Challenge
A logo with no brand around it, and events around the world in many languages.
Solution
Together with the organisation’s team, I built the branding around the logo and carried it through years of congresses and events, from projections on the walls to clothing and certificates.
A short film of my own: Herzl, 1895 to 1902.
Paris, 1895 · Basel, 1897 · Basel, 1901. Then the words from the title page of Altneuland, 1902: “If you will it, it is no dream.”
Research
Every date, place and costume was checked against the archive. The balcony is 1901, not 1897.
The balcony
The balcony shot is a new angle on E. M. Lilien’s 1901 photograph, seen from behind.
