Derwent Valley Community Brand

To reduce the number of face-to-face interactions with the community and protect our staff and their ability to carry out ongoing essential services, the Derwent Valley Council Offices are open to the public from 10am - 4pm from Monday 24 August for essential visits only.

Council operating hours are still 8.15am – 5pm (Mon - Fri) and Council services can be accessed over the phone, by email or via our website. We encourage all enquiries by phone or email where possible.

Council has worked with multiple award-winning brand consultancy For the People to create the Derwent Valley Community Branding Identity.

It's a way for our businesses and tourism operators, community members and council to have a consistent look and feel for the valley, and for how the rest of the world sees us.

As local businesses and organisations use the Brand, it will help to enhance and build the future of Derwent Valley's businesses, community groups, organisations, activities, events and its people and help to make the valley more well known.

It's free to register and gives you access to the full range of logos, fonts, colour palettes and illustrations along with some guidelines of how to use them.

The guidelines will tell you everything you need to know to get things started. By following them, you can create brochures, websites, beer coasters, jam jars, podcasts, doilies or UFO tours, knowing full well they'll always look and feel true to the Derwent Valley.
