Chemnitz University of Technology presents itself with a new logo with regards to the Capital of Culture Year 2025. "We want to make clear that our university is an integral part of the European Capital of Culture 2025 and very closely connected with the Capital of Culture year 2025. In addition, we want to underline, that Chemnitz University of Technology – after the previous diverse and substantial support for the title European Capital of Culture 2025 – wants to play a major role in shaping Chemnitz as European Capital of Culture 2025", said Prof. Dr. Gerd Strohmeier, President of Chemnitz University of Technology.
On behalf of the University Management, graphic designer Mandy Knospe from Chemnitz designed different versions of the logo. Two of them were presented to the members of the university for voting after an internal workshop from the university on the Capital of Culture year 2025. The new logo won 51% of the votes.
In the future, the new logo will be fully implemented into the university's communication – from the university's website to letterheads and the flags flying on campus.
In the future, the new logo will be usable in both multicolour and single-colour. It will soon be made available to members of Chemnitz University of Technology in a download area for the widest possible use. Materials already printed with the previous logo (e.g. envelopes and letterhead sheets) can continue to be used.
