01. 06. 2026 The CZSO changes its logo and switches to a unified visual identity of the state administration

The Czech Statistical Office parts with its current logo and switches to a new unified visual identity of the state administration as at 1 June 2026. Changes will apply to the appearance of media outputs, social media accounts, and gradually also other presentations as well as information systems of the CZSO.

As of today, the visual appearance of the web pages changes – a new logo with a lion in a vertical band will appear on them. The appearance of press releases, news releases, presentations, and accounts of the CZSO on social media LinkedIn, Instagram, X, YouTube, and Mastodon including the form of individual posts will also change. Employee e-mail signatures will obtain a new form, too. Gradually, changes will also be reflected in other applications of the CZSO, printed material, publications, business cards, leaflets, as well as in the Statistika & My magazine.

The previous logo with a symbol of a horizontal bar chart, which references the name of the institution in a simple and clear way, has been used by the CZSO since January 2012. The winning design (of the previous logo) by Jiří Toman was chosen in an anonymous public contest by a commission of representatives of the CZSO and graphic design professionals. The contest was announced in co-operation with the Czech Union of Graphic Design and 400 graphic artists and designers participated in it.

“After 14 years, the Czech Statistical Office terminates its use of its existing logo that significantly contributed during all that time to strengthening awareness of the importance of statistics as well as of the activities of the Office. We believe that the new logo based on the unified visual identity of the state administration will continue to represent the Office and its work towards the professional and wide public with dignity, too,” Michal Novotný, Director of the Department of Communication of the Czech Statistical Office, stated.

The Czech Statistical Office, pursuant to the Government Resolution No 551 of 16 July 2025 and No 963 of 3 December 2025 is obliged to unify its visual presentation with the unified visual identity of the state administration. The aim is to unify presentation of ministries and other central bodies of the state administration, to strengthen credibility and authority of the state, and, at the same time, to enhance comprehensibility of communication towards the public.
