WHY???!! rebranding REBRANDING?
what is wrong with you???? why do a faceless technocracy need a BRAND????
“ the very idea of a unified Europe seems to be under threat. Some artists feel the union needs to rethink its public image and refine its communications strategy to combat these attacks. “
“How can the European Union be valued by its citizens and be recognized as a force for good, rather than as a faceless bureaucracy?”
“ A German fashion designer had an idea for a unisex jacket that would serve as a ticket for public transportation in all 28 member states. “
HOW ABOUT DEMOCRACY AND NOT A FACELIFT???
“ A dance troupe with members from Albania, France and Italy proposed filming folk dances at European historical sites that could then be broadcast or viewed with virtual reality goggles. A musician from Hungary proposed a new anthem, and dozens of artists sent sketches for new European Union flags and designs for new euro bills and coins. Several proposals suggested the bloc needed to develop a new sense of humor. “
“ The ultimate goal of the session “is not about a happy, clappy symbol, song or gesture” to sum up the benefits of a united Europe, Mr. Tillmans said. “It is about coming to a deeper understanding of how this misinformation around the E.U. works and how can we counter nationalism.” “
DEMOCRACY, CAN YOU SPEAK IT?
“ When he saw the “nationalist wave crashing,” as he put it, with the campaign for the referendum in Britain on European Union membership, and subsequent attacks on the bloc by right-leaning politicians in other nations, he said, “I realized that there is an urgency to defend what I have enjoyed and what other previous generations have fought for. I feel that’s my duty as a citizen.” “
DONT DEFEND IT, GIVE IT TO THE REST OF US!!!
“ He added that it would be finished only when people felt “a sense of ownership with the goals of the E.U.” “
A SENSE?! THE MOST YOU CAN GIVE US IS A FEELING?
“ The European Union Is Under Threat. Artists Say It’s Time to Rebrand. “
