Results of the selection of works submitted to the Signs of Tomorrow 2023 review HERE

A time of change, tension, expectations, hope and action. A time when we define the shape of the future with particular attention. Do we have a real impact on the world we live in? An idealized world, a broken world, or maybe still full of beauty and harmony?

Ideals in confrontation with everyday life determine our cultural, social and personal identity. Graphic marks are not only an important element of communication, but above all they are a kind of manifesto of life, a symbol of the present, tradition and future. On the one hand, they communicate values ​​related to products and services, on the other hand, they are carriers of ideas and emotions.

We invite you to participate in the international review of graphic marks, logos and symbols whose power of communication is especially important.


The review includes three categories:

A / commercial logo (only implemented projects)
Graphic marks dedicated to products, services, companies, institutions, commercial and social campaigns, etc.

B / a symbol relating to an idea or cultural, social, phenomenon, etc. (black and white only)
Graphic marks on any topic constituting a graphic, subjective commentary on reality

C / animated logo (implemented and conceptual logos and symbols)
Animated graphic marks of any nature, including categories A and B
