graphic design, art, typography and architecture

I’m always interested to see how type is dealt with in other scripts, whether that be Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Chinese, etc. So I’m pleased to learn that there is a contest open to all with Greek typography as its theme. Deadline is May 31.

In order to capture current trends in the design of Greek alphabets, the 3rd International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication and backpacker.gr invite Greek and foreign type designers to participate in a typographic exhibition, where the “Greek alphabet” (εα) is the leading actor.

The participants are asked to design Greek characters in order to set the following sentence:

ένα αναμφισβήτητα ξεχωριστό γεγονός

The selected entries will be exhibited during the 3rd International Conference on Typography and Visual Communication and they will be included in the exhibition catalog. After the conference the exhibition might travel to other selected venues in Greece or abroad in order to be presented to a wider audience.
