Zeichen wie unser ikonischer Herzanker, der vom Bierlogo zum heimlichen Wahrzeichen der Stadt wurde, der Sprung über die Elbe, der über die IBA hinaus als Motivation der Stadtentwicklung mutig weiterspringt, das grüne Herz der Stadt, das dem Grossmarkt als essentiellem Versorger die verdiente Sichtbarkeit verleiht, oder der Active City Button, der alle Sport- und Bewegungsinitiativen der Stadt markiert.
