New year, new name: The internationally operating business unit BurdaCreative, which focuses on crafting, is now Burda Create!. This means that Europe’s most important platform in the field of handicrafts will appear internationally under one umbrella brand pursuing the clear mission of continuing to grow and expanding the sewing, knitting and crocheting segments.
Call for creativity!
"We have used the familiar letters of the Burda logo, which everyone immediately associates with handicrafts, playfully and recognizably in our new design. The colorful, movable letters are symbolic of the cut pieces on our seamstresses' worktables. With the call 'create!' we would like to encourage our customers to be creative and realize their own projects. Our products offer not only inspiration but also detailled instructions."
Henning Röper, CEO of Burda Create!
