Brand EU Logos and Campaigns

Independent and non political brand of the EU

BRAND EU® is an independent non-political and non-partisan BRAND programme about a United Europe.

The BRAND EU logo has been developed to be used in conjunction with other brands, across business, academia, campuses, the media, government and industry. Our core aim is to build a coalition of interests that helps build a strong brand of Europe at home and in the world.

500 Million Citizens

The European Union includes 28 countries and over 500 million EU citizens, more countries are in the process of joining.

Many of these citizens are willing to identify with the European Union but cannot find the right motivation or way to do it. BRAND EU™ has created an EU brand communications and marketing platform to help develop a strong EU identity. Using the BRAND EU logo shows support for a strong brand of Europe independent of politics and focused on its people.

The main messages of the Brand EU vision are:

A Peaceful, United and Prosperous World

Advocating for and protecting a democratic and pluralistic free society

The Brand EU vision can best be expressed via our 4 core missions and values:
