The Brand Story
Like how salt is meticulously formed from the seas and harvested in the province called “land of salt,” the Pangasinan Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office has been preparing and gearing toward the slow but sure reopening of tourism with health and safety protocols and practices in place. This is to ensure the safety of tourists and the local tourism industry as Pangasinan adapts to the “new normal.”
See Pangasinan captures Pangasinan Tourism’s sure, safe yet fun campaign for the new normal tourism restart in accordance with the Department of Tourism and IATF guidelines. The See Pangasinan Logo and Branding focuses on how tourists “see” Pangasinan’s farm and faith tourism, pristine beaches, and diverse gastronomy; with emphasis on salt from which the province’s name is derived.
The See Pangasinan Logo
The logo conveys simplicity and modernity to depict Pangasinan Tourism’s sure and safe tourism restart yet maintaining the “See the fun in Pangasinan” outlook.
The text is in Fonarto font and is colored blue to represent the province’s color.
The Sun on top of the word “Asin” shows Pangasinan as the “Land of Salt”.
The Sun is designed in the form of waves in the horizon to represent the pristine beaches and beautiful sunset views of the province.
The 6 Rays of the Sun represent the 6 districts of Pangasinan. Each wavy ray symbolizes tourism destinations like farms, islands, beaches, rivers, and mountains.
Usage: The use of the Official See Pangasinan Logo is subject to specific guidelines and assessment and written expressed permission from the Pangasinan Provincial Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (PTCAO).
