Once the project had started , the four partner teams had introduced one each other and the first activities had taken place, it was high time to confer our project a visual identity. Therefore, an strategy was developed to choose a logo from the candidates
The designs had to fulfil the following requirements:
- depict the spirit of the project
- be adaptable to any form of dissemination (paper, cards, posters, email, website, social networking...).
- reflect the nature and themes of the project and must include the following motto: "Sense Your City".
- be entirely original, not breach any copyrights, and not previously published.
Each partner school ran their own competition in order to select TWO finalists. Participants had to submit both a copy in color and in black-and-white using DIN-A4 or folio format.
During the first short-term exchange of pupils in Barcelos (Portugal), which took place in December 2018, each team presented and explained its two logos to the rest of the schools’ representatives. Afterwards, each delegation casted 3 votes, one each for the three logos they think are the best, in order of preference (i.e., 3 points for 1st-best, 2 points for 2nd-best, and 1 point for 3rd best). Teams could not vote for logos from their own school.
In the end, the winning logo was one of the candidate designs proposed by the Greek partners. It was chosen by the Portuguese, Polish and Spanish participants for depicting the notion of discovering Europe and especially the countries included in this partnership through the human senses at a glance. As soon as the winning logo was chosen, it started being used in all products.
