More than a place, Dallas is a state of mind, a soul-stirring idea of boundless potential that throughout its history has inspired the world. Today, that story is as relevant and energizing as ever, and demands to be shared in a uniquely iconic way.
With this belief in our hearts, Visit Dallas has taken the lead in creating a unified, enduring brand identity to build equity and interest in Dallas as a world-class destination. Our brand is our chance to share our story, our way. It gives people a way to connect and identify on a deeper level with Dallas and share that connection with others.
The vision for this new destination brand is larger than Visit Dallas alone. The goal is to create a competitive positioning platform that can be adopted citywide. It’s the first step in how we share the powerful energy and welcoming authenticity of Dallas wherever and whenever our story is told.
We started by appointing a committee of a diverse set of stakeholders who represented economic development, our visitor economy and business community. They have been our champions and counselors along the way.
In Summer 2022, after a thorough RFP, the committee selected Vision Collab, an alliance of four independent agencies, who conducted in-depth research and developed the platform that will bring Dallas’s new brand to life. Then, we really got to work.
Initial analysis included a series of stakeholder interviews and an immersive in-market familiarization tour, all in an effort to discover what makes Dallas, Dallas.
