RVWA Identity

Branding for RVWA

The Rio Vista Watersports Association (RVWA) needed a brand identity that conveyed professionalism and clarity—qualities essential for a safety organization but missing from their previous inconsistent design. Through stakeholder interviews and strategic exploration, I discovered their core values and created a versatile identity centered on an arrow motif that symbolizes wind direction, guidance, and forward movement in safety standards.
