Heimat’s Unity Flags campaign shows a new vision for German identity

Unity Flags campaign by Heimat Berlin

The online tool lets users create new versions of the black, red and yellow emblem, choosing whether they want to incorporate regional symbols, details from the flags of 193 other countries, or other icons such as the rainbow, Black Lives Matter raised fist or Star of David.

Heimat Berlin executive creative director Tom Hauser says now felt like the right time to reassess the flag, coinciding with the 30-year anniversary of the reunification of East and West Germany.

Although it’s a significant day, he says it’s potentially lost some meaning for younger Germans. “This approach was to give the day a new relevance, and bring it more up to date in terms of how it is connected to German society – which has also evolved in the past 30 years,” he told CR. Hauser describes the campaign as an attempt to create “a more liberated, open-minded and diverse take on society and its symbol, the flag”.

Unity Flags –which was shared widely on social media, including by members of the Free Democrats – has prompted strong reactions from the German public. While it’s started conversations around national identity, it’s also attracted criticism from others who hold the Bundesflagge sacred, or who don’t subscribe to its message of inclusion.

“We knew this would evoke feelings with people,” says Hauser. “It was a discussion about ‘why are they doing this’ and ‘how can you do this, it’s our German flag and you are disgracing the flag’. But on the other hand people did show support on social media, saying the flag is a symbol of the German nation, and we might need an update.

“We never wanted to change the German flag, it’s more of a social media stunt to set a sign for diversity and open-mindedness in our German society,” he continues.

“We know what happened in the past – German people for sure have a burden on their shoulders which might be a little bit stronger than for other nations. So we thought it was a good opportunity to set this sign and choose the flag as a strong symbol, open it up, and give it back to the people and the public for everyone to create their own flag.”

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organ...

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne...

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
