UDig NY
Safe digging starts here

A new name offered necessary clarity and brand structure for the general public.
What our research uncovered:
During stakeholder interviews, Makeway deciphered that a new brand identity would be seen as a positive change for the organization and that the original name “Dig Safely New York” did not do a sufficient job addressing the brand’s internal and external communications issues. After obtaining approval, we then began the process of researching the national trademark database (TESS) and brainstorming new names.
Makeway started working on design concepts leading to the finalized mark below, once the new name, UDig NY was approved.
