Branding

To effectively communicate the many programs and services the City provides, LFUCG has adopted a unifying brand and graphic identity. The reputation of this identity rests on the clear and consistent use of logos, colors, typography and other imagery used by the City’s many departments and divisions.

Every form of written and visual communication is a reflection of the City’s brand, which includes printed materials, signage, email, websites, videos and digital media.
