at the intersection of Cultural Heritage
and modern digital design.
We transform ancient visual assets into premium digital resources

The Academy
A cross-side academy for a modern use of symbology
Symbolikon Academy is an interdisciplinary research team that crosses Visual Semiotics, Design, and Cultural Heritage. There is a Think-Tank event for experts and academics on a topic concerning symbology and its application in modern culture and design.
Through the study of the graphic signs, rituals, and symbols of ancient cultures, we seek to discover new meanings to apply to modern communication.
We address the challenges and learning decks to extend meaningfulness to design and visual communication.
The Archive
Digital Encyclopedia of Symbols
A project designed as a space for education and research, bridging the gap between ancient visual heritage and contemporary design. We aim to offer designers and creatives new ways to explore the meaning behind the aesthetics: the symbology, archetypes, and ritual significance of ancient civilizations. At the heart of this project are our design and artistic creation labs: workshops where we experiment with how semantic theory can be translated into new visual languages.
