Arizona Office of Tourism has introduced a brand-new logo and identity today, reflecting the state’s rich heritage and dynamic spirit in an optimistic leap into the future. Spearheaded by the creative team at the Phoenix-based ad agency Heart & Soul Marketing, this rebranding effort embodies the essence of Arizona through a thoughtfully crafted visual representation.
Arizona is more than just a place; it is an amalgamation of diverse landscapes, cultures, and experiences. The challenge was to encapsulate this multifaceted identity into a single emblem. To achieve this, the team engaged with Arizonans from all walks of life, gathering insights into what makes the state unique. They explored the colors, textures, and symbols that resonate with residents, resulting in a holistic design that truly reflects the state’s spirit.
Hannah Heisler, an associate creative director at Heart and Soul, led this ambitious project. Her recent accolade as Young Ad Person of the Year by the Arizona Chapter of the American Advertising Federation highlights her exceptional talent. Joining her were Matt Fisher, a seasoned creative in the valley, and Kevin Kuiu, a designer whose Hopi heritage adds a deep cultural layer to the project.
The new logo is a stunning testament to Arizona’s past and future. At its core is a radiant sun, symbolizing the state’s vibrant and enduring energy. The design utilizes a mandala pattern, a timeless art form that represents the cyclical nature of life and the interconnectedness of all things. This circular motif allows the design to honor Arizona’s history while looking forward to its future.
The logo intricately weaves together various elements from across the state:
The color palette, aptly named “Vivid Terrain,” incorporates:
For the team at Heart and Soul, this rebranding project has been a labor of love. The goal is for every Arizonan to see a piece of themselves in the new design, celebrating their stories and the state’s collective future.
As Arizona enters this new era, the updated logo is a beacon of pride and progress, inviting all to embrace the bright future.

Across the deserts, grasslands, and pine forests of Arizona and New Mexico, native predators once prowled: jaguars, wolves, and even grizzly bears once claimed Arizona as their home. Today, most of these species are gone, victims of hunting, habitat loss, and human expansion. But what if human intervention could remedy this? advertisement Jaguars Conservationists have long debated reintroducing jaguars into their historic range. Unlike some extinct or extirpated species, jaguars have garnered public fascination and broad support, making their comeback more politically and socially viable. Reintroducing jaguars wouldn’t just be a symbolic victory; it could help restore complex ecological interactions
Buying your first home can be exciting and a little nerve-wracking. For many buyers in Phoenix, Tucson, and the surrounding areas, one common concern is termites.

The Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is one of the rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America and a symbol of both ecological resilience and conservation success.

Their disappearance from the wild was driven by habitat loss, hunting, and predator control programs. The survival of this subspecies depended entirely on careful intervention and breeding programs.
