CC BYConsistent branding helps us to build our identity and be instantly recognisable. We aim to foster innovation and embrace digital change, and our branding reflects that by being clear and direct. On this page, you can find information about our branding and the elements that compose it.
The Europeana logo is used across our communications. We aim for it to be instantly recognisable, so consistency is crucial. Please don’t change, distort, recolour, or reconfigure it.
Title:
Public DomainBasic
The ‘Basic’ logo is used to refer to the Europeana Initiative or to the Europeana Foundation, rather than to one of its individual projects or products.
The logo is either black or white. Please ensure that you pick the version that contrasts most strongly with the background so it remains readable.
There are two variants for this logo, vertical and horizontal, each with their own minimum margin to ensure full readability.

Partnership and collaboration: You are working in partnership with us, with Europeana providing data and API access, or playing another major role in your initiative. You have a close ongoing working relationship or collaboration with Europeana in a specific area and need to reflect that e.g. in presentations on related subjects.

Title:
Public DomainWe work with two typefaces - Open Sans and PT Serif. Both of these are available for free as web fonts and align with our brand by being functional, accessible and modern. These precise and simple fonts align with our clear and welcoming communications.
USAGE
We use Open Sans in upper case for our titles and calls to action. Straplines use Open Sans Regular and use upper and lower case, as per normal sentences.
We use PT Serif for quotations. The elegance of this font contrasts the minimal aesthetics of Open Sans.
