•

Castle Quarter (or Várnegyed in Hungarian) is a district and an important cultural centre of Hungary's capital city Budapest, which includes different cultural institutes, museums, galleries, historical monuments and buildings, touristic and gastronomical destinations, festivals and also governmental and administrative functions.

The task was to design an overall identity for Castle Quarter Budapest, what synthesize all functions of the district, and applicable for multicultural, and governmental usage also.

The logo based on the view of Buda Castle from the other (Pest) side of Danube. The main logo (Várnegyed Budapest) uses two typefaces, and on the second line (in place of the name "Budapest") appears the names of different institutes and functionalities.
