MUNICIPAL BRANDING · IDENTITY
Jacksonville Beach
The City of Jacksonville Beach identity began by simplifying the city's name to “JAX Beach.” The letter “A” in JAX was then transformed into the profile of the city's iconic red lifeguard chairs, integrating a recognizable local landmark directly into the typography. The result is a distinctive, versatile identity designed to communicate quickly and effectively across municipal, residential, and tourism applications.
