In addition to the content basis, the so-called communication pattern provides the common visual basis for the Hamburg brand and creates visual recognition across all communication channels and media.
A coherent brand image used consistently across all levels of communication is an important component of the external image. The communication pattern gives the Hamburg brand a distinctive profile that creates recognisability. It is a binding guideline according to which the companies and institutions of the metropolitan region active in Hamburg marketing as well as other urban players organise their communication.
The central design elements are the red bow against a blue background and a logo that clearly refers to Hamburg as the sender. The design guidelines and design elements can be found on the media server (free registration required).
