City of Bad Vilbel – Hessentag 2020
Hessentag is an annual state festival that is also the largest and oldest of its kind in Germany. More than one million visitors flock to the respective host city, where Hessentag is celebrated over ten days. In 2020, the Hessentag was to be held in Bad Vilbel, but had to be cancelled due to the corona pandemic.
Solution
We developed a signature letter-based logo combined with a striking corporate design to use across all measures. A colour gradient underlines the formal language and whets the appetite for the celebratory atmosphere of the event. The catchy claim supports the visual language and presents the City of Bad Vilbel as a friendly host. Numerous on- and offline measures were reflected throughout the city.
