The Town of Beresford’s visual identity is comprised of three key elements- its official coat of arms, its logo and its flag.
Our Logo and Slogan
Our brand image includes a logo and slogan that has been developed in harmony with our territorial identity.
Our image is: STRONG – DISTINCTIVE – ATTRACTIVE – MODERN. It was conceived and designed in such a way to showcase a community that is:
• Accessible, open and welcoming fostering a peaceful and safe living environment.
• Proud of its culture, its francophone nature and its Acadian heritage.
• Harmonious with the extraordinary natural environment that surrounds it, on the shores of one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
Our new image includes the following elements:
• The star which reminds us of Acadie, evokes our connection with the Bay of Chaleur and that is also a symbol of excellence.
• The waves, blue and red as the Acadian flag, evoking a flag in the wind and conveying the dynamism of a community in movement.
• The butterfly, representing the maritime ringlet butterfly that calls our marsh home. It symbolizes liberty but also our proximity with nature, its fragility and our duty of preservation.
Our slogan:
Naturally Welcoming
Promotes a proud community, open and ready to welcome newcomers and tourists through a multitude of local services, infrastructure as well as the warm and authentic character of our citizens.
“I am proud of this new image; a community needs tools to promote itself and to affirm its identity and this new image meets those goals. In great numbers, our citizens participated in a number of surveys and this image is a product of their comments and thoughts about their town,” said Jean Guy Grant, Mayor of the Town of Beresford at the time of the unveiling of the branding.
