Revitalizing OWASA - A Fresh Take on Public Service Branding

The Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) focuses on delivering essential water treatment services with care and commitment to the Carrboro-Chapel Hill community. They reached out to our design agency as they felt their previous brand image did not effectively communicate their purpose and values, leading to stagnation within the industry. OWASA needed a rebranding strategy that would enhance their visual presence, improve their online and print identity, and maintain their existing logo.

A Community-Centric Brand Strategy

Our team concentrated on developing a revamped brand identity that highlighted OWASA's dedication to their community, environmental stewardship, and prime water treatment services. By capturing the essence of OWASA's work, we made sure that their target audience would connect with and trust the organization's essential role in the Carrboro-Chapel Hill community.

Revitalized Aesthetics and Engaging Design

We refreshed OWASA's brand colors and typography to convey warmth, energy, and easy readability. Our design included custom illustrations, icons, and infographics representing the natural water treatment process. The balanced color scheme exuded calmness and purity, echoing OWASA’s environmental commitment. Although maintaining their existing logo, the overall brand aesthetic now resonates with the audience at first glance.
