Dana Point Harbor Branding

Burnham Ward is repositioning Dana Point Harbor to be a coastal lifestyle destination. RSM Design collaborated with Burnham Ward to create a brand vision book to communicate the essence and vision of the project to consultant teams, the city and county, and key stakeholders. The book introduces the history and memorable qualities of Dana Point and provides a clear point of view and direction of the project. It includes guiding principles, target audiences and scenarios, and environmental design inspiration to convey a unifying vision. This brand book expresses and aligns a collection of materials and palettes to articulate the brand narrative.
