UPSC Centenary Unit

A hundred years of the Union Public Service Commission, commissioned to NID Haryana and unveiled on 1 October 2025. I redrew the logo, the wordmark, and the system that carries them. The wreath, the emblem and the ribbon were already the Commission's. The work was to sharpen what it had been saying for a century, not to say something new. Beside it sits a centenary unit, the 100 with the tricolour moving through it. It now lives on a coin, a stage, a lapel.

The hardest thing to redesign is something that's already right.
