Manager and Amy, Event Assistant at the Embassy. We enjoyed working with your vision, energy and dedication to see the VI actualized!
