Wolne Miasto Kultury (Free City of Culture) is an artistic association based in Gdańsk,
that deals with various art forms such as poetry, music, and theater.
Its name refers to the Free City of Gdańsk (Wolne Miasto Gdańsk),
which was an enclave of culture and freedom in the past, suggesting that the spirit of independence and artistic pluralism may inspire the association.

In the logo design I took inspiration from various symbols.
The coat of arms of Gdańsk as a nod to the city itself.
Seagulls and waves representing the coastal location and Baltic Sea.
Crosses can also be associated with a cemetery - it can evoke a gloomy atmosphere conducive to art, as well as ghosts and phantoms, which are intertwined with Polish traditions and beliefs.
