Bright Flags
A new symbol for Europe
Outdoor exhibition
Hofvijver, The Hague
Monday 31 May until Sunday 6 June
The current European flag, with the twelve golden stars against a blue background, was designed in 1955. Since then society in Europe has changed dramatically. Nowadays various cultures live and work together in a relative small area. What is the impact of this new, dynamic society with its diversity in culture, language and traditions on Europe’s identity? How do Europeans experience Europe? And how can that identity take shape?
Designers from across the world have been invited to consider these questions and to submit their ideas for a new symbol for Europe. More than 1,400 designs from 63 countries were received. An international jury selected twelve. These new symbols will adorn the flagpoles at the Hofvijver for a week.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a debate, featuring representatives of the European Commission and designers discussing Europe’s identity. The exact date, time and location will be announced on this website.
