Wilhelmsburg is Hamburg's largest district. Due to bad prejudices and the segregated location, there are many residents in Hamburg who avoid Wilhelmsburg or do not notice it. This branding highlights the diversity of Wilhelmsburg and brings people closer to the district.

Through an ever-changing, colourful and modular pattern, made up of various overlapping elements, the interplay of individual different parts of Wilhelmsburg is visually represented.


A modular typography was designed, which always looks unique and is assembled by different individual elements. It reflects the diversity of the district and shows how individual parts of Wilhelmsburg come together to form a whole. To build up the individual letters with random elements, a script was programmed that processes the input text and converts it into a visual output.

To also highlight the cultural diversity of Wilhelmsburg, the modular typography is also implemented with other alphabets. Part of the branding refers to the names used by the residents of the district. Most call Wilhelmsburg "Willy", which in other alphabets, commonly used in the district, is written Уили (Bulgarian), 威利 (Mandarin), ويلي (Arabic) or Вилли (Russian).
