1. Brand elements
The brand design is more than a logo: It consists of
characteristic elements such as colours, typefaces and
a structure to help layout pages: the grid. Only the com-
bination of all these elements will result in an optimum
brand recognition.

1.1. Logo
The logo is the most important element of the Interreg
visual identity. The new Interreg logo was designed to
provide a robust yet unobtrusive look that allows easy
combination with other logos in co-branding situations.
In order not to interfere with other pictorial design
elements, and to give the European flag a graceful
presence, a purely typographic solution without any other
graphic elements was chosen.
The following pages outline a few simple rules for using the
logo. Please take time to understand how to apply these rules
so the logo always appears in a clear and consistent way.
1.1.1. Logo details
Logotype
The logo also exists in two versions with the text “European
Regional Development Fund” written below it. The height of
this line has to be the same as for “European Union” under
the flag. One of these logo versions should be applied if
“European Regional Development Fund” is not written
anywhere else on the page where the logo is shown.

1.1.3. Logo colours
The logo colours are derived from the European flag and
must not be changed. They are also the central brand col-
ours of the Interreg brand and they are used to identify the
brand as well as beyond the logo in all visual communica-
tion. The colours are defined for all colour systems.

1.4. Thematic objectives
The 11 thematic objectives to help deliver Europe 2020
goals are represented in the Interreg brand design by a
system of colours and icons. These invariable colours and
icons should be used whenever these objectives are com-
municated, especially towards beneficiaries and potential
beneficiaries.
At capitalisation level, it is recommended to cluster the the-
matic objectives under the three colours (only) of the three
EU 2020 clusters (smart, sustainable and inclusive growth)
and use the set of colours recommended by the European
Commission and used by all Cohesion programmes. Further
guidance coming soon.
