FiftyTwoDegrees recognized as icon for the innovative strength of Nijmegen
02 July 2008
The FiftyTwoDegrees Business Innovation Center has embedded itself quickly and firmly in the city scene of Nijmegen. Recently the City presented its new City marketing campaign and new chain of office. In both the striking ‘black tower’ is a symbol of modern architecture, industry and innovative strength.
Today Mayor Thom de Graaf unveiled the new chain of office for the deputy mayor and deputy chairman of the municipal council. The fourteen silver links in the chain contain the elements that are typical for the cities’ 2.000 years of history. FiftyTwoDegrees has its own silver link in the chain, between the old Market Hall, ‘Oude Waag’ and the historic Concert Hall, ‘Vereeniging’.
The new logo and slogan ‘Forever Nijmegen’ is the capital N, formed from a variety of important characteristics of the city. From the history of the old Romans, who founded the City, up through modern-days Nijmegen, a city of sports, science and innovation.
