Galway’s European Capital of Culture project has initiated a “rebranding” exercise to restore confidence in the controversial project. A new logo representing a “new bolder and more vibrant” Galway “2.020” and a “vibrant new colour palette... inspired by the landscape” was unveiled at an “engagement event” on Thursday evening. Galway 2020 chief executive Patricia Philbin said that the briefing document was giving “general bullet points” to the cultural partners, and the project was “not prescribing answers”. She also said that a sub-committee of the Galway 2020 board was working on business partnerships, and was still working towards its target of €7 million in sponsorship. The overall budget for the project was €46 million, but the project recently indicated this may be cut to €39 million.
