Headquarters

A selection process led in May 2016 to retain three potential sites, where the move could be done quickly, in Ivry-sur-Seine, Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen.^[14] In early 2018, the construction of the new site started in the district of Docks in Saint-Ouen, moving from its previous office in the 7th arrondissement.^[15] The second building, including a hemicycle, was delivered in 2019.^[16] The first plenary meeting of the regional council in Saint-Ouen was announced to be held in March 2020.^[17] The site is served by Mairie de Saint-Ouen Paris Métro station.

Visual identity (logo)

Logo of Île-de-France from 2005 to 2019.

Official 2019 logo of Île-de-France

Since 2005, the logo of the Île-de-France region has been composed of an eight-pointed star of red-orange color next to the name of the region in lowercase. The eight branches of the star, already present on the previous logo, symbolized the eight Île-de-France départements.^[18] The creation of the logo would have costed 40,000 euros and the change of letterhead that it entailed more than 100,000 euros.^[19]
