Fachhochschule Potsdam Identity

Fachhochschule Potsdam Identity

The identity for this German college, based on so-called emoticons, offers so many permutations that students and professors can choose an existing graphic device or create a new one to suit their personal or departmental needs. The same flexible and collaborative approach was applied to the college prospectus, the stationery and the signage around the college.
