Fungia.
Visual Identity & concept development / 2025.
Fungia is a concept for a creative collective based in Copenhagen, Denmark, dedicated to building a platform for music and art where ideas and artists can find expression through collaboration and mutual support.
The concept is inspired by the mycorrhizal networks of fungi, which connect plants and trees underground. These networks redistribute nutrients and enable communication across the forest, strengthening the ecosystem as a whole.
In the same way, Fungia seeks to connect individuals, provide a stronger foundation for their creative work, and foster collective creation.

Structure & Ecosystem.
Membership.
-
Open & Inclusive Roots: Fungia is open to creative individuals working within music, art, or interdisciplinary practices. Membership is not bound by background or medium, but by alignment with Fungia’s core values and ethics.
Layered Involvement: Members define their own level of engagement. Some may act as occasional collaborators, the “leaves at the edge”, while others take on central roles as “roots and trunks,” shaping and managing the network’s structure and platform.
Contribution as Currency: Membership is based not on fees, but on contribution: sharing skills, time, ideas, or resources. Each member enriches the ecosystem in their own way.
Participation & Collaboration.
-
Project-Based Clusters: Creative output emerges either in collaborative clusters, where multiple members work together around a theme, project, or event, or as individual projects supported and promoted by the network.
Idea Development: New initiatives can be seeded by the Fungia core or organically clustered by members themselves. Forums and gatherings provide fertile ground for ideas to take root and grow.
Creative Outputs: These may manifest as collective showcases (exhibitions, performances, publications), cross-disciplinary collaborations (musicians with visual artists, designers with performers), or as a presence in the wider community (workshops, talks, and partnerships in the cultural ecosystem).
Ecosystem.
-
Fungia is designed less as an institution and more as a living ecosystem, fluid, adaptive, and interconnected. Like a fungal network, it thrives when each member both contributes to and draws from the whole, creating a resilient foundation for shared growth and collective creation.
Logo.
Organic Unity.
-
The first Fungia logo was designed to embody the idea of interconnectedness, where separate individuals come together in synchronicity through the collective. Inspired by fungal networks, in which mycelium connects plants and trees to share nutrients and information, the symbol reflects Fungia as a meeting point where creativity is exchanged and amplified.
The form originates from a sketch of orbs converging at the center, later refined into a minimal, organic mark. Its simplicity allows it to feel alive and adaptable, echoing the textures of fungi and natural growth. Beyond representing Fungia’s values and ecosystem-based approach, the logo is intentionally versatile, subtle enough to support any artistic output, yet strong enough to unify projects, events, and member initiatives under a shared visual identity.
Fungal signature.
-
The second Fungia logo emerged from a study of mushrooms, beginning with a illustration that naturally evolved into a signature for the project. Drawing inspiration specifically from the chanterelle, the design explores its distinctive curves and textures, translating them into a minimalistic yet recognizable symbol.
The result is a logo that preserves the organic essence of the mushroom while simplifying its form into a versatile graphic mark. This allows the symbol to stand on its own as an identity piece, while remaining adaptable across different creative outputs and contexts.
