documenta. Politik und Kunst
The “d” is documenta’s distinctive mark and the defining element of the communication media for the DHM exhibition documenta. Politics and Art.

Historical photographs of the major international exhibition are used, which are given a common identifying mark in the form of the “d”.

The form and colours pay tribute to the visual diversity of the graphic design of the international exhibition. A typographic element with the correct counting of the respective exhibitions is introduced as a supplement.
