The Government of The Bahamas required an identity and communications materials to support their new initiative: Stronger Bahamas. It promotes a safe country with a fair and efficient justice system, thriving and diverse economy, and a positive place for families to live and grow. The promotions needed to be inviting, informative and progressive to convey a strong sense of community and new beginnings.
Stronger Bahamas extends through their three core pillars into many government departments and programs. Safer: reducing crime and justice system reform; Prosperous: job creation, strengthening the economy; and Modern: education and social programs. We developed an identity for the initiative to represent these pillars, and used it as the basis for the rest of the promotional collateral.
We developed a logo showing a sun coming over the horizon, with the rays of the sun made up many hands. This is reflective of the initiative’s goal of a safe, prosperous and modern future – the rising sun depicts new beginning and a flourishing future, and the calm waters portray a safe environment. The many hands represent humanity banding together towards a common goal.
We used The Bahamas’ national colours of yellow, blue and black for their cultural and political meanings. The yellow represents the golden sand and shining sun, the blue represents the sea surrounding the country, and the black symbolizes the strength of the Bahamian people.
We integrated the branding throughout their communications materials, creating a strong brand recognition and reinforcing the core messages of the initiative. This helps strengthen positive public perception of the government’s direction and instills trust in the program’s goals.
We developed a visual theme, designed social media campaigns, newspaper and web advertisements, event banners, pop-ups, stage backdrops, posters, infographics, brochures, reports, presentations, stationery, correspondence, labels and much more. We also designed and developed a comprehensive website to highlight recent news and accomplishments, key initiative goals and engage the audience through strong emphasis on public collaboration.
Overall, the promotions have been effective in facilitating the government’s mission by promoting their activities, goals and ideals. They engage with the public to address the nation’s challenges, and encourage Bahamians to work together to build a safe, prosperous and modern future.
