20 Jahre “WIR” – Anniversary Campaign for the Munich Job Center

Project duration: December 2024 – November 2025

To mark the 20th anniversary of the Social Code Book II (SGB II) in 2025, MWIMMERDESIGN developed a standalone anniversary campaign for the Munich Job Center.

Under the slogan “20 Years of Us,” a fresh, colorful campaign branding was created that deliberately takes a slightly different approach to a government agency’s image: personal, approachable, and with a good dose of humor.

Client: Munich Job Center, government agency, over 1,000 employees

Task: Development of a campaign to mark the 20th anniversary of SGB II and its implementation across various communication channels and media.

Services: Consulting, concept development, anniversary branding, logo design, print design, editorial design

The campaign should have its own distinct character, while at the same time remaining clearly recognizable as a communication initiative from the Munich Job Center.

The Design

For the anniversary, existing elements of the Jobcenter’s corporate design were taken and reinterpreted, then expanded to include a unique visual component.

The result is a modern and colorful anniversary design that conveys a sense of lightheartedness unusual for a government agency. Typography, colors, and graphic elements create an eye-catching look without losing sight of the necessary professionalism.

The deliberately humorous approach fosters a sense of connection and turns the anniversary into more than just a number: 20 years become 20 years of “us.”

Visible all year round

The campaign branding was designed as a flexible design system and used throughout the entire anniversary year.

A central component was a series of postcards that highlighted different aspects of the anniversary and continually provided fresh inspiration. Various promotional materials and communication media were also created to complement the campaign.

A particular highlight was the design of the extensive anniversary issue of the employee magazine JOMIKO.

Here, the anniversary design was able to showcase its strength as a flexible system and create a distinctive, dynamic look across numerous pages.
