Heritage Council

The Heritage Council seeks to protect and enhance the richness, quality and diversity of our national heritage for everyone. It works with its partners, particularly at local level, to increase awareness of our national heritage.

Logo & Branding

With the move to its permanent home and new headquarters at the Bishop’s Palace, the Heritage Council felt that it was an opportune time to revise its corporate identity.

The Heritage Council wanted its identity to more closely reflect its core values and highlight the essential connection between people and their heritage. Our heritage provides us with our sense of identity and place. It is a vital contributor to our economy and provides a spiritual and social storehouse that we draw on daily.

Our new corporate identity is titled Inheritance as it marks our unique identity and represents our genetic make-up. The movement and lines of the print are reminiscent of topographical lines on a map, the age lines of a tree, the spiral of nature’s natural form, the hairlines on animals, aged Celtic patterns, and the natural flow of water.
