Kendal Branding Toolkit

The Kendal Branding Toolkit provides businesses and promoters with everything they need to start working with Kendal’s new destination branding including fonts, icons, colours and an ever expanding image library.

The new destination identity reflects that Kendal is traditional market town built on the wool trade that has developed into a diverse cultural hub. The logo is itself inspired by woollen threads being fed on to a loom.

Here you’ll find a brand of playful patterns and inspiring imagery, full of character and characters.

Telling Kendal’s story

The brand guidelines have practical phrases, paragraphs and copy examples to help you describe and promote Kendal, and all it offers, in your own marketing and promotional material.

Kendal Branding

Inspired by wool, the Kendal logo is rooted in tradition but like the town it represents, it has a contemporary edge. This is Kendal’s master logo and it should only be reproduced in Kendal Green as shown here (or white, if reversed out of a block colour or image). A Mono version is also available.

Minimum size

The Kendal logo is designed primarily for display purposes. Full details can be found in the brand guidelines.  The minimum size for the master (preferred) logo is 30 mm.

A very small block version of the lettering is available which sits with icon uses in social media applications. This should only be used in the very tightest of spaces.

The logos can be downloaded for your own use. Please read the brand guidelines first.
