Trenčín 2026 European Capital of Culture

The visual identity of Trenčín 2026 – European Capital of Culture is centered around a custom-designed typeface derived from the morphology of the city’s existing logotype. This logotype was deconstructed into smaller components that form the foundation of the typeface, reflecting the ECC’s role in transforming, developing, and integrating the city while honoring its history. The identity is versatile and applicable to various formats, events, and programs. Even in everyday urban communication, it remains recognizable as part of the ECC project. The multicolored design mirrors the creativity and diversity of the ECC’s impact. The Trenčín 2026 logotype features an unconventional semi-circular form, avoiding the formal and overly traditional aesthetics typical of similar events.
