straightforward nature and simplicity of the idea from west to east via the three major capes of Good Hope, Leeuwin and the Horn. There is a long slide down the Atlantic, the perilous voyage across the Southern Ocean with firstly the Indian Ocean and its crossed seas, then the Pacific Ocean, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest ocean. Finally, there is the climb back up the Atlantic to head back to Les Sables dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Olonne, which marks the start and finish of the Everest of the seas.

BRANDING 31

The Logo The Horizon

The inspiration for the logo came from the point of view of the competitors of the race — being on open ocean for almost 100 days, the only view they have for 99% of the time is the horizon. Is the longest race on the planet, which also supports the idea of a long horizontal.

The Colors Nature, technology and direction

Two tones of blue were selected: the light vibrant is

SKY BLUE

inspired by the sky, the deep purplish is the tone of open ocean waters. Black represents carbon fiber, the most used material in the boats. Red and green are the universal navigation light colors — red indicates starboard side (left) and Green port side (right).

Identity System

The use of the Ocean Blue as the primary color emphasizes the direct relation of the institution with the ocean. The logo going from edge-to-edge reinforces the representation of the horizon and long duration of the race itself.

“It’s so Simple! Tell anybody that a man who’s alone on a boat is going around the world. They got it. On top of that, there are albatross, icebergs and things that they read on Jules Verne in between, then you have the magic.” 38

Promotional Posters and Ads

The use of full-bleed photos and landscape formats gives the openness of being in the middle of the ocean . For the posters , the idea was to emphasize the two biggest challenges of the race. The mental and physical side of racing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being alone as you travel around the world for almost 100 days without assistance or human contact.

The Museum

The curved front face of the building is inspired by the shape of the sails on the boats, with external and exhibit walls made of glass, creating a very open and bright space simulating the perspective of the sailors on the open ocean. The movable curved walls on the floor plan were inspired by the waves and tide currents that the sailors encounter during their journey. The walls can be rearranged every time a new exhibit is introduced. The biggest focal point of the museum is the full scale boat model located in the center of the exhibits area, reinforcing the fact that the boat becomes the center of a competitor’s universe during the race.

In theory, the Vendée Globe is an utterly simple affair. Its fundamental principles come down to a few sentences, compared to which even the roughest logbook would seem sophisticated. A sailing race around the world, for single-handed sailors, without any stopover. That’s it. In theory at least, because beyond these words, we find the magic of this adventure. Official supplier of sailing legends since 1989, this race has captivated the maritime world and the public—even the strongest superlatives seem unable to define it. Le Musée du Vendée Globe will create a great opportunity for everybody to experience a little and learn about the adventure of 1 IN 136.810.140.
