While the most known and celebrated inspirations from the Polish graphic design history is the 1950-80s Polish School of Posters, there is also a less known history of great logo design and typography, which we only started discovering recently. Nowadays Poland has amazing and internationally renowned designers in different fields - illustration, branding, typography and more. The community of professionals - individual designers and studios - is strong and friendly, we learn from each other and give each other advice, but also consciously build market standards together.

It's not unique to Korea; a one-sided relationship has no future, so please work with people who respect and acknowledge each other's value.

In Poland after World War II, many designers were active in creating graphic symbols. Due to specific political conditions, these projects could be much more free and artistic than in the West. Besides the Polish poster, it is the graphic symbol that is particularly noteworthy when it comes to design in Poland.

Poland's design culture is deeply rooted in its rich history and traditions, blending modern aesthetics with folk art. One aspect that people from other countries might not know is the strong influence of Polish Poster Art, which emerged in the mid-20th century and is characterized by its unique combination of simplicity, bold colors, and surreal elements. Additionally, Polish designers often draw inspiration from the country's turbulent history and diverse architecture, creating works that are both innovative and reflective of Poland's cultural heritage.
