Light Table

To explore the rich content of TLmag we introduced an alternative search and exploration tool: the Light Table. It allows you to explore the TL content by searching by color: pick a color and it shows you all images in that color range.

A poetic touch

TLmag is also featuring a series of haikus. Designers, artists and of course poets are asked to contribute a haiku which will be featured on the website. We made the sharing of a haiku on social media extra easy: it automatically generates an image of the haiku and thus preserving its formatting and design.

Celebrating the diversity of languages and cultures within Europe.

The new visual identity celebrates the cultural diversity in Europe, and emphasises on the importance of free press as a cornerstone of democracy. By taking distinctive characters used in the many different European languages and combining these, a new unique and recognisable visual language emerges.
