Sustainable Economic Summit
Key Visual and Illustrations
The Sustainable Economy Summit is a central event in the business world that focuses on social-ecological transformation. It showcases sustainable solutions, ecological innovations, and social approaches from the business sector. Companies with decades of sustainability expertise are important partners in implementing this transformation. The summit takes place every two years at the decision-maker level and reached 4400 individuals online and on-site in 2023. It was the first time that the summit was organized across sectors by a wide coalition of transformative business associations and was under the auspices of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, represented by Dr. Robert Habeck. The German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU) supported the pilot event with funding.
Key Visual
Im thrilled to share with you the story behind the Key visual for The Sustainable Economy Summit. Inspired by the Summit's mission of fostering sustainable growth and innovation, I incorporated their existing corporate colors and curved arrow icon and added a hand holding a pen, seemingly drawing itself alongside the arrow to symbolize self-made progress and forward-thinking, This imagery reflects our collective journey towards a brighter, more sustainable future.
Icon Libary
Allow me to introduce you to the icon library for The Sustainable Economy Summit. Each icon within the library embodies a unique aspect of sustainability, ranging from mobility and tourism to food, water, finance, and beyond. The shape of the main logo has been incorporated into each icon, ensuring visual consistency and brand recognition. At the heart of each icon lies a hand, symbolizing human involvement and interaction, crucial elements in driving sustainable change. The hands are not just a passive observer but actively engage with the icon, signifying our collective responsibility and commitment to addressing these vital topics. Each icon is designed to be clear, intuitive, and visually appealing, making it easy for viewers to understand and connect with the diverse range of topics covered at the summit.
The Icon Library serves as a visual representation of the Summit's multifaceted approach to sustainability, where human engagement and innovative solutions intersect to shape a more sustainable future for all.

Speaker Portraits
At the outset of the project, I was tasked with creating individual portraits of each speaker for The Sustainable Economy Summit, including notable figures such as Robert Habeck. While the initial plan was ultimately dismissed due to the rapidly growing number of speakers, the preliminary design for the portrait styles were successfully developed as seen in the examples.
Although the project did not come to fruition, the process of developing the styles was both rewarding and insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring these and would welcome the opportunity to apply them to future projects.
Thank you for exploring this project.
