Here is the new brand for Connecticut! The image shows a few creative ways the brand can be used.

The brand was designed to reflect our identity as a state of makers, creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are a powerful force for good in our country. It is being elevated with an energetic and inspiring marketing campaign with the theme, “Make It Here,” created to show how our home state is one of the best places in the nation to live and work. You can watch the new :60 state commercial at www.CTMakeItHere.com

We are excited to incorporate the new brand throughout the Connecticut Building!
