European Committee of the Regions
June 2019

Background
The European Committee of the Regions has a new logo. It is based on a redesign
of its former logo, with its main features being a continuous sound wave in the
form of arrows arranged around the European Union flag and its name.
Open communication through the visualisation of sound waves is the main

imagery of this logo. It gives the feeling of motion and the sending and the
receiving of information. The wave represents dialogue, the several voices of the
cities and regions whose diverse opinions converge at a particular point along
the current, as represented by the European Committee of the Regions, and
then rebound as they take back the messages of the European Union to local
communities.
The need to revamp the logo comes from the resolution made by the CoR Plenary
in 2014 to incorporate “European” to its name. The former logo has been in use for
the past 20 years, and notwithstanding the resolution, it was a highly opportune
moment for the CoR, nevertheless, to update and revise its graphic chart to better
correspond to the trends in visual communication and better reflect current
trends in the EU institutions’ communication and branding.

20 The CoR is composed of 350 members and 350 alternates from all 28 EU countries. Each national government proposes its
regional and local representatives (members and 16 alternates) – the national delegations. CoR members have a five-year
term-of-office, starting from the date of their official appointment by the Council.
Six commissions (sub-committees), made up of members and grouped by policy areas, analyse the legislative texts drafted by
the European Commission and draw up opinions, which are then discussed and adopted at CoR plenary sessions.

Created in 1994, after the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Committee of the Regions is the EU’s assembly
of 350 regional and local representatives from all 28 Member States, representing over 507 million Europeans. Its mission is to
involve regional and local authorities and the communities they represent in the EU’s decision-making process and to inform
them about EU policies. The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council consult the Committee in policy
areas affecting regions and cities. It can appeal to the Court of Justice of the European Union if its rights are infringed or it
believes that EU law infringes the subsidiarity principle or fails to respect regional or local powers.
