New logo for ECB

Post by ART »

The official logo of the ECB it has been already modify with the added of his name in the languages of the new EU's states.

http://www.ecb.int/ecb/html/ecb.en.html

To notice that two new acronyms will go added on the banknotes: EKB, correspondent at Hungarian "Europai Kozponti Bank" and BĊE correspondent to the Maltese "Bank Ċentrali Ewropew" (varying with BCE is in letter Ċ with the circle)

I don't think they will do this before they will change the map on the coins and also on the notes (adding Cyprus). Or at least I hope that if they do the first, they will do the other changes too.

Ah, isn't that nice? They've included the Irish version "An Banc Ceannais Eorpach". Even though I believe Irish is not yet recognised as one of the EUs official languages.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

it was already on the previous logo:

and on the EU passports there is also Irish text.

these are the 20 official languages:

Irish is not one of them.

In EU legalese, Irish is a "treaty language" but not an "official language". Which means that European Union treaties are translated into Irish; also, I think, people can contact EU institutions in Irish and expect a reply in Irish. But Council/Parliament regulations, for example, are currently not translated ...
