Edinburgh Inspiring Capital Brand's visual identity

The visual identity of the Inspiring Capital Brand stems from the simple idea of inspiration and influence; how Edinburgh City Region over the years has inspired many people, from all walks of life, to do great things.

This has been captured not only through the phrase 'Inspiring Capital', but also through the use of lines as a graphic device. The 'lines of influence' create a sense of the energy and direction of the past, present and future ambitions of the city. Residents also feel these lines gently echo some of the distinctive physical characteristics of the city region - from the dramatic arches of the Forth Rail Bridge to the undulations of Arthur's Seat and the lines of the nation's saltire.
