Union of Valsaviore Municipalities

The logo and ceremonial banner for the Union of Valsaviore Municipalities. The concept grew out of studying each town's coat of arms and re-illustrating their historic symbols in a coordinated way, fused into a single, modern graphic composition.

The problem was one of representation: five municipalities with as many heraldic shields, drawn in different eras and styles, which no arrangement side by side would ever have made into one thing. The solution was to take from each the symbol that identifies it and redraw them all in the same hand inside a single landscape, where none of the five outweighs the others.

The result isn't a collage of shields but one territory. The mural crown keeps the mark's institutional character; the flat illustration and broad colour areas keep it legible small and printable on a banner.
