Typedesign and artwork for the open-source product FREE BEER by artist group Superflex.


FREE BEER refers to information freedom, not economic freedom. Originally conceived by Superflex and students at the Copenhagen IT University FREEBEER applies the model of free software / open source methods upon a real world project. In the spirit of the open source model the recipe is completely in the public domain and available to any person. Anyone is free to earn money from FREEBEER and all design and branding are also available. Designing a visual program for an idea which reflects upon open source and information freedom can not be a solution with rigid design guidelines. Other models of interpretation had to be exercised. The resulting solution builds on a vivid and colourful reference to 60's liberation. Practically speaking this means "free the colours". No one color has the ability to rule or over set another. Only one spectral rule governs: NEVER USE ONE COLOR TWICE. A true anti model applicable to all products and scenes connected with the project – from beer label, posters, advertising, spacial presentations etc.

A true anti model applicable to all products and scenes connected with the project – from beer label, posters, advertising, spacial presentations etc. ... Free Beer is a beer which is free as in free speech, not in the sense of free beer. The name plays on a well-known quote by free software activist Richard Stallman: “’Free software’ is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ’free’ as in ’free speech,’ not as in ’free beer’.” Originally named ’Vores Øl’ (Our Beer), the beer was conceived in 2004 by SUPERFLEX and students from the Copenhagen IT University. The project applies modern free software/open source methods to a traditional real-world product. The recipe and branding elements of Free Beer is published under a Creative Commons (Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5) license, which means that anyone can use the recipe to brew their own Free Beer or create a derivative of the recipe.

Jens Haaning (DK)

In 2004, Jens Haaning wrote Deutschland on the wall of a barn in the small town of Tewel-Moor, Germany — using the country’s native spelling. The name Germany immediately evokes its historical legacy, whereas in the case of Denmark, the associations tend to relate more to the present moment. A custom typeface was designed specifically for this purpose. The key objective was to avoid suggestive or speculative forms — to create a typeface largely free from cultural references, and therefore open to interpretation, shaped primarily by the viewer’s own perception. Since 2004, the work has been applied around the world — with country names simply translated into their native languages. While the strategy remains the same, the work elicits different reactions depending on each country’s relationship to its own history.
