How was the logo  created?

The very name of Rudolfovo is connected to the region that represents Southeastern Slovenia. History says that the city was founded by the Austrian Duke Rudolf IV. Habsburg on April 7, 1365 with the founding charter. He also named the city Rudolfswerth after himself. After that time they are different names appeared alternately. Official name of the city: from 1365 to 1783 Rudolfswerth, 1783 to 1865 Neustädtl, 0d 1865 to 1918 Rudolfswert and Rudolfovo, after 1918 Novo mesto. Throughout the centuries, his image appears in city seals and seals, as well as seals of some other city institutions. His image also entered the coat of arms of Novi Sad and has remained until today. (Source: Dolenjski museum, Novo mesto).

The city rights granted in the charter enabled the rapid and successful development of the city and the entire region. 
With our logo we associate ourselves with elements that represented the historical conditions for the development of the region, that is, the seal and the coat or cloak that it represents association with a curly bracket, a mathematical symbol (sets, sets..), on the other hand, an inverted curly bracket represents the connotation of shield mantle to shield, initial state, condition for growth, development, mathematical definition, multitude.
