PREAMBLE: OBJECTIVE OF REGULATIONS GOVERNING Use OF LOGO

In June 2014 the commemorations of the 70th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy will take place.

The Normandy Tourist Board has looked to mark this historic event with a specially designed logo.

The chosen emblem conjures up the wings of a dove but also the V for victory. The colour blue was used for serenity. The war is now over and peace, remembrance, reconciliation, construction of Europe, the handing down of history are order of the day especially for younger generations.

To this end, the Normandy Tourist Board has registered a simple French group trademark « 70th ANNIVERSARY D-Day NORMANDY LAND OF LIBERTY » (referred to hereafter as the trademark) with l'Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle in the classes 8, 9, 13, 16, 28, 33, 34, 35, 39, 41 and 43.
