Who is the author of the website design and logo?

The author of the new visual identity of the Estonian Literary Museum is the graphic designer and co-owner of Tuumik Stuudio OÜ Martin Eelma. The design and prototype of the website was created in 2019 by Ilona Kolossova, junior software developer at the Literary Museum, on the basis of a visual identity or style book developed in Tuumik Studio in cooperation with Urmas Sutrop, the director of the institution, and the IT working group. The initial development of the website was done in 2019 by Web Expert OÜ, and later in 2022, the software developer of the Literary Museum, Ilona Kolossova, re-developed most of the website.
