The logo of the Italian G20 presidency was born from a reflection on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing “Vitruvian Man”.<\/p>\n
The logo features the two primary geometric figures that contain the human figure in Leonardo’s work. The square, a sign of centering and stability, and the circle, a symbol of motion and the absolute.<\/p>\n
In the G20 logo, the square in blue is the representation of Italy, the circle in gold symbolizes the globe and the motion of renewal.<\/p>\n
The wording “G20” conceptually replaces the figure of man. Just as in the original work the human figure acts as a link between the worlds, we imagine that Italy in this important international occasion can act as the center of conjunction for the determination of the new “proportions of the world”.<\/p>\n
The characters that make up the G20 logotype recall and represent the typical shapes of Italian architecture and lettering. A pregnant composition, clear and strongly recognizable that succeeds in condensing in its elegance more than 2000 years of history.<\/p>\n
The “G” evokes Imperial Rome and is inspired by the letters engraved on the base of Trajan’s Column, one of the capital’s symbolic monuments.<\/p>\n
The “2” is a tribute to the excellence of Italian typography in the world, Bodoni. A neoclassical typeface designed in 1798 by the renowned engraver Gian Battista Bodoni. It is characterized by the strong contrast between thick and thin lines, synonymous with elegance and harmony.<\/p>\n
In the modernist “0” and in the rigorous geometry of the circle is distilled the essence of rationalist thought and avant-garde art, such as Futurism, which managed to give new life to contemporary visual culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The logo of the Italian G20 presidency was born from a reflection on Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing “Vitruvian Man”.
