Crest - Flag - Logo

The appearance of a city is determined by numerous factors. These include city, history and architecture, monuments, tourist and cultural opportunities, economy, trade and industry. This does however also mean that the city should appear with a uniform appearance in printed publications and presentations.

Corporate design is nowadays an essential basis for the successful marketing of cities, and like many businesses, associations and institutions, the service "city" also uses a logo for its outward image, and of course, a slogan.

As a municipal emblem there is of course also still the coat of arms, and Brandenburg an der Havel is the only city in Germany with a double shielded coat of arms, which is depicted in the centre of the triple striped, diagonally split flag of the city.
