The logo of the German Pavilion borrows from the polygonal shape of the architecture.
The individual structures are interlinked, hold each other in place and, together, create the impression of a multi-faceted, futuristic city. With its three stable yet floating cubes in the colours of Germany’s flag (black, red and gold), the pavilion logo is a direct reference to the core idea behind balancity: the need to preserve and balance urban diversity.
Transparent surfaces will make for a three-dimensionality that exudes openness and lightness and reveal that the inside of the German Pavilion offers visitors a variety of unusual spaces where they can experience, see and comprehend lots of new things.
Next to the Latin script name, "balancity" (a made-up word combining "balance" and "city"), the logo displays the Chinese word 和谐都市 (hexie dushi), which literally translates as "the harmonious metropolis".
