Termoli

Brand Identity

Challenge

Termoli is a town with a long and rich history, shaped by continuous change. Throughout these shifts, it has shown a remarkable ability to reinvent itself and adapt to new challenges. Yet despite evolving landscapes and modern pressures, Termoli remains deeply anchored to its past, drawing strength and inspiration from its heritage.
The challenge lies in celebrating this duality, honouring a resilient identity while opening the doors to new possibilities. Termoli aims to present itself as a place where dreams can take root, where community thrives, and where both locals and visitors feel welcomed. At the same time, the city seeks to improve daily life by reducing traffic, easing stress, enhancing mobility and making its attractions more accessible and memorable.

Concept

Termoli positions itself as a starting point, a confident, empowering, and proactive city built upon five core pillars: Relaxation. Culture. Energy. Nature. Community.
To fully experience Termoli, one must embrace its layered charm: from beaches and traditional cuisine to scenic alleys and breathtaking coastal views. Each pillar ends with a full stop, inviting people to pause, breathe, and immerse themselves in the moments the city offers.
This identity extends into a series of pattern designs, each visually expressing the essence of a pillar:
Relax through rounded, intertwined shapes.
Culture through forms inspired by human history and tradition.
Energy through dynamic, rhythmic movements.
Nature through patterns echoes harmony and organic perfection.
Respect through interconnected shapes that symbolise shared impact and collective growth.
The concept extends into improved transportation services: frequent buses, tuk-tuk taxis, electric rental cars, and a citywide bike rental system. Making the city easier and more enjoyable to explore. A cohesive set of icons supports communication, wayfinding, and the promotion of Termoli’s most iconic attractions.

Outcome

Termoli offers a welcoming, accessible, and memorable environment for everyone, whether they stay for a day or a lifetime. The result is a unified, forward-looking vision that strengthens Termoli’s identity while improving quality of life. The town emerges as a place of belonging and opportunity, proud of its heritage yet ready to embrace its next chapter.
