City of Kuopio

City of Kuopio brand One of the fastest growing cities in Finland, Kuopio is a great place to live. To keep up with all the growth, and to show residents that the area was committed to celebrating and preserving the city’s beauty and culture, the City of Kuopio worked with us to develop a visual identity system and an organizational services hierarchy to simplify communications for citizens, visitors and investors, and between municipal departments and other stakeholders. Thanks to its mutually supportive community efforts and resources that help maximize potential for all its residents, Kuopio has also been awarded designation as a WHO Healthy City. Surrounded by peaceful forests and pristine lakes, there is natural beauty as far as the eye can see. We discovered that residents don’t simply cherish the nature, they thrive because of it. And it’s that love and connection to nature that became the inspiration for our rebranding efforts.
