Did you know …

… that Ukraine’s coat of arms – the trident – has many interpretations; however, the most popular says that the Ukrainian word воля / freedom is hidden there? In Ukraine, we believe it’s the biggest achievement of any nation, that’s why we defend it so much [image from weareukraine.info].

In our newsletter, the trident was chosen as the text divider for its symbolic and aesthetic strength. While designing it, our layout editor (Linda) had the idea of making the long segment look like the blade of a sword, while the diamond-circle part makes up the handle of the sword. All of these echo with the imagery of a trident as a powerful weapon for self defence and symbol of invincibility.
