Greater Idaho Falls Chamber Logo Design Rebrand

Rebranding 120 years of history.


The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber has served its community for 120 years! After all that time, the organization desperately needed a new image to attract new businesses and shed the baggage of the past.

Rebranding a 120-year legacy.

In the 120-year history of the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce, we were only able to uncover 2 logos that were used over the years.

It was time for the Chamber to have branding that represented the heart and soul that their employees pour into everything they do. From organizing networking events and educational programs to advocating for local businesses at the government level, the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber works incredibly hard to create an environment where businesses can thrive.

Selecting the branding committee.

With any project for an organization such as a chamber of commerce, you have a board of directors to work with. From the kickoff, we worked with the board to select a group of 4 individuals who would be granted decision-making power for the branding project.

This step is incredibly vital because it keeps the project moving forward without getting bogged down with too many opinions being voiced. I recommend doing this with any logo design or branding project with many decision-makers.

Mood Boards

On every branding package I do, I create a couple of mood boards based on the style preferences we have landed on through branding questionnaires and Pinterest boards. I send these to the client to make sure I’m on the right track before I start sketching logo concepts.

Final Logo Design

Final set of logos for the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber.

After much deliberation, the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber team decided that their chosen emblem perfectly encapsulated their mission and community spirit.

The Chamber selected the Whole Shebang package, receiving a comprehensive logo suite in various file formats, multiple logo versions and layouts, a custom color palette with specifications, an inspiring tagline, and recommended fonts.

Within this branding package, we also completed rebranding efforts for all of the events that the Chamber organizes.

Included in their package was a master logo file and full style guide, available in both Adobe Illustrator .ai and .PDF formats. This file, showcasing all essential branding elements in one place, is invaluable for sharing with sign makers or other designers to ensure brand consistency across all platforms and materials.
