01 / Foundations

A community identity, rooted in a city.

LPDP Groningen is the community of LPDP scholarship awardees and alumni in Groningen, the Netherlands. Its visual identity helps members, the committee and collaborators speak with one recognisable voice.

A / About the brand

Why this identity exists.

Purpose

Recognised and trusted

Community publications are recognisable as LPDP Groningen and feel trustworthy — without being redesigned each time.

Positioning

A community, not an institution

LPDP Groningen is a Groningen-based community. This identity does not represent, replace or govern the official identity of the LPDP institution in Indonesia.

Philosophy

Heritage Editorial + Modern Product Structure

A warm editorial character that respects the city’s history, combined with clear, measured and accessible digital structure.

Composed, not loud

Confident without self-congratulation. Warm without sentimentality. Professional without sounding like a circular.

Approved From the website copywriting guide, PRD COPYWRTING.MD §4.

Ecosystem

One family, not one template.

The public portal and ecosystem applications share five core colors and three type roles, but keep their own names, functions and interface density.

lpdpgroningen.nl

Public portal

Editorial expression: generous space, narrative sections, sparse serif accents. Uses the community mark.

account.lpdpgroningen.nl

GroninID

Member account and profile application. Part of the ecosystem; not a separate visual identity from the community.

finance.lpdpgroningen.nl

GroninGeld

Finance application with its own product name and wordmark. Denser interface. Never swap its logo with the community mark.

Separate identities: The LPDP institution logo, University of Groningen, UMCG, PPI Groningen and other partners are third-party identities with their own permission rules. This portal does not distribute them.
