New sign wel­comes staff and vis­it­ors

Jul 27, 2020

Nice to see: Matt shimmering metal letters now decorate the entrance area of our institute. Above the stairs to the main entrance, the words “Max-Planck-Institut für Marine Mikrobiologie” welcome staff and guests, making our institute more visible. The new design of the outer walls also includes the three large letters MPI at the top of the building, which are attached to the side of Wiener Strasse and can be seen from afar.

Next to the new words you can see the logo of the Max Planck So­ci­ety (MPG) – the Min­erva. The ro­man god­dess of in­ven­tions, art and sci­ence was already the em­blem of the MPG pre­de­cessor, the Kaiser Wil­helm So­ci­ety, and was in­her­ited when the MPG was foun­ded in the post-war period. Re­cently, our mother com­pany in Mu­nich has re­vised its cor­por­ate design. In this con­text, the MPG has asked all Max Planck In­sti­tutes – more than 80 in total – to place the Min­erva logo prom­in­ently, visu­ally un­der­lin­ing our af­fil­i­ation to the MPG. Our own logo will of course re­main.
