Kujundusmärk

Kujundusmärk is an Estonian term that translates to "design mark" or "design emblem." It refers to a visual symbol or logo that represents a specific design or a designer's work. These marks are often used to identify and distinguish the origin or quality of design products, services, or projects.

The concept of a kujundusmärk is similar to a trademark or a certification mark, but it is specifically focused on the field of design. It can be employed by individual designers, design studios, or organizations to signify their commitment to design excellence, innovation, or a particular design philosophy. The mark serves as a visual shorthand, conveying trust and recognition to consumers and stakeholders.

The specific criteria for obtaining or using a kujundusmärk can vary. In some contexts, it might be awarded by an official body or association based on a review of the design's quality, originality, or its contribution to the design landscape. In other instances, it could be a self-applied mark by a designer or company to brand their own design output. Regardless of the specific application, the primary purpose of a kujundusmärk is to enhance the visibility and perceived value of design. It helps to elevate the importance of design in the marketplace and to guide audiences towards high-quality design solutions.
