City of Atascadero Taps Tripepi Smith for Style Guide Services
In September 2023, the City of Atascadero engaged Tripepi Smith to consolidate and contextualize its branding with a style guide. Tripepi Smith’s extensive design experience and familiarity with local government creative needs drew the City’s interest. The firm is partnering with the City to produce a branding & style guide along with a collection of branded templates.
“It’s been an awesome experience collaborating with Tripepi Smith and seeing what they can do with branding and marketing support to better the City,” said Deputy City Manager Terrie Banish. “The creativity they deliver is both innovative and meaningful for the community.”
Senior Business Analyst Sydni Overly, Creative Director Kevin Bostwick, and Business Analyst Peter Johnson are leading the engagement.
“We’re excited to partner with the City of Atascadero on this branding work,” said Sydni Overly. “Effective branding is incredibly important for local governments, as it builds trust and provides a consistent experience for residents, businesses and stakeholders. We’re honored that Atascadero has chosen us to accomplish this work.”
Tripepi Smith has integrated numerous branding components into the style guide, including several logo formats, color palettes, official fonts and other branding assets. The City is also leveraging Tripepi Smith to develop branded PowerPoint decks, business cards, letterheads, Zoom backgrounds and signage.
“The City has a thoughtful logo inspired by the Atascadero Historic City Hall, as well as identified colors and fonts they liked. They needed it all pulled together into a unique and cohesive visual brand,” said Kevin Bostwick. “By thinking about Atascadero’s brick, pine and unique atmosphere, we are implementing a brand that will resonate with the community and reflect well beyond Atascadero.”
