Putting Your Best Foot Forward
A brand or logo functions as the keystone of your marketing and communication efforts. It ties all of the various elments you publish together and sets the tone for everything else.
Municipalities and tourism regions need a brand that can extend to physical media such as gateway signs, park signs, wayfinding signs, maintenance vehicles, and water towers.

Downtown Sturgeon Bay sits on either side of the bay, effectively dividing it in half. Knowing which side to park your car was a critical step in wayfinding for visitors..
