Özet:

 Logos are expressions of the unique characteristics of a place or a brand through various symbols. As service providers, municipalities also use their own promotional logos. The fact that these logos representing municipalities carry the values of that region makes it easier for the logos to be adopted. Since municipality logos represent a settlement, they generally contain physical and human geography elements. The use of geographical indications in the created logos makes the logos geographically important. In this study, where the municipal logos of Erzincan province are examined from a geographical perspective, the effect of geography on the interpretation of physical and human geographical symbols in the municipal logos and the creation of city identities has been tried to be analyzed. While examining the municipal logos of Erzincan province, it was seen that both physical and human geography elements were used together. The combination of natural geography elements such as the sun, animal motifs, trees, mountains, streams and agricultural products with cultural, religious and human elements in logos is very important from a geographical perspective. This means that the natural environment is not ignored in logo designs, place-defining elements are used, and local historical and cultural values are highlighted. The originality of every detail in the Erzincan Central district municipality logo is designed to reflect the characteristics of the province. It not only defines the central district, but also describes the qualities of the provincial districts. Physical geography features are symbolized in detail in the Çayırlı municipality logo, and both physical and human geography features are symbolized in detail in the İliç, Kemah, Otlukbeli and Üzümlü municipality logos. The natural beauties of Kemaliye district are not fully reflected in the logo. Modern lines and symbols are used in the Refahiye district municipality logo. Tercan municipality logo is simpler and consists of several symbols. In general, it has been observed that all logos contain natural and human elements belonging to the geography in which they are located and cultural values are used.

 Logolar bir yerin veya bir markanın kendine ait özelliklerini çeşitli sembollerle ifade edilmesidir. Hizmet veren kuruluşlar olarak belediyeler de kendilerine ait tanıtıcı logolar kullanmaktadırlar. Belediyeleri temsil eden bu logoların o yöreye ait değerleri taşıması, logoların benimsenmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Belediye logoları bir yerleşim yerini temsil ettiklerinden genelde fiziki ve beşerî coğrafya unsurlarını içermektedirler. Oluşturulan logolarda coğrafi işaretlerin kullanılması, logoları coğrafi açıdan önemli kılmaktadır. Erzincan ilinin belediye logolarının coğrafi bakış açısıyla incelendiği bu çalışma, belediye logolarındaki fiziki ve beşerî coğrafi sembollerin yorumlanması ve kent kimliklerinin oluşturulmasında, coğrafyanın etkisi analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Erzincan ilinin belediye logoları incelenirken hem fiziki hem de beşerî coğrafya unsurlarının birlikte kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Logolarda güneş, hayvan motifleri, ağaç, dağ, akarsu ve tarım ürünleri gibi doğal coğrafya elemanlarıyla kültürel, dini ve beşerî ögelerin bir arada olması coğrafi açıdan oldukça önemlidir. Bu durum logo tasarımlarında doğal çevrenin göz ardı edilmediğini, mekânı tanımlayıcı unsurların kullanıldığını, yöreye ait tarihi ve kültürel değerlerin ön plana çıkartıldığı anlamına gelmektedir. Erzincan Merkez ilçesi belediye logosunda her bir ayrıntının orijinalliği, ilin özelliklerini taşıyacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır. Sadece Merkez ilçeyi tanımlamakla kalmayıp, taşra ilçelerin niteliklerini de anlatmaktadır. Çayırlı belediye logosunda fiziki coğrafya özellikleri, İliç, Kemah, Otlukbeli ve Üzümlü belediye logolarında ise hem fiziki hem de beşerî coğrafya özellikleri detaylı olarak sembolleştirilmiştir. Kemaliye ilçesinin doğal güzellikleri tam anlamıyla logoya yansıtılmamıştır. Refahiye ilçe belediye logosunda modern çizgiler ve simgeler kullanılmıştır. Tercan belediye logosu daha basit ve birkaç sembolden oluşmaktadır. Genel olarak bütün logolarda bulundukları coğrafyaya ait doğal ve beşerî unsurların yeraldığı ve kültürel değerlerin kullanıldığı gözlemlenmiştir.
