Pamatai | Tiriamosios žurnalistikos premija is more than a prize.
It’s a statement that independent journalism matters. That those who hold power accountable deserve recognition.
We are proud to have given this initiative its name, its face, and its identity.
Our values have, over many years, taken on a physical form, a protective, solid wall.
It symbolizes resilience and responsibility. Based on this foundation, the identity represents monolithic barriers as a meaningful sign that gives the award’s name its weight and symbolic depth.
Monolithic forms, transformed into logotype letters, connect concept and inspiration with the visual system. While the core identity remains consistent, the color palette is renewed each year.
Minimalist compositions and clear typography keep focus where it belongs, on the nominations, the stories, and the journalism.
Some projects define what you stand for. This is one of them.
We hope Pamatai outlasts all of us and that its name is spoken wherever truth is valued.
Thank you, Thomas Plantenga and Milda Jasaite for trusting us. It was a huge pleasure 💚
