The Poetry Translation Centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a new logo and website, designed by Tim Jukes.
We are so thrilled to share our new logo and website with the world!
As part of our 20th birthday celebrations this year, we reflected on the past 20 years of the PTC and decided it was time for an update. The redesign includes a new logo for the PTC as well as the Sarah Maguire Prize, which you can see on the Prize page.
Ecre Karadag, marketing and communications manager for the PTC, said: “As we enter a new era of the PTC and reflect on who we have been and want to be, we arrived at the idea of being a connecting force in the poetry and translation worlds. The logo is inspired by typewriter keys and lines suggesting both process and interconnecting shapes that can take new forms. It speaks to the nature of the Poetry Translation Centre as a hub and our emphasis on the de-centring of English as a way of challenging hierarchies of language.”
Nariman Youssef, the new director of the PTC, said: “I feel quite lucky to have joined the PTC just before the rebrand and during its 20th birthday year. It feels like I’ve stepped right into the next chapter of this wonderful organisation. The new logo and website signal our ongoing commitment to presenting the very best of poetry in translation from Asia, Africa and Latin America.”
The redesign is funded by Arts Council England, as part of the PTC’s 20th birthday project grant. The Poetry Translation Centre is a National Portfolio Organisation.
