The name \"Annecy\" enjoys a widely spread image, that of an exceptional living environment on the shores of the lake and mountains. This name already carrying values of quality of life<\/strong> and exceptional setting<\/strong>, we deemed useless to illustrate them in the logo. We therefore opted for simplicity <\/strong>by creating a typographic logo.<\/strong><\/p>\n The main challenge of a city's visual identity is to make the institution and its actions legible. In this context, the logotype's signage function is very important. It is also about designing a sign that will last as long as possible. Annecy being the economic capital of Haute-Savoie, it seemed relevant to capitalize on the symbol of the Savoie flag, an internationally known sign, that conveys the values of this territory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"29173,29149,29174,29152\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]Annecy, capital of Haute-Savoie Visual identity for the city of Annecy.
\n<\/strong>Historically, Annecy was the capital of the province of Savoie from 1434 to 1659.
\nSince then, Annecy has been the administrative capital of Haute-Savoie, but also its economic and demographic capital.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]Annecy + Savoie flag = logotype
\n<\/strong>By including the Savoie flag into the word \"Annecy\", the word becomes a sign.
\nIt plays between readable and visible, in a striking optical alternation. The result is a logo whose simplicity seems obvious: Annecy is the capital of Haute-Savoie![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]A savoyard visual identity<\/strong>
\nThis logo is based on values that are specific to the savoyard identity: rigor, openness, efficiency, initiative, frugality...
\nIt takes part in the \"savoyard visual ecosystem\", in line with the other territorial actors, in order to strengthen the visibility of the territory at national and international levels.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ok6SCHnGfKU\"][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"29156,29154,29155,29157,29158,29159,29160,29211,29161,29212,29214,29215,29167,29168,29170,29169,29171,29163,29164,29165,29175\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]Credits:\u00a0<\/strong>
