Cujas Law Library
\nA new logo for the temple of legal knowledge<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Cujas Library<\/a> is a library specialized in law, economics and political science. It is the heir to the library of the Law School of the University of Paris, whose origins date back to 1475. Since 1979, it has been the subject of an agreement between the Universities of Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne<\/a> and Panth\u00e9on-Assas<\/a> and today bears the name of Jacques Cujas, a great thinker of 16th century legal humanism. It is located at 2 rue Cujas in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the Latin Quarter and only a few meters from the Pantheon.<\/p>\n

With its 40,000 volumes, the Cujas Library is the first legal library in Europe and the largest in the world for French law. The Cujas Library is therefore more than just a library, it is a monument, a reference and even in a way the temple of legal knowledge in France.<\/p>\n

While preserving its heritage and identity, the Cujas Library needed to modernize its image in order to better respond to current communication issues. Graph\u00e9ine thus accompanied the library in the development of its new visual identity and its new graphic charter.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=\"62040\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61898\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"64212\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61964\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n

Logotype<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text]The previous logo [Cujas written in handwriting] was quite restrictive because the graphic charter called for a 45\u00b0 angle.\u00a0 The Library wanted a new logo that was more functional, but also more modern and dynamic, that respected its values and history, but also embodied its new ambitions.<\/p>\n

We therefore proposed the creation of an acronym that would represent the library and truly define it as the temple of knowledge.<\/p>\n

This acronym is made up of three components: the symbol of law through the courthouse, the symbol of the library through a row of books, and finally a representation of the Cujas library through the rounded glass roof so characteristic of its large reading room.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_single_image image=\"61719\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_gallery interval=\"3\" images=\"62050,61910,61916,61914\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\" el_class=\"masque-nav\"][vc_single_image image=\"61926\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_row_inner content_placement=\"bottom\"][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"61966\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"62042\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=\"62044\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61970\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n

Principles of composition<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n

The principle of composition is inspired by the logo. It invites to create and play with blocks of colors like rows or stacks of books. The result is an extremely simple, dynamic and modular graphic system.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_gallery interval=\"3\" images=\"61938,61942\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\" el_class=\"masque-nav\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_single_image image=\"61954\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]It is possible to insert photos between different books, or to use the same books to draw shapes and patterns.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=\"61958\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61972\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"62020\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61948\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61974\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61988\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"61990\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"62056\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_single_image image=\"62038\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][vc_separator color=\"white\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n

Presentation of the library<\/h4>\n

The Cujas Interuniversity Library (BIU) is the heir of the former library of the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, created in 1803 and installed in 1829 on the historical site of the faculty, place du Panth\u00e9on. Its current status is that of an inter-university library, managed by an agreement between the University of Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne and the University of Paris 2 Panth\u00e9on- Assas. Named after the Toulouse jurist Jacques Cujas, it has been located since 1958 in the street that bears his name.<\/p>\n

The Cujas inter-university library is specialized in legal sciences, with a documentary offer that aims at the exhaustiveness of the French production and at a vast representation of foreign productions. It also has important collections in economics and political science. Today, its collections include more than one million printed volumes, including an old collection of nearly 40,000 volumes. It also provides access to numerous electronic resources: databases, online journals and e-book collections have gradually enriched its catalog, in line with new documentation practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_column_text]\n

A reference library for legal sciences<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n

A reference library for legal sciences, the leading legal library in Europe, and the largest library in the world for French-speaking law, the Cujas library is the delegate of the GIS CollEx Pers\u00e9e for legal sciences. As such, its mission is to create and lead a network of legal libraries in France, around the development of research services. It has approximately 17,500 registered users and welcomes nearly 500,000 readers each year, 10% of whom are foreign visitors. Its public is mainly composed of research students (master, doctorate) and teacher-researchers, but it also welcomes undergraduate students.<\/p>\n

Like the inter-university library of the Sorbonne, the library is managed by the University of Paris 1 and is one of the jewels in its crown. Paris 1's commitment to its libraries is reflected in the project for new pages dedicated to documentation on the university's website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
