The City of Trotwood is a growing municipality in Montgomery County, just outside Dayton, Ohio. With a unique blend of rural charm and urban access, Trotwood is focused on revitalization, economic development, and community pride. The city partnered with Catapult Creative to reimagine its brand and digital presence to reflect this vision.

The Challenge
Trotwood had long battled outdated perceptions that didn’t match the momentum building within the community. With new development on the rise and a leadership team focused on growth, the city needed a comprehensive rebrand—one that could restore community pride, attract new businesses, and serve residents through a modernized digital infrastructure.
The Strategy
As a trusted Dayton government design partner, we approached the Trotwood project with a full-scale strategy—redefining the city’s visual identity, brand messaging, and online experience. We built everything from the ground up: a new logo, refreshed communications, custom city signage, and an accessible, business-friendly website. Our strategy centered around unity, growth, and accessibility—amplifying the city’s renewed energy.

Our work with the City of Trotwood included brand development, logo design, web strategy, website design and development, SEO and content marketing, city signage, social media graphics, promotional video, photography, and printed materials like brochures, annual reports, and apparel. From marketing campaigns to attract investment to materials for city services, we provided full-spectrum support in design and messaging. As a Dayton graphic design and branding partner, we’ve helped shape a consistent and uplifting presence across every touchpoint.
Branding Approach
The new Trotwood logo is rich with meaning. The branches represent government structure and stability, while the leaves symbolize business growth and opportunity. The berries reflect the citizens—at the heart of everything the city stands for. The tagline "Growing Together" reinforces the city’s shared path forward, blending symbolism with community pride.
Website Design & Functionality
Our Dayton web design team created a streamlined, accessible website that balances civic function with economic development. Key improvements included clearer navigation for residents, easy online bill pay, and a restructured layout to better support Trotwood’s business attraction goals. The result is a flexible platform that serves both citizens and stakeholders, with ongoing impact.
