Fulbright Austria Redesign

We unveiled a new website and overall design at the 65th anniversary celebration. The website is straightforward, fresh, and easy to navigate, with a relational red and blue color scheme based on Austria’s Rot-Weiss-Rot and the American Stars and Stripes. The design allows us to emphasize what this program is about: people and partnerships. These bright people and bright partners with whom Fulbright Austria is associated provide the basis for our claim: Full of Bright Minds. It has been a pleasure to connect (or re-connect) with so many of the bright minds in our community over the course of our 65th anniversary year!
