UNOPS – Gender Dialogues
With the adoption of Sustainable Development Goal 5 by the UN General Assembly in 2015, gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls has achieved an unprecedented place at the centre of the global Agenda 2030. The first of a series of dialogues on driving gender equality forward was held at UN City in Copenhagen. Co-hosted by UNOPS and the Embassies of Australia, Ireland and Norway to Denmark, the event was joined by a panel of influential voices from public and private sectors, as well as civil society.

The Gender Dialogues team wanted a logo that was inclusive of all genders without using expected gender figures and symbols. This was a bit of challenge to try and communicate inclusivity, but in a way that may not be immediately recognizable. The initial sketches steered away from any gender forms, but it was still not communicating the intended message. I began to brainstorm if we could use typography in a creative way to create the imagery they wanted to capture.
The final logo utilized the curves of the letters “g” and “d” to form the shoulders of people with strategically placed circles on those curves to represent heads. By linking together the curves of the letters it created the unity they aimed to capture. The result was a logo that represented both the organization, but also their mission of gender equality.
