Challenge

As all cities, they have different layers and mean different things for different people. Our challenge was to translate the fact that Oradea is the city where anyone can find themself.

What we did

We created a branding concept for Oradea that highlights its unique layers—history, architecture, nature, and community—capturing the essence of a city where anyone can find themselves.

By blending the city’s rich heritage with modern growth, we emphasized its distinct character, from the Secession-style architecture to thermal waters and medical centers. Our design choices, including typography, reflect the city’s past while focusing on its bright, forward-looking future.

The key message that we build upon was that of “The city where you find yourself”. Starting from this important tagline and value statement we expanded into every aspect that makes the city what it is.

The city where you find yourself in Europe.

The city where you find yourself through Architecture.

The city where you find yourself with Nature.

The city where you find yourself through History.

The city where you find yourself in a Community.

Results

The project effectively captured Oradea's unique essence, blending its rich history, distinctive architecture, natural beauty, and vibrant community into a cohesive brand identity.

By integrating elements such as Secession-style architecture, thermal waters, and modern growth, the concept highlights the city's multifaceted character.

The design choices, from typography to visual assets, reflect Oradea's past while embracing its bright, forward-looking future, creating a meaningful connection with both locals and visitors.

The approach successfully combines tradition with innovation, reinforcing the city’s dynamic identity.

A European city that has been in constant growth. Being situated just a few kilometers away from Hungary, it is passed by the border linking highway.
In the Southern part of the city there are an abundance of natural thermal waters and medical centers. Oradea is a city that not only has capitalized on the benefits offered by nature, but also learned to live in a harmonious fashion.4.
Every city at its core is built by the numerous communities that inhabit it. Be it institutions, organizations or simple groups of friends, they contribute daily to the quality, attitude and mood of the city.6.

The aesthetic of the city is truly unique and offers a decor feeling. The city was rebuilt in the 18th century in the architectural style called Secession. The colors, combined with the geometrical shapes will help get “lost” in every alee and street.
Documented as early as 1113 and surviving the tribulations of time, you can always find in writing the important role that Oradea has played. Even though the history of the city is strong and still can be felt, the obvious perspective and investment into the future is clear.
In selecting the type, we focused on best transmitting the main elements mentioned before. The pairing with the complimentary font was crucial in building a branding with depth and flexibility.

Through rebranding, we successfully translated the unique essence of Oradea into a visual and strategic identity that reflects the city’s rich layers—history, architecture, nature, and community. By creating a fresh logo, selecting distinct brand colors, and developing a cohesive brand voice, we ensured that Oradea’s identity aligns with the city’s values of growth, diversity, and long-term vision.
The proposed design strengthened this identity, creating cohesion between visual elements and communication strategy, reflecting the professionalism and dynamism of the city. This rebranding project positions Oradea as a vibrant and welcoming city, ready to embrace anyone seeking connection, discovery, and opportunity.
