Cit\u00e9co
\n<\/span>A visual identity for a cultural project
\non economy!
\n<\/span><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Cit\u00e9co is a project of the Banque de France, which result in the creation of a museum space dedicated to the economic culture. Its objective is to meet the strong demand for better access to the economic culture of the citizens. Fun and educational way, the mechanisms of the economy become comprehensible by all, through collective games, videos and multimedia installations.\u2028To transmit the values of this project, we chose to create a logo with round shapes to give it a friendly and fun look and feel, while pursuing a reflection on the creation of an original name, short and impacting.<\/p>\n

A shorter name for more sympathy<\/strong>
\nThe logotype is primarily based on the creation of the name \"Cit\u00e9co\". More readable and shorter than the official name \u00ab Cit\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00c9conomie et de la Monnaie \u00bb, it\u2019s both \"prominent\" and \"reassuring\". It provides a strong visual impact and facilitates memorization of the project by the public. This solution of \"naming\" associated with an adapted graphic layout, allow to create a warm and keen brand. This is an important asset to develop an effective communication and a distinctive and competitive identity among the Parisian museum offers.<\/p>\n

A logo that symbolizes the global economy<\/strong>
\nThe economic theme is directly symbolized by the design of the letter \u00ab \u00e9 \u00bb which looks like at the same a world map, symbol of a globalized economy, and a pie-chart. It\u2019s a sphere where latitude and longitude crisscross space evoking economic exchanges at the surface of the earth.
\nThe accent extends the shape of the world map and energizes the sign. Round shapes, lowercase font and bright orange color are biases that infuse a playful, human and cultural dimension to this logotype. The design of the wordmark is inspired by the Fedra font designed by Peter Bilak. Its qualities provide flexibility in regard to the geometric aspect of the pictographic emblem. The letters were designed and composed to subtly soften the asymmetry of the parties \u00ab CIT \u00bb and \u00ab CO \u00bb so as to place the emblem in the center of the composition.<\/p>\n

Data-visualization and crazy hairstyle<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s quite difficult to represent nowadays immaterial economic flows without the help of data-visualization. The logo \"Cit\u00e9co\" refers to a computer graphics \"pie-chart\". We propose to base Cit\u00e9co visual iconography guidelines on this type of representation, but by adding a few grams of creativity. Data-visualization, although relevant in the context of the economy, is a cold and impersonal language. Therefore we needed to humanize and embody these visual codes to give an accessible view of the economy. We chose to stage the mind \"Data-viz 'in an unexpected context: hair style and clothing of visitors to Cit\u00e9co!\u2028For the launching of Cit\u00e9co, the visuals of the ad campaign suggests that with suitable teaching methods, everyone may be interested in the economy and even take it taste. They also point out that humor, evoked by the game on the usual graphic codes of the economy (curves, histograms, graphs ..), support for education. The portrait were completed with the tagline \"Let grow your interest for the economy \u00bb which invite people to change their mind about economy.<\/p>\n
