The Symbol

Like Sail4th, Liberty Sails, leans forward — in a hopeful, inspiring celebration of 250 years of independence, our ideals, our inclusivity, and our future. The iconic Statue of Liberty symbolizes the sails of international tall ships gathering in the harbor as millions gather on its shores to witness this epic American moment.

About the Logo

Sail4th was modified from a bold, italic sans-serif typeface to be smooth and open. It reflects the forward-motion of tall ships and the modernity of the brand. The 250 was designed in a stylized italic typeface  to reflect the history of the U.S.  In this primary mark, the components piece together to create a dynamic and functional lockup.

About the System

Sail4th 250’s visual system creates a consistent look for all of the events across locations and applications. Colors, patterns, and gradients enhance the brand’s effect and produces dynamic and exciting visuals. Initial applications include stationery, hats, and banners.
