See attached Change Order Summary Page 2 of 2 MBP www.mbpce.com Page 32 of 36 Staff Contact Andrew Trivette, City Manager Agenda Item Wording Consideration and Direction Regarding a Facility Logo for the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center - Kemper Sports Background Information Over the last few months Kemper Sports has been working to identify an identity and logo for the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center. They have presented numerous options to board members and advisory panels in an effort to narrow the review. Kemper Sports will present the results of their efforts, recommending a primary and a secondary logo for use in merchandising and official promotions. Previous Relevant Action None Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Board approve the two logos selected by Kemper to represent the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center, giving Kemper discretion on when a primary or a secondary logo is most appropriate. Attachments Kemper's Final Logo Recommendation Page 1 of 4 Page 33 of 36 Logo Recommendation: Logo Recommendation for the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center Following a series of revisions and valuable input from the HTRFA board, as well as insight gathered from local market feedback, KemperSports is pleased to present the finalized logo recommendations for the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center. To support the facility's branding and marketing efforts, we have developed both a primary and a secondary logo. This dual-logo approach ensures maximum flexibility and consistency across a wide range of applications, from digital and print to merchandise and signage. Primary Logo The primary logo is the visual cornerstone of the brand. It will be featured on all official print collateral, digital media, facility signage, and communications. This logo was designed to be bold, memorable, and instantly recognizable—serving as the definitive brand identity of the Greater Williamsburg Sports and Events Center. Page 2 of 4 Page 34 of 36 Secondary Logo We recommend the adoption of a secondary logo as a complementary brand asset. The secondary logo will be used selectively for: • Merchandise and apparel where alternate sizing or layout is preferred • Event signage and specialty banners • Marketing assets that benefit from varied brand expression This secondary mark allows for greater creative flexibility while maintaining visual consistency and enhancing brand reach, particularly in spaces where the primary logo may not scale or apply effectively. Upon board approval, KemperSports will finalize both logos in high-resolution formats and integrate them into the facility's official Brand Guide, which outlines usage, color palettes, and positioning across platforms. These assets are essential in creating a unified and professional identity for the Center as we expand its presence in the regional and national event landscape.
