The Brand

The Brand

Goulburn River Valley - The Heart of Victoria

Goulburn River Valley Tourism held a series of workshops across the region in February 2010 to seek industry involvement and input in to the development of the brand name and logo of the organisation.

Over 300 tourism industry stakeholders participated in workshops in Shepparton, Broadford, Nagambie and Yea and identified the top brand attributes of the region as:

  • The Goulburn River and the Ranges
  • The easy access to the region (via road, rail and car)
  • The ability to host leisure activities and events year round

Following extensive market testing with the key target market, the name Goulburn River Valley - The Heart of Victoria was selected. The brand name and logo developed represent the diversity and natural beauty of the region with the logos blue and green swishes signifying the mountains and waterways of the region.
