The biggest event of the year 

UN Designers & Visual Communicators and the Perception Change Project are teaming up to bring you what it may be the first open conversation about branding and visual identity in the UN system. UN BRANDED will be looking at how UN visual identity has developed and how can keep up with a world in continuous change. To answer this and other questions, we have put together a panel of experts to bring different perspectives to the issue:
• Dealing with branding in-house: Ziad Al-Kadri Team Leader, Branding & Graphic Design Unit , Department of Public Information, United Nations, NY
• Out-sourcing studios that shape visual identities: Giacomo Frigerio, Blossoming studio, Milan, Italy
• Private sector / branding agencies: Geoff Linsell, Managing Director at Moving Brands, Zurich
• The academic perspective: Stefan Tschauko, PhD candidate, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
The meeting will take place on Wednesday December 13, Room 22, Palais des Nations, starting at 2pm (Coffee and cookies offered!).

Making Health blossom

Many UN agencies have communications needs that can't be fulfilled inhouse. When outsourcing is needed, it's good to have someone like Blossoming: A Design House that doesn't just do cool designs that fit your brief, but that's also capable of bringing an entire fresh look and feel to your array of publications. That has been the case for WHO, but also other agencies like UNWomen, UNECE or UNAIDS have already benefitted from their work, and their Creative Director, Giacomo Frigerio will be with us in the above mentioned meeting to share his wisdom with you!

Visualising violence

#ENDviolence against children is one of the latest Unicef campaigns. For the campaign, they teamed up with Periscopic, a socially-conscious data visualization agency, in order to develop a global exploration tool that illustrates the scale of child homicide, bullying, violent discipline, and sexual violence. Visitors are invited to explore how the world’s children are impacted by each of these issues, and as they interact with the globe, they get a better sense of the universal extent of violence. And all this work was done pro bono. They really stand up to their motto – do good with data.
