VISUAL IDENTITY
The visual identity is based on the idea of the Archaeology and aNcient stuDies Laboratory as a space where different academic fields connect and intersect.

The ANDlab logo is inspired by the dot rosette found in ancient Greek pottery, a motif with a long presence in ancient decorative traditions. Reinterpreted here in an abstract form, the rosette reflects the Laboratory’s identity as a meeting point for different academic fields. The central circle represents the shared core of the Laboratory, while the surrounding and intermediate dots refer to its individual fields of study and the connections between them. In this way, the logo visually expresses the interdisciplinarity, collaboration, and synthesis of knowledge that lie at the heart of ANDlab.
