The Vysočina Region’s Logo
The Vysočina logo reflects the basic communication principles of the Region, such as proactive, accommodating, and respectful approach. The image, which simultaneously functions as an accent on one of the letters in the text, visually embodies the character of the region – Vysočina. The logo’s color scheme (blue and green) brings to mind associations such as cleanliness, water, forests, fresh air, and the environment. Simultaneously, this color scheme reinforces the liveliness and the overall refreshing nature of the Region’s logo.
