Wikimania 2022 - Visual resources
Build your own assets with our new look!
Have you noticed that we have a brand new look? We created a design system that will be used and evolved for many Wikimanias to come—not only in 2022. We decided to do this to make sure people all over the world who will be joining Wikimania in-person, at their locally organised events, or virtually, are part of the same experience. That is what creating a cohesive identity is all about. This year, we are unveiling a complete look & feel, identity, and line.
All these elements reflect key sentiments related to Wikimania and the Wikimedia movement, such as: Gathering, connecting, problem solving, co-creating, community building, thinking together, collaborating, learning, and celebrating. We explored and expanded on different colours from our legacy colour palette to add versatility to the designs and keep them fresh with every iteration. We also added a new digital element we are calling Wikimania Collectibles that you can create, share and collect for years to come.
About the tagline
You might have also noticed that this year we are using a tagline for the first time: Brought together by free knowledge. The tagline was picked by a panel of volunteers and helps communicate our creative expression in one line. It speaks to what makes Wikimania special, to the feelings of togetherness, and shared passion for free knowledge.
While the tagline was first developed in English, we invite you to translate it and share your translations with our community so we can help Wikimania become global with local accents.
Use the wordmark and tagline lockup when possible.
Illustrations
A wide range of illustrations were created by Mariana Garcia and Ben Hickey to help communicate key sentiments related to Wikimania and the Wikimedia movement. Feel free to use the symbols that are most meaningful to you and that relate best to the message you are trying to communicate.

Wikimania mark
Always use the wordmark with illustrations. The Wikimania mark comes in different colours, all which are part of the Wikimania colour palette. Use the one that is from the same colour family as the rest of your design, making sure there is enough contrast between the type and the background.
Colour palette
The Wikimania colour palette consists of three monochromatic colour schemes arranged according to their legacy colour: green, blue and red. Make sure to use colours from the same family when creating your designs. You can add shades of black to designs that use any of the colour palettes.

Typefaces
We encourage the use of typefaces as outlined by our Wikimedia Brand Guidelines.
 |
Montserrat
The primary typeface for Wikimedia is Montserrat. It is used in the Wikimania wordmark, and for all the branded content we have made. Montserrat is a versatile sans-serif typeface. It has certain humanist features, giving it character and warmth, while its large X-height and wide construction give it a lot of impact. It works well for big headlines as well as smaller paragraphs of body copy. Use Montserrat Extra Bold for titles and subtitles. Use Montserrat Semibold for subheads and body copy. Use Montserrat Semibold italic for emphasis. Download Montserrat. |

Internationalisation
Noto has been our default replacement for non-latin languages. Just like Montserrat and Source Serif, it is open source and free to use under the Open Font License, which is great! However, we also encourage you to find a typeface with support for your language/script that you think fits best. We want to be aesthetically consistent, and Noto has quite a different expression than Montserrat. If you think of it as a substitute for Montserrat, you should try to find a typeface with a similar character. |
