A catalog exploring the philosophy of Kontrapunkt, a Danish design firm, that has designed the use of the Danish royal logo for a number of institutions. In the design process, Kontrapunkt works across existing design disciplines in order to create coherence between intent, function and experience. They granted a number of state institutions a contemporary expression combining openness with natural authority by using powerful expressiveness and the idiom of heraldry in a new way thereby giving the crown a new content. The crown that used to signal unrestricted power and, later, stuffy departments, but now signals a dialogue-seeking, democratic state. A beautiful guide highlighting the design programs that have reinvigorated this weighty historical symbol.
