Nature Podcast: The Design Process Behind the Branding of the SDGs

Four weddings, a funeral, and the Sustainable Development Goal logos. How a chance encounter with film director Richard Curtis led to Jakob Trollb?ck designing the 17 SDG icons.

Graphic designer Jakob Trollb?ck remembers a 2014 meeting with film director Richard Curtis and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, then very much a work in progress, coming up in conversation.

Curtis, whose movies include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Love Actually and the Bridget Jones series, is also a UN Advocate for the SDGs. The meeting in Trollb?ck’s New York studio suddenly turned to the 17 goals, with Curtis telling him: “I think this may be our last shot of fixing a lot of the things that’s wrong with the planet. And I also think that these goals are going to fail if we can't make them popular. Do you want to help me?”
