Logo and Graphic Standards

The graphic signature of the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion is its only formal identifying mark. It was designed to be distinctive, easy to recognize, and adaptable to all methods of reproduction.

New logo

It is with a great deal of pride that the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion unveiled its new logo in November 2022, which will gradually replace the old visual identity dating back to the merger between the cities of Vaudreuil and Dorion. The updated graphic signature boasts a style that is more modern and dynamic,  reflecting what the City of Vaudreuil-Dorion has become.

 

Logo description

The two distinct logos have been replaced by a V and a D that have now been merged. The City's new logo is designed with a look that is both sleek and dynamic, making it practical and flexible in its use. It is designed to stand the test of time. The visual identity offers a wide range of colours, variations and options. The blue and green were maintained but were given a new tone that is more striking, with an intensity that better reflects the image of the City. The V for Vision expresses Vitality and Value, while the D stands for sustainable Development, Diversity and Dynamism.

Master Plan for Exterior Signage

The objective of the Master Plan for Exterior Signage is to standardize signage and public information and facilitate access to services for citizens and visitors. The plan serves as a guide to help identify the buildings associated to all municipal facilities throughout the territory of Vaudreuil-Dorion.

Old logo

The graphic signature is made up of the logo and the name "Vaudreuil-Dorion". The logo represents the two old municipalities (Vaudreuil and Dorion), amalgamated since 1994.
