Embracing a city’s identity
The sun shines on Saulkrasti
Sun is central to the identity of the Saulkrasti people. With three months of the year seeing barely any daylight, the rhythm of the sun dictates life. We focused on the sun in creating the city’s logo because even when it’s not shining, the sun is an ever-present aspect of Saulkrasti life.
Colors of the north
In choosing brand colors for Saulkrasti, we looked to the natural world for inspiration. By capturing the elements of the city that the people are most connected to, we were able to create a color palette that feels true to the experience of walking through the beautiful Saulkrasti parks and beaches.
Extending the rays of a city
The Saulkrasti city identity is versatile in use, with the sun rays of the logo acting as graphic elements on their own. Separating the rays in creative ways allows us to express the city’s identity in more intelligent and creative ways.
Collaboration creates cohesion
In talking with the people of Saulkrasti, we developed our visual strategy, as well as the new city tagline: In the rhythm of the sun. We discovered the city’s values of peace, family, sustainability, and nature, and carried them into every brand touchpoint.
Wayfinding through icons
