Geneva School of Diplomacy campus

A new identity, worthy of Geneva.

EGM Group led the Geneva School of Diplomacy through a complete rebrand — then designed and built the premium, conversion-focused website that brings the new identity to life.

Scope
Rebrand + WebsiteIdentity & digital

From heritage to a modern icon.

The Geneva School of Diplomacy is a premium Swiss institution — but its identity no longer matched its prestige. We were trusted with the two things that shape how the school is perceived: its brand, and its website.

The old emblem was ornate and dated — a busy crest that struggled across modern, digital-first touchpoints. We reimagined it into a refined, contemporary coat of arms that still honours the school's heritage and diplomatic symbolism.

From that new identity we built a complete brand system — logo suite, colour palette, typography, graphic language, stationery and social templates — documented in a comprehensive brandbook.

Then we designed and developed an entirely new website: premium, editorial and engineered to turn prospective students into applicants.

Two disciplines, one transformation.

The Rebrand

A modern coat of arms and a full brand system — built to scale across every touchpoint.

New GSD website

The Website

A premium, editorial site built on the new identity and engineered to convert.

The mark, reimagined.

A cluttered heraldic emblem became a clean, confident coat of arms — four symbols, one identity.
