At the end of last year, East Bay EDA began the process to refresh and modernize our visual identity and brand. After soliciting requests for proposals (RFPs) and submissions from several highly qualified local design firms, East Bay EDA selected Bombilla, an Oakland based “branding & design agency on a mission to spark change through creativity, collaboration, and community.”

Our work with Bombilla included identifying the elements that best represent East Bay EDA, while keeping our brand recognizable and core to our mission as the regional voice and networking resource for strengthening the economy, building the workforce and enhancing the quality of life in the East Bay. The great team at Bombilla helped us define what makes us stand out while still representing our members, partners, and the region.

In the coming weeks we will be updating our visual identity on our website, materials, and across all our channels.
