Berwick Unveils New Branding at Summer Concerts BERWICK Envision Berwick is proud to present Bring “Your Lawn Chairs to Sullivan Square” on the lawn of Berwick’s Town Hall in Sullivan Square on August 3 and 24 from 5 to 8 p.m. The town festival will showcase local Seacoast bands Texas Pete, Terrie Collins Band, Big Picture Band, High & Dry and Andrea Szirbik Groft. Envision Berwick expect the festival to serve as the inaugural event in an annual series of free concerts celebrating the community with a gathering of locals, townsfolk, and anyone else who loves great music, good times, and free fun. Jeremy Kasten, one of the
event’s organizers, says, “Bring Your Lawn Chairs to Sullivan Square” is an important step toward establishing Berwick as a place for family fun and entertainment. This isn’t the biggest town festival in Maine this summer, but it might be the most charming. We aim to host an event that unites our local Seacoast towns. These towns share a common tradition of being both authentic and fun.” Bring Your Lawn Chairs to Sullivan Square will feature live music, face painting, the tri-town bookmobile, an ice cream truck, a food truck, and Berwick-brewed craft beers from Corner Point Brewing Company.
The event will also serve as the launch of the town’s new branding and logo. A variety of Berwick town merchandise featuring the new logo will be available for purchase. There will also be t-shirts and stickers for the concert series. Pixels & Pulp, a Berwick and Portland, Maine-based graphic design firm, was hired by Envision Berwick to develop a new logo and brand identity for the town. Pixels & Pulp specialize in branding, website design, campaign and event collateral design, and they have been working with progressive clients in the U.S. and abroad since 2008. Co-founder Elise Weeks has lived and worked in
Berwick for the past eight years and was honored and excited to develop a new look and feel for the town. “I love Berwick. It’s a great place to live, work, and raise your kids. There’s a
wonderful sense of community here,” says Weeks. “This is a great time to undertake this branding effort, not only for current residents and business owners alike, but for those who are potentially looking to put roots down here, too.” Pixels & Pulp worked closely with Envision Berwick and local community members to ensure the design achieved the strategic goals of the town and captured the spirit of the community. The branding will be rolled out in phases to include new town signage, updates to the website and social channels, print collateral, apparel, and other promotional materials.
