Bainbridge Island is burnishing its brand.

The city has hired consultants Arnett and Muldrow to come up with a new logo for the Bainbridge Island, and officials said the branding effort will be used to spur economic development and further forge community bonds.

The effort begins with a three-day blastoff next week, from June 9 to June 11, when Arnett and Muldrow will work with community members to “distill and express” the identity of Bainbridge Island. Helping guide the effort are the Bainbridge Island Chamber of Commerce and the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association.

The community is invited to share ideas at a meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 9 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Community members are also invited to attend the brand reveal at

6:30 p.m. Thursday,

June 11 in the auditorium at BIMA.

Arnett and Muldrow will then take the feedback received from the brand reveal and work with city officials and others to refine the brand over the next four weeks.

“This process is about bringing the community together to speak in one voice in a way that will create increased collaboration and enhanced economic opportunities for local businesses,” said Kellie Stickney, the city’s community engagement specialist.

“We are also taking advantage of this opportunity to reflect and refresh how the city represents itself as our 25th anniversary of incorporation approaches. We hope that local merchants, attractions and community members will join us in this endeavor,” she said.
