Pentagram

One Laptop Per Child

Brand Identity, Digital Design, Packaging

Identity, packaging, and laptop interface for the non-profit organization with the goal of providing laptop computers to all children in developing nations.

Pentagram has designed the identity and website for One Laptop Per Child, the non-profit organization with the goal of providing laptop computers to all children in developing nations.

The identity is a hieroglyph, designed to be universally understood, that utilizes the icons of the OLPC laptop interface, also developed by Pentagram. The website design employs these symbols as the basis for navigation. Each icon leads to a corresponding section of information: the laptop to a section about hardware and software, the arrow to a section about participation, and so on. The site launched in English but is currently being translated into many languages.
