Special Delegates
Valérie Pécresse also appointed 18 special delegates in charge of “strategic issues”:
Headquarters
A selection process led in May 2016 to retain three potential sites, where the move could be done quickly, in Ivry-sur-Seine, Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen. In early 2018, the construction of the new site started in the district of Docks in Saint-Ouen, moving from its previous office in the 7th arrondissement. The second building, including a hemicycle, was delivered in 2019. The first plenary meeting of the regional council in Saint-Ouen was announced to be held in March 2020. The site is served by Mairie de Saint-Ouen Paris Métro station.
Visual identity (logo)
Since 2005, the logo of the Île-de-France region has been composed of an eight-pointed star of red-orange color next to the name of the region in lowercase. The eight branches of the star, already present on the previous logo, symbolized the eight Île-de-France départements. The creation of the logo would have costed 40,000 euros and the change of letterhead that it entailed more than 100,000 euros.
