At the core of this corporate typographical sign is the composition of the two words "Lviv" and "Vienna", symbolizing the dynamic relations between the two cities united by one vector of development.

The logo shows the words ‚Lviv’ in cyrillic lettering and ‚Wien’ written in one line. The combination of the words depicts the collaboration of L'vivska Polytechnic and Vienna University of Technology. Although the universities have been working together closely for over twenty years, each university still has its own profile. Using each country’s particular language and letters symbolizes this. The line above the word-combination works as a kind of hyphen, which demonstrates that the bottom line is the cooperation of the universities.

At the core of the logo is the typographical composition of the combination of the first letters of "Lviv" and "Vienna" enclosed in brackets, symbolizing the universities' cooperation.

In the logo I tried to connect the two cities and also the topic of architecture. For me, the figure ground plan is a perfect symbol for urbanism and architecture. It gives an overview of a certain area and you can get a feeling for different spaces. Thus I took two main areas of the cities and put them into the letters L and V. It shows both the connection and the differences between the two cities. On one hand the letter is surrounded by the plan, on the other hand it is the plan itself.

The logo makes use of the matching ending letter of „Lviv“/„Lwiw“ and beginning letter of „Vienna“/„Wien“. The interweaving of the letters represents the close collaboration of the two universities in Lviv and Vienna. The colors used are those of the two city arms.

The typographic logo design emphasizes the connection of the two universities by the shape of the ’v’.
The blue ’v’ links the cities' names with the color of blue, one of the colors of the Ukrainian national flag and the corporate color of TU Wien. The color of yellow completes the Ukrainian flag and the red color stands for Vienna.
Moreover the ’v’ seen as the pointing tip of a vector represents the technical focus of both universities.
The ’v’ as the main symbol stands out whereas the completing shapes of the two cities' names can be seen in the background.

The logo includes and links together the names of both university locations, Lviv and Vienna – “Lvivienna”.
The aim was, to design a logo that solely consists of the letters without any additional elements.
In the final design the letters compose a pattern that looks like a construction during its building process, the quintessence of architectural production and a symbol for a prosperous future of the collaboration.

The logo consists of two arrows which, combined with a human silhoutte, create an eye. At the same time, the arrows make up a „lambda“ for Lviv and a „V“ for Vienna. The rotary motion of the logo refers to the exchange between people but might also be interpreted as a river or a mountain, evoking an association with Alps, Danube, Vlatva and the Black Sea.
The lettering beneath this image draws on minimalist aesthetics but is also meant as a reference to the ukrainian railway – a wagon going in two directions at the same time.
