A new corporate identity for Sardinia. A brand new layout for the strategic positioning the Region as ‘quality of life island’.

 
 

The participation of the Sardinia Region to Expo Milan 2015 was the opportunity for integrally re-thinking the strategic promotion of our Region.

The task of developing a plan to present Sardinia’s bests to the world was given to the ‘Creativity Lab’, a design think-thank put together with the collaboration to the Universities of Cagliari and Sassari. This brought a new vision, that of an Island ready to take the challenges and opportunities to respond to a market always looking for unique experiences, to be remembered and lived again.

The chosen approach has ignited a fruitful contamination between local know-hows, aimed at finding new ways to make new space for their best products in the area of quality natural food, and to combining them with Sardinia’s environmental excellence. A new approach, which found a synthesis in four keywords: quality of the food and of the environment, sustainable innovation and active longevity, needing to be presented in a totally new way. And finding the right balance between tradition and innovation was ultimately the key to combine the region’s strong identity with the urge to speak to the world.

An important challenge, that the creativity lab made its own and empowered, completely in line with the strategic visions of the Department of Tourism, Craftsmanship and Commerce. The result is an original, convincing and dynamic image of the Island, strongly tied with the values of such an unique, mythical land. An ‘endless’ Island that expresses its intimate soul, timeless as always, but from now on also opened to a contemporary dimension.
