About Italian Capital of Culture Lógó Og Kynningarherferð

Eitt merki deilt af tveimur mismunandi borgum (Bergamo og Brescia, sameinuð sem menningarhöfuðborg Ítalíu árið 2023) innblásið af poppmenningu og hannað til að þróast með tímanum. Öll rúmfræðin byggir á beygingu línulegra þátta með stöðugri þykkt, innblásin af byggingarstöngunum sem borgirnar tvær eru vel þekktar fyrir, með það að markmiði að kollvarpa staðalímynd iðnaðarborga og fagna viðnámsþoli þeirra í fyrstu Covid-19 bylgjunni. Hinn táknræni rauði þáttur er ekki aðeins 3 og B á sama tíma heldur getur hann einnig öðlast mismunandi merkingu og form í mismunandi samhengi.

The logo is designed to evolve in time and being used even when 2023 year will be over.

Production Technology
Thanks to its design the logo can be embossed, perforated, cut, embroided and obviously printed with any tecnique on any kind of support, as it's required to a mass event logo with a very wide spreading. There are no physical or digital limits to its coherent reproduction and recognizability, from black and white printing to digital video animation.
Design Challenge
The hardest challenge was to design a logo in which both Bergamo and Brescia could identify themselves, as they are two cities very similar to each other but also known for their rivality.
A public call was open from the two Municipalities to all the professionals, who have been asked to produce a huge amount of work in a short time.
The logo has been chosen from more than 50 proposals by the jury chaired by Antonio Romano (Inarea), one of the most appreciated professional in visual identity.
Research
As two different cities were about to become together a jointed Italian Capital of Culture, the first choice has been to avoid any cultural symbol of one of the two cities.
Only the colors are inspired by the two municipal coats of arms: blue and red for Brescia, yellow and red for Bergamo.
The design team has been looking for some kind of "pop" logo, taking inspiration from big international sport events, as we believe that Culture has to overcome any barrier and become everyone's patrimony.
Inspiration
The whole geometric construction is based on the curvature of linear elements of constant thickness, inspired by the building rods (strong and resilient, they bend but they do not break, as Bergamo and Brescia did during the very first Covid wave) for which the cities are well known. The objective was to overcome the stereotypes of industrial cities and prove that Bergamo and Brescia have a lot to say when it comes to culture.
Project Duration
The logo has been launched in december 2021 and it will be used in its release versione until the end of 2023. The evolved version of the logo will to be adopted from the end of year 2023 as a legacy for future cultural events.
Operation Flow
The logo has been launched in december 2021 and it will be used in its release versione until the end of 2023. The evolved version of the logo will to be adopted from the end of year 2023 as a legacy for future cultural events.
The most recognizable sign of the logo (the red 3/B element) is designed to survive after year 2023 will be over and to be completed with different shapes in different contexts.
It's a versatile and anthropomorphic sign that generates empathy and can play different roles.
