도시브랜드 디자인 미학에 관한 연구

In the era of globalization and rapid information transmission, the city brand image has become an important means to highlight the city's cultural characteristics and comprehensive competitiveness. Successful brand design can not only enhance the city's popularity and international influence, but also become the key to shaping public cognition and promoting economic development. Aesthetics, as the core element of city brand design, includes multiple dimensions such as formal aesthetics, atmospheric aesthetics, symbolic aesthetics, ecological aesthetics, phenomenological aesthetics, etc., which are of great value to the construction of visual expression, cultural expression and social identity. This study focuses on the design of city brand logos from an aesthetic perspective and explores how aesthetic theory affects the construction of visual language and cultural connotation. Through literature review and case analysis research methods, this study selects three international representative city brand logos of New York, Amsterdam and Melbourne as cases to analyze their aesthetic characteristics and communication effects. In addition, this study also examines the role of aesthetics in shaping brand image based on cultural expression in a global environment, aiming to provide theoretical and practical guidance, and at the same time provide designers with new aesthetic thinking and strategic innovation.
