Logo for 2010 Bologna Ministerial Anniversary Conference in Budapest and Vienna
The graphic elements of the logo – puzzle pieces of various forms built on
and fitting into one another – symbolize the characteristics and values of the
European Higher Education Area (EHEA) that the Bologna Process has been realizing, such
as mobility, ECTS, the Diploma Supplement, recognition of qualifications,
qualifications frameworks, as well as diversity and the cooperation among
stakeholders.
The
puzzle pattern also points to the fact that creativity/innovation, thus
playfulness, are important features of all learning processes. The three pillars
stand for the three study cycles of the Bologna Process, the two additional
pieces above them represent the possibility of future construction of the EHEA
and personal development through lifelong learning. Helvetica font is used as it
is easy to read, elegant, and in harmony with the graphic elements of the logo.
The whole of the graphic design intends to create a visual balance that is
pleasant to see. The logo of the conference was designed by Zsuzsanna Palman, a
fourth-year student at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, and selected from
the works of Austrian and Hungarian students prepared for a competition by the
Austrian-Hungarian joint Organization Committee.
