A common logo
The logo of the Belgian presidency is the result of an international competition. Students in art and design from Spain, Belgium and Hungary were able to take part in this contest. These countries assume the successive presidency of the European Union from 1 January 2010 until 30 June 2011.
The logo, which was selected by a panel of experts, is the work of a young Belgian student.
The meaning of the logo
The dynamism of these three countries is symbolised by the fine cursive letters "eu" of the logo. They appear to be handwritten in order to invite all citizens to take ownership of the European project. Each version of the logo assumes the colours of the country's flag, but the addition of the word “trio” as an exponent denotes the solidarity between the three countries.
