At the core of the logo is an extremely simplified Suprematism-inspired map of Moscow. The plastic of letters in the logotype is characteristic of mid-20th century Moscow architectural typography.

The main, two-colored and monochrome logos for various tasks

Two color schemes—a strict and a bright one—were developed for use on various printed materials of the institute. All elements of the corporate identity—the logo and it’s versions, corporate colors, typefaces and business documentation—are described in a brief guide.
