What does capito Berlin say about the project?

"We are pleased that even after seven years the concept continues to work and prove itself in practice - regardless of whether it is an individual, team, summer or winter sport. Every sport has its own special features, and new challenges for the graphic designer and copywriter always arise - usually it's a matter of finding space for even more content or for meaningful photos that are accurate to the situation. That's where everyone involved has to weigh things up and work with them to find the best solution for the target group."
