Russian Maritime Law Association (or RUMLA®) is a non-profit dedicated entirely to the promotion and study of maritime law in Russia and worldwide. Founded in 2018, RUMLA’s main objective is to further the understanding of maritime law by lawyers and non-lawyers alike.
RUMLA® is a membership-based organisation, welcoming members from a diverse range of backgrounds related to the shipping industry. Among RUMLA’s members are practicing maritime lawyers, academics, representatives of shipping companies, brokers, marine officers and even students.
RUMLA® constantly keeps track of the latest developments in the maritime sector. RUMLA®’s members receive exclusive monthly updates as well as publications with in-depth analysis of recent case law and legislative enactments.
RUMLA® strives to build a comprehensive database of treaties, national legislation and standard forms used in Russia. We provide practical commentaries on each document which are then made available to the members of association. RUMLA®’s members organise and participate in events related to the maritime industry both in Russia and abroad. Rumla® prepares legal opinions and gives commentary to the media on matters of maritime law.
Work by FOR® – 2018-2019
Implementation & Reception
The new visual identity was rolled out across all platforms, including RUMLA®'s official website, digital publications, events banners, and merchandise. Feedback from members and associates was overwhelmingly positive. The logo, especially, was praised for its symbolic representation and distinctiveness.
Conclusion
Designing RUMLA®'s visual identity was not just about aesthetics. It was about capturing the association's spirit and presenting it in a form that would resonate with members and the wider maritime community. The new design not only elevated RUMLA®'s brand but also cemented its position as a pioneering maritime law authority.
