A return to the roots, to the Group's history, and its projection into the future. This is the philosophy behind the rewriting of the Il Sole 24 Ore Group's brand identity, which chooses identity as a lever for evolution. A new name, a new logo: a message that affirms the depth of the Group's 161 years of history and wealth, projecting it into a new vision of the future.

Italy's leading publishing group in economic, financial, regulatory and cultural information opens a new phase by announcing a renewed brand identity, based on clear, symbolic and strongly recognisable identity choices.

At the heart of this evolution is, first and foremost, the change in naming from Gruppo 24 ORE to Gruppo Il Sole 24 ORE. An act of valorisation of the informative, cultural and civil heritage that for over 160 years has represented a point of reference for the entire country. Because Il Sole is not only a historical legacy, but a living resource, capable of driving innovation by guaranteeing consistency, credibility and authority.

This choice is accompanied by a new visual brand, capable of interpreting in a single logo all the assetsthat constitute its value: the only multimedia platform in Italy that not only includes, but also integrates daily newspapers, digital, news agency, radio, television, books, podcasts, professional publishing, training, exhibitions and events, together with initiatives and services for professionals, companies, business communities and institutions.

"Guiding us along this path towards designing our future was a fundamental principle: the need to represent, in an authentic and contemporary way, the identity and essence of our ecosystem," explains Il Sole 24 ORE Group CEO Federico Silvestri. "This is why we have decided to retrace our history and "make a square" in the link with our tradition, our culture, our values, our people. A symbolic square that becomes a brand and takes on body and three-dimensionality: a symbol of constant development in the continuity of authority, and that today reveals a composite heart that projects us into the future. Because designing a new identity means reaffirming who we are in the present and directing the future. It is therefore our heritage that guides our evolution'.

Visualising this philosophy is the new trademark of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group, designed by Studio FM Milano and inspired by the historic trademark, which represented the transition, in the early 1990s, from a newspaper publisher to a group that opened up to professional publishing, conferences and training. The brand of the time combined newspaper sheets with a keyboard: today it evolves with the newspaper revealing a world of pixels, an expression of digital advancement and, at the same time, of the multimedia nature of the Group.

Different colours for different souls

Starting with the monochrome institutional version of the logo, a version was also designed where each pixel is coloured to represent a verticality, a world, a specificity of the Group.

Different colours for different souls, whose multiplicity increases their value through integration. The new logo of the Il Sole 24 ORE Group contains all these souls: the newspaper, Radio 24, the press agency Radiocor, and IlSole24OreTV. There are also new logos for all the Group's business units, areas, companies and initiatives: Il Sole 24 ORE Professionale, 24 ORE Eventi, 24 ORE Cultura, and the 24 ORE System concessionaire. These are flanked by projects born from the synergy between the Group's competencies, such as 24 ORE Podcast, 24 ORE Salute, and 24 ORE Factory.

To communicate the Group's new brand identity, a major communication operation took place inside the Viale Sarca building in Milan, with scenographic coverings to communicate the new logo and the ecosystem of realities that make up the Group and its values, starting with the pay-off 'Present to the future', which also accompanies the video story of the rebranding and the communication campaign.
