Place branding & tourism marketing

A place is more than streets and signs — it's how it feels. We design cities and spaces that speak through signs, navigation, and form. Real identity, built into real ground.

Visible from afar

Rooted in local context

Navigable by anyone

Challenges we solve

One city.
One story.

We design spatial identity systems that don’t fall apart between neighborhoods, contractors, or city departments — so your town doesn’t look like it’s made by five different people with five different ideas.

Every sign speaks a different language.

Districts and devs improvise — the identity breaks.

People wander.
Locals ignore.

Navigation lacks logic, clarity,
or visibility.

Nice in renders.
Broken in real life.

Weak specs, wrong materials — it falls apart.

No one owns
the system.

Too many teams.
No shared standard.

Who we work with

City administrations

Public space is political. We help municipalities build identity systems that stay consistent.

Cohesive code
Materials and formats that scale
Clear specifications

Systemize your town

Developers

New housing, new parks —
but no shared language. We help developers define local code.

Navigation, neighborhood logic
Branded installations
Easy to implement across sites

Brand your territory

Cultural institutions

Not just wayfinding — storytelling. We turn parks, and public events into a proper spatial experiences.

Temporary installations
Spatial identity for exhibitions
Materials that blend, not clash

Design your presence

Why doesn’t the town feel cohesive?

Because it’s not really a system — it’s a collection
of signs, materials, and design guesses from different teams and years.

You’ve got an entry sign from 2016, a park bench from a private contractor, a kiosk spec buried in some PDF…
and every architect or district does their own thing. Landscape wants wood. The city wants metal. Developers slap on what fits their budget. At some point, no one checks what belongs — they just do what works for now. That’s not identity. That’s drift.

A real territorial code creates clarity — so public space looks connected, not cobbled together. Marketing tweaks it. Product compresses it. Events reinvent it.

What goes into territory branding?

A sign isn’t just a sign

It’s a landmark, a photo spot, a civic symbol. We design each piece to carry weight — culturally and functionally.

Typography

Placement logic

One specification, many builders

From city staff to private developers, everyone should
be able to follow the code without creative guesswork.

Contractor-ready

Fallback rules

Weather, time, vandalism

Materials that survive what public space throws at them — and still look connected.

Durable

Realistic

Wayfinding with logic

From station to square to sign — we map movement,
not just objects.

Path logic

Icon system

If every district looks different — it’s time.

Cost of place branding

Code matters. Your pricing depends on what we’re designing, how visible it is,
and how many teams need to use it — not just how pretty it looks.

Territory research & positioning

~ $11,000

Visual identity concept

~ $10,000

Implementation toolkit

~ $5,500

*Final cost depends on research depth, asset range, and delivery format.

Why clients choose Toimi

Alex Rivers

CEO

Big thanks to the Toimi team! Everything was done thoughtfully, tastefully, and right on schedule. Loved how design and development were handled together — quick approvals, quick launch. Super easy to work with.

Karina Miller

Manager

We came in with a task tailored to our business — and everything was adapted to fit, no templates. What we appreciated most is that they didn't just think about how to build it, but why. You can feel the care in their approach.

Mark Holzman

Manager

We ordered a webinar interface design and a couple of fintech-related things from Toimi — everything was on point. What stood out was that they didn't just deliver, but also suggested ways to simplify. We took notes.
