Design Elements

To support the Calistoga brand voice, we have included some initial new visual brand elements that are key components of visual design. Orchestrated around the new Calistoga logo, the visual brand is inspired by the “intimate hospitality” that is unique to the City of Calistoga. Themes such as interaction, movement, connectivity and warmth are all brought to life with the visual brand.

Brand Ambassadors

Brand ambassadors are any owners, managers and employees working in Calistoga’s service and concierge industries whose role it is to make visitors feel welcome and represent the town of Calistoga.
