West Hollywood Tourism Marketing Fund
EMERALD VILLAGE BRAND
-
Establish the City of West Hollywood as the nation’s premier cannabis tourism destination.
-
Convey an alluring experience that’s vibrant, imaginative, & aspirational.
Differentiate from other cannabis tourist destinations by creating a mood of elegance and style.
Emphasize wellness.
Do things differently—avoiding the cliches in this space.
-
A new lifestyle brand:
Name “Emerald Village” has three layers—conveying a magical destination (Emerald City) and a cannabis destination (emerald), while also paying homage to West Hollywood’s traditional positioning (urban village).
Logo is a sleek, elegant abstraction of a cannabis plant—while also paying homage to City’s art deco architecture.
Color palette is not green—surprise! Instead, we went for warm colors & dreamy gradients to capture the city’s vibrant energy.
