In Odesa, a project is underway to mark an accessibility route aimed at enhancing usability.
The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy has unveiled a fresh visual identity for communications as part of the execution of the National Strategy for creating an accessible environment by 2030.
This visual identity consists of:
- a unique logo;
- standardized guidelines for fonts and colors;
- a visual concept,
- based on six dimensions of accessibility:
- physical,
- informational,
- educational,
- digital,
- civic,
- economic.
Each dimension is represented by a distinct point in the logo. Together, they create a circle — a symbol of unity, inclusion, and equal access for all, regardless of abilities.
Currently, this logo is being used for marking the accessibility route in Odesa.
This initiative is a crucial part of a larger project initiated by the Mayor of Odesa, Hennadiy Trukhanov, as part of the pilot project «Barrier-Free Movement». The marking work is being carried out by expert groups from the Council of Accessibility, involving people with disabilities, urbanists, and accessibility specialists.
