ATLANTA — The Atlanta Beltline says it’s rebranding to match how Atlanta has grown and evolved, and to more truly reflect the city’s energy and diversity.
The organization announced Thursday that going forward, they’d be updating their brand through a new logo that they’re calling “The Beacon.”
“The Beacon is the heart of our new logo, and each element within it is meaningful. The central shape signifies the heart of Atlanta, where all of our communities converge,” the Beltline said in a statement. “The surrounding shapes illustrate the connection of those communities, and together they radiate outward, symbolizing the inclusive and sustainable growth that the Beltline fosters.”

As part of the rebrand and logo design, Atlanta Beltline says they chose a new color palette that celebrates the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, with colors that show “symbolic historical, cultural, and natural ties to both the city and the state.”
