estonia_100_rgb-6654453

A creative contest was announced in July 2016 to develop the visual identity of the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia and the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The winning design by the concept and design company Identity is “Aastasada ja tasakaal”, or “Century and Balance”. The Estonia 100 logo “Aastasada” (“Century”) makes creative use of the numbers 18 and 100 to symbolise the one hundred years of our self-determination.

Use of the logo to earn revenue (e.g. on product packaging/labels):
