De Gruyter Brill Brand | De Gruyter Brill

Purpose Statement

De Gruyter Brill begins here! The merger in March 2024 of two historic academic publishing houses presented an exciting challenge in branding and corporate design: To create a story that unites centuries of tradition and excellence into one compelling, future-facing brand identity.

Launched live at Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2024, the new brand De Gruyter Brill features a completely new logo, visual idenity, brand strategy, blueprints for future campaigns and communications initiatives, as well as a consolidation of De Gruyter and Brill’s visions and values for academic publishing.

We began with the recognition that only rigorous research can overcome the pressing questions of our time. We wanted to underline our commitment to serving the scholarly community as a trusted partner: We are personal, enabling, honest and courageous in the dissemination of excellent research. The result, with a clever, confident logo, bold color schemes and playful geometries, is a luminous new look for the publishing house that sets it apart from its commercial rivals.
