Local Government Branding

Creating a new or refreshed town or city brand is a big deal. You need something that will reflect the community, speak to elected officials, and be usable for years to come. Our process includes stakeholders, community engagement, and rounds of revision to make sure you come away with the perfect brand for your community.

More Than a Logo

A brand is more than just a logo, and our branding process is created with our in-house local government experience in mind. In fact, our EPIC re-branding process has found success in more the 30 local governments. With this process, we build a foundation for all of your communications materials that reflect your organization, the community you serve, and support place-making activities.
