ETHZürich

Brand identity, illustrations and posters for Zürich's Ethereum conference

ETHZürich illustration: a crowd at a conference in blue, red and pink

EthereumZüri.ch is a community-driven Ethereum conference at the University of Zürich. We designed the whole identity: logo, colors, type, patterns, a series of illustrations and the event posters. Bold enough for a billboard, warm enough to make people want to show up.

The brief

The challenge

  1. 01

    Root the brand in both Ethereum and Zürich.

  2. 02

    Stand out from the polished, corporate look of Swiss finance.

  3. 03

    Give the team a system they can apply on their own.

The work

Selected work

ETHZürich logo
Logomark construction: Zürich, Ethereum, Z and a speech bubble

A mark made of the city

The logomark folds four ideas into one shape: Zürich's diagonal flag, the Ethereum diamond, the letter Z and a speech bubble for the talks.

ETHZürich color palette
Chaney display typeface

Colors and type with a voice

Convergence Blue, Builder Red, Alpine Light, Limmat Pink and Midnight Chain, each named after the city or the community. A wide display face for impact, a clean grotesk for reading.

A series of textured, flat illustrations in the brand colors. People first, technology as a spark.

Key visual, out in the city

The key visual uses the full name as a graphic: huge, stacked and impossible to miss, from a billboard down to a tote bag.
