Identity

History

CiTIUS visual identity has evolved over the years as a result of a process linked to its scientific and institutional growth.

Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of its foundation, in 2022 the center carried out a complete renewal of its visual identity, updating its digital presence and public projection through a new official logo and website.

Since then, the CiTIUS brand conveys a coherent message aligned with a new stage of consolidation and maturity. The most visible change appears in its color system: black acts as the main color, shaping a more solid, precise and contemporary identity.

The whole visual system is built around one essential concept: the bit as the minimum unit of information. In a context marked by high-speed data transmission, CiTIUS connects with the idea of fast response, linking technology and capability.
