We are pretty stoked on the positive feedback we received about our tweetzerland logo so we’d like to give you a few details about how we came up with it and most of all acknowledge the work of it’s creator!
The tweetzerland logo was designed by a talented designer: Darja (@gartner)
(full disclosure: Darja is the girlfriend from one of the tweetzerland organiser )
The brief we gave her was pretty deep: the tweetzerland logo needs to have a connection both with twitter and Switzerland!
Which bird represents Switzerland best? We though of the cuckoo.
For the typo there was no discussion possible, helvetica was the obvious choice.
Darja then tried to integrate elements of the Swiss cross as well, and came up with 3 propositions:

We finally chose the second one which expressed a more positive feeling, with the cuckoo actually tweeting away and calling for other tweetzers to join us!
So after a little more cosmetic work, the final logo was delivered!

We thank Darja for designing a sick logo for tweetzerland and we are glad you like it!
