National Repository

The National Repository is an ambitious project aiming to create a single portal for finding practically all academic works created in the Czech Republic. This includes university theses, research data and many other types of content.

My logo design revolved around the idea of a permeable and open container, a frame shaped by its contents (a sharp edge around the “R” and a soft one around the “o”). It is intentionally simple and mainly text-based to keep it compatible with its parent institution, the National Library of Technology. At the same time, it must be distinguishable since it will be a self-sufficient entity.

I also proposed a dynamic version of the logo, which displays the number of currently accessible documents and is therefore constantly changing. I consider this a key metric because the repository’s value will be defined by its contents.
