BRAND DESIGNERS - Student Companies Discover Design

We teamed up with the German Design Museum Foundation to support student companies on their journey to a professional and well thought out brand identity.

More About the Background

The German Design Museum Foundation and the Dr. Hans Riegel Foundation cooperate to offer five student companies the opportunity to develop a brand for their company together with professional designers. This nationwide pilot project started off in 2019 by supporting five student companies from 9^th grade and up in a long-term workshop project. Professional designers help them create individual corporate designs, passing on knowledge about designing and brand development processes as well as suitable creative methods. This involves designing a logo and a slogan, stationary, and different communication media. With this, the Dr. Hans Riegel Foundation aims to provide targeted support to students at the interface between business training and art.

Alexander Kukla, Project Manager:

"In times of increasing sensory and information overload, design skills are essential know-how to effectively communicate content and messages, not only in the context of business."
