Our new logo
The new Niagara Falls brand brings a modern interpretation to one of Canada’s most iconic destinations. The logo design uses the initials “NF” to evoke the natural flow of cascading water through clean, fluid lines. A dynamic palette of lighter blue tones conveys movement and energy, while deeper aqua tones introduce a layer of creativity and depth. A subtle yet deliberate maple leaf element reinforces Niagara Falls’ strong Canadian identity and sense of place. The accompanying wordmark uses customized, sans-serif typography, refined to mirror the fluidity of the logo while remaining bold and highly legible.
This fresh, contemporary visual identity reflects the vibrancy, warmth, and innovative spirit that define today’s Niagara Falls – a city that honours its legacy while confidently stepping into the future.

A brand for a municipality is much more than a logo or tagline; it is the collective identity of the city. It encompasses the city’s values, culture, and reputation, shaping how residents, businesses, visitors, and potential investors perceive it. A strong municipal brand communicates what makes the city unique—its history, character, and vision for the future.
For Niagara Falls, this brand will represent our community’s pride, aspirations, and what we stand for, helping us effectively promote our local identity, attract investment, and inspire a sense of belonging for everyone who calls this city home.
A municipality may choose to develop its brand for several important reasons:
- Reflecting Growth and Change: As a city evolves through population growth, economic development, or cultural shifts, its identity may need to be updated to reflect these changes. A strong brand helps ensure the city’s image stays current and relevant.
- Attracting Investment and Tourism: A fresh, compelling brand can make the city more appealing to businesses, investors, and tourists, enhancing its reputation and driving economic growth.
- Strengthening Community Pride: Branding can unify the community by aligning the city’s image with the shared values, history, and aspirations of its residents, fostering a stronger sense of pride and belonging.
- Addressing Misconceptions: If a city’s image has become outdated or misaligned with its strengths and offerings, branding allows the municipality to reshape public perceptions and accurately tell its story.
For Niagara Falls, brand development provides an opportunity to celebrate our past while presenting a forward-thinking, vibrant identity that supports long-term growth and community engagement.
