Amharc ar fhreagraAs in previous Presidencies, a visual identity comprising a logo, slogan and branding guidance has been developed for the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. The purpose of the visual identity is to enhance visibility of the work of the Presidency through distinct and recognisable branding across physical spaces and digital communications channels. The visual identity of Ireland’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union emphasises the interdependence and interconnectedness of all member states of the EU. The total cost for the design, development and production of the visual identity is €36,757.33, inclusive of VAT. The development of the visual identity was carried out by a creative agency under an existing procurement framework within my Department.
