Simonhofer Creative designed the voting poster against the Ozeanium in Basel
In collaboration with the Fondation Franz Weber, Creative Director Simon Hofer developed the concept for the «No to the Ozeanium» poster as part of the referendum campaign against the planned large seawater aquarium in Basel.
The successful referendum prevented a project for which thousands of protected animals would have been torn away from their natural habitat. The Fondation Franz Weber fought for ten years against the project initiated by Basel Zoo. The result of the referendum was sensationally clear with 54.56 percent of votes against and is celebrated worldwide as a sign against large aquariums and in favor of marine conservation.
