Jerzy Janiszewski is the author of the ‘Solidarnosc’ (ie, ‘Solidarity’) logotype used by the Independent and Self-Governing Trade Union Solidarnosc (NSZZ Solidarnosc), which was founded in 1980.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the artist published on his social media profile a modified version of the logotype with expanded spacing between the letters and additional inscriptions:

  • one in Polish reading ‘zachowaj odleglosc’; and
  • one providing the English translation (ie, ‘keep distance’).
