Haiti earthquake
In Memoriam
Winner of the Graphis Gold Award 2012.
This design, aiming to evoke a rising from the ashes with the candle symbolising hope, was created to commemorate the tragic earthquake of 2010 that caused many casualties for the United Nations Mission in Haiti.
The candle and typography subsequently became the United Nations In Memoriam brand, an annual recognition of those staff members who have fallen in the line of duty.
