Jörg Zintzmeyer is widely recognized for the design of the Swiss banknotes [from 1995 to 2016], masterpieces of both design and technical execution. The Swiss banknotes embody the signature trait of Jörg Zinzmeyer: his tireless pursuit of perfection, down to the last detail.
Zintzmeyer was one of the pioneers of branding in Switzerland. In 1973, together with Peter Lux, he had founded Zintzmeyer & Lux, with the goal to introduce – for the time – a groundbreaking new concept into the German-speaking market: corporate identity. When the company’s success led to a merger with Interbrand, the world’s leading branding agency, Jörg led the expansion of Interbrand into Eastern Europe and Russia, as always with a passion for creating authentic, value-driven brands that have the power to change the world.
