The history of the club is inseparably connected with the 9th High School named after Cyprian Kamil Norwid. It was there, in 1999, that a sports class with a volleyball profile was established, which in time transformed into a club associating volleyball players in various age groups – from youth, through cadets and juniors, up to the PlusLiga senior team.

New history

With the promotion to Plus League, it was time to refresh the club’s image. Building on the existing identity, we defined the DNA of the brand – taking into account its values, mission and vision for development. Using the club’s rich symbolism, we developed a new set of elements to build its new visual identity.

Dwa elementy dotychczasowego logo – piłkę i cyfrę 9 – połączyliśmy w stylizowany symbol. Uprościliśmy również zapis nazwy w emblemacie, aby „Norwid” był bardziej czytelny. Dodatkowo, nazwa została uzupełniona o dopisek “Volleyball Club”. Anglojęzyczny zapis ułatwia użycie logo przy różnych okazjach i odzwierciedla ambicje klubu do rywalizacji na poziomie europejskim. Całość oprawiliśmy w nowy kształt herbu, aby znak lepiej wyróżniał się na tle innych drużyn.

Many symbols, one identity

The biggest challenge was integrating the numerous existing identity elements. The variety of symbols is characteristic of the Varsity-style sports club setting – the aesthetic of school and university sports teams combines a sporty look with classic elements such as patches, illustrations and decorative lettering.
