Town of Perth – Unified Brand Identity & Visual System

A collaborative rebrand for the Town of Perth, Ontario, and its core organizations—delivering a shared visual identity system, brand architecture, and communication tools to strengthen cohesion, clarity, and civic pride.

Town of Perth Ontario branding project by 1dea, showcasing best logo design practices in a modern brand identity system.

The Why Behind the Work

  • Developing a brand that served the Town, Tourism, Museum, BIA, and Chamber of Commerce
  • Supporting internal and public alignment through brand clarity
  • Reflecting Perth’s historic charm while modernizing its visual presence
  • Creating consistent tools for cross-departmental communication and marketing
