Kulturelt FundamentThe identity is built around the concept Kulturelt Fundament — Cultural Foundation.Inspired by the Bauhaus movement and Operaen's origins in the 1920s, we developed a modular visual language that connects its history with a contemporary expression.The individual elements of the logo represent the people who have built and continue to build the institution — volunteers, professionals, performers and contributors of every scale. Each module has equal importance, coming together to form one identity.
