EURO<26 / European Youth Card with new redesigned logo

The EURO<26 / European Youth Card is available to ALL young people aged under 26 or under 30, depending on the national card organisation. The EURO<26 / European Youth Card is valid for up to three year, and can be renewed each year until the cardholder reaches the age of 26 or 30. To find out which member organisations of the European Youth Card Association raised the age limit for cardholders up to 30 years of age, please go to the news section.

In May 2009, EURO<26 / European Youth Card launched the re-branding of its Hercules logo. To mark the increase of the age limit to 30, the European Youth Card Association ran a competition for the re-design of its well-known logo. The winning design, which combines the Hercules figure and the letters EYCA, will be used during a transition period together with the old logo. (For more information about this subject, please click here.)

Wherever the old and new EURO<26 / European Youth Card logo is displayed, the cardholder gets a discount for services and products. All EURO<26 / European Youth Card national organisations will run a re-branding campaign to inform discount providers and cardholders about the changes.

To become a cardholder, there is no requirement to be a student or to be a European citizen. The EURO<26 / European Youth Card is issued in 38 European countries, and can be purchased through our web sales shop at https://sales.euro26.ch/
