FUNK

Project
The visual identity for the FUNK cultural centre in Koprivnica was developed as part of the Visual Communication and New Media course, under the mentorship of Assistant Professor of Art Luka Borčić. FUNK was founded in 2014 by bringing together five associations with the aim of creating a space for young people and students, encouraging collaboration with the university and developing an independent cultural community. Based in a former military barracks, the centre contributes to the revitalisation of unused urban spaces and hosts concerts, workshops, exhibitions, film screenings and performances.
The visual identity is based on the idea of connection and the collective development of an independent cultural scene. This concept led to a puzzle-piece symbol representing the joining of associations and the formation of a unified community. Its simple and adaptable form allows it to function independently, without accompanying text, across a wide range of formats.
The system is applied to stickers, posters and tote bags. On posters and tickets, the concept is also translated into physical form: the materials are cut into puzzle-piece shapes, extending the idea of connection consistently through both the visual language and material execution.
