America, Made in Virginia.
From the first English settlement at Jamestown to the surrender of the British at Yorktown. From “Give me liberty or give me death” to “all men are created equal.” From Washington and Jefferson to Madison and Monroe. From Powhatan and Pocahontas to James Armistead and Gowan Pamphlet. From the ideas that inspired it to the battlefields that decided it. There is simply no America without it, and no better time than now to reconnect with your country in the place that made it possible.
The logo and tagline were designed to incorporate a visual play on words, and provide a simply yet flexible design language, emphasizing that Virginia boasts many voices, experiences, and contributions to America. These designs would include an easily identifiable typeface and color combination while keeping Virginia front and center. The VA250 Brand Guidelines map out the proper usage of these brand elements for VA250.
