New Washington State Parks brand:
talking about an evolution
As we unveil our new brand with its rich colors, designs and messaging, we bring you one more behind-the-scenes peek at our creative process:
Last year, we spent months listening to our communities and reviewing research on our park users. At the end of that process, we took a step back and surveyed the landscape. (See what we did there?)
As we examined our former logo and visual identity, we realized it didn't represent the growth our agency has experienced, so we decided it was time for a change.
Multiple rounds and hours of discussion led us to an engaging new logo that will be flexible enough to grow with State Parks and stay relevant for decades to come.
Read about our rebranding process in our new blog post.
