Jaszczurówka

The logo is derived from the outline of the architectural structure, with a visual reference to its natural surroundings—mountains and forest.
Its form is solemn yet modern and minimalist, reflecting the reverence of the place while maintaining a contemporary character.

Color palette:
The background is a deep green, symbolizing the dense forest surrounding the site.
The logo mark itself is rendered in a warm wood tone touched by sunlight, or alternatively in gold, evoking rays of light shining from above.

“Many tourists who entered the chapel simply to rest for a moment, sitting quietly in front of the altar, experienced God’s love and mercy. This chapel became, for them, a place of encounter with God and inner peace.”

This quote is echoed in the design through sunrays emanating from above the chapel—an allusion to faith and its traditional depiction in sacred artworks, which are an important element of the gallery housed within the building.

Typography is inspired by traditional lettering—chiseled and stylized in a Highland (Góralski) fashion, referencing regional heritage.

The logo is designed to be versatile and adaptable:

It can function as a full version with logotype and mark, or as a standalone symbol.

Multiple signature variations can be used depending on the context.

The design maintains its character and recognizability even in monochrome, ensuring usability across various applications such as print, embroidery, engraving, or woodburning.

Historical Context:
The Jaszczurówka area (named after the fire salamanders—called jaszczury by locals) was once owned by the Uznański family, prominent in the Podhale region.
In 1903, the Uznańskis decided to found a family chapel.
The following year, Cardinal Jan Puzyna granted permission for its construction.
By 1908, a wooden chapel—built entirely without nails—stood proudly on the slope above thermal springs, alongside the road connecting Zakopane and Morskie Oko.
