Our logo was created by Naomi A. K. Quartey. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, she now works for a lettering company as a production assistant. For this edition’s logo she attempted to obtain a bold yet simple look. The logo has a futuristic feel due to the geometrical patterns she incorporated. The matching font is playful and turns the whole into a powerful symbol for Afroeuropean futures. For more information about Quartey’s work, please visit her website.
