Logo for City of Chula Vista featuring a stylized sun, mountain, and water waves in blue.

An exploratory rebrand for the City of Chula Vista, developed as an independent study in how the city’s existing visual identity could be simplified, modernized, and made more flexible across civic applications.

The concept builds on familiar elements from the city’s existing identity, including the sun, landscape, and water.

The original symbol was reduced to its essential forms, paired with updated typography, and reorganized into a more flexible system that could work across a wide range of scales and formats.
