IN-SYLVA EUROPE : Bridging Digital Innovation and Natural Ecosystems
The Brandbook
Meet the Blob & the Emblems in a short interactive presentation. Here, you'll find the origin of our logotype and guidelines for using it 
A strong & dynamic identity - A word from the creator
The IN-SYLVA EUROPE brand identity, crafted by the tvrs™ design studio, represents a bold vision for European Forest Science. Our comprehensive design system serves three strategic objectives: modernizing forest research communication, creating stronger connections within the scientific community, and driving excellence in European forestry innovation.
The Blob
Meet the Blob - the heart of IN-SYLVA EUROPE's visual identity. This distinctive design element embodies our infrastructure's essence through its organic, bioinspired form. Like the interconnected ecosystems we study, the Blob symbolically connects diverse research domains with one goal: adapting European forests for the future.
Its vibrant green glow represents our cutting-edge technological capabilities, from state-of-the-art laboratories to advanced data centers, all dedicated to excellence in forest science.
The emblems
IN-SYLVA EUROPE's service architecture is organized into four distinct brands, each leveraging the familiar scientific nomenclature of "in situ," "in lab," and "in silico."
Each brand maintains its unique identity while operating under the unifying "IN-" prefix, creating a cohesive yet diverse ecosystem of forest research services. These distinct identities are represented through our four Emblems, each incorporating the signature Blob design to symbolize their integral connection to the IN-SYLVA EUROPE framework.
The newest addition to our brand family, IN-EDU, represents our commitment to education and knowledge sharing. Its emblem features an innovative design merging an organic brain shape with cloud elements, symbolizing the elevation of knowledge and the continuous growth of expertise in forest science.
Our brand assets are designed primarily for digital platforms, reflecting IN-SYLVA EUROPE's commitment to a modern, sustainable approach to scientific communication. By prioritizing digital-first design, we minimize our environmental footprint while maximizing accessibility and reach.
The IN-SYLVA EUROPE design system continues to evolve alongside our infrastructure, with new assets regularly being developed.
We invite you to explore our comprehensive visual identity on the IN-SYLVA EUROPE website, where you'll discover how our brand elements work together to tell our story of innovation in forest research.
The Website
The IN-SYLVA EUROPE website (europe.in-sylva.com) serves as a dynamic digital hub, designed with flexibility and user-friendliness at its core. As we continue through our design phase, the platform provides essential resources and information for all consortium members.
Our forward-thinking domain structure (in-sylva.com) enables seamless expansion through regional nodes like france.in-sylva.com and newzealand.in-sylva.com, facilitating our growth both within and beyond the EU.
Every section of the website has been carefully crafted to deliver valuable content, positioning the platform as the central communication channel for IN-SYLVA EUROPE's mission and activities.
