## 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.
* Current seat of the regional council, 2 rue Simone-Veil in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine.
* Former seat of the regional council in rue Barbet-de-Jouy (7th arrondissement).
* Former building of the Services Department, 35 boulevard des Invalides.
* Former building in 57 rue de Babylone

## 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.

The scarf worn by the regional councilors who are members of the Île-de-France Regional Council is red (narrow band), white (narrow band), blue, white (narrow band), red (narrow band).
