Philadelphia is a World Heritage City!

On November 6, 2015, as the result of a multi-year joint venture between the Global Philadelphia Association and the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia was accepted as a member of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC) and became recognized as a “World Heritage City.� It is the first city in the United States of America to have attained this distinctive status, and now joins a prestigious company of over 280 international OWHC cities.

THE WORLD HERITAGE CITY PROJECT Soon after achieving this status, the World Heritage City Project was established as a community-built vision of what we would like to accomplish as a World Heritage City. The Project has three fundamental goals: 1. To promote preservation and appreciation of our geographical, historical, and cultural heritage through the World Heritage City designation and continued education.

2. To provide a powerful economic and cultural stimulus to the region.

3. To inspire citizens and residents to feel pride in their World Heritage City.

The Philadelphia World Heritage City seal was designed for the World Heritage City Project by J2 Design Partnership in 2016. It has come to represent a city that is using a uniquely distinguished past to propel a dramatically new future.

BEHIND THE DESIGN At the center of the logo is an outline of Independence Hall.

This iconic building has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for having “outstanding universal value” in that it is “directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs… of outstanding universal significance.” Having this UNESCO-designated site within our borders was integral in achieving Philadelphia’s World Heritage City status.

To the right of the tower is a star, representing the City’s aspirations for the future. The horizontal lines to the left of the tower represent motion, reflecting that we are not standing on our laurels but moving forward as a city.

DOWNLOAD AND USE THE SEAL! The seal is open-source and available to download on the GPA website (globalphiladelphia.org). It can be adapted for incorporation into your website, correspondence, brochures, annual reports, promotional materials, etc. The only exception is that use is not authorized in connection with merchandise.
