A new logo has been launched to promote the Royal National Mòd going to Glasgow in 2019.

 

This is the first time for 29 years the week-long festival of Gaelic language, music and culture will be held in the city.

 

The logo has been developed to show a modern and vibrant face for the Mòd.

 

The ambition of the local organising committee of Mòd Ghlaschu 2019, along with the support of Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life, is to help An Comunn Gàidhealach deliver a Mòd that is ambitious and forward-looking whilst respecting the traditions of the Mòd and its cultural roots.

 

it is hoped the fresh new look created by Glasgow-based design agency The Creative Cell will increase awareness of the event.

 

The 2019 festival will continue to offer a range of competitions for both children and adults – in oral, singing and instrumental performance. The Highland dancing and piping competitions may also find a new place within the event to allow for the full breadth of talent to be showcased.

 

The fringe programme will showcase some of Scotland’s finest musical talents in the run-up to and during the Mòd week, providing entertainment from some of Gaeldom’s premiere performers.

 

Donald Iain Brown, chair of Mòd Ghlaschu 2019, said: “When Glasgow won the bid to host the Mòd 2019 we knew then that we had to create a vibrant brand to take the festival forward and to present an inclusive and welcoming message for the people of Glasgow that Gaelic culture is here to be embraced by all, regardless if they speak Gaelic or not.

 

“Music and song performed in any language is a unifying experience and our intention as an organising committee is to engage as many people as possible and encourage the City of Glasgow to support and enjoy all that their cultural heritage has to offer.”

 

The Mòd 2019 competitions will take place in the Royal Concert Hall in the city centre.
