Primary Logo This mark uses type that is
upright and bold, conveying
the resilience and strength
at the root of Davenport’s
community culture. This is
positioned next to the softer
shape and friendliness of the
circular icon to create that
balance. The logo graphic is an
interpretation of the Davenport
Skybridge – iconic and
unique to Davenport, this also
represents the actual physical
connection to the Riverfront,
as well as a more symbolic
representation of connecting
the Diverse Landscape for a
unified Davenport. The graphic
style may also be used to
create other community icons
that can be utilized with the
brand as support graphics,
such as Vander Veer Park, the
River Bandits Ferris Wheel, Bix,
neighborhoods and so on.
