Introducing Our New Look: The Fresh Face of Visit Mason City

Last Updated 5/27/2025Posted in What's New Spotlight


Mason City has always been a place where art, architecture, music, and nature meet—and now, our new brand reflects that harmony in a vibrant, modern way. Visit Mason City is proud to unveil our new logo, a bold visual that speaks to both the history and future of tourism in our community.

A Logo That Tells Our Story
Our new brand mark is more than just a pretty design—it's a story in color and shape. Each element has been thoughtfully crafted to represent the best of what Mason City offers to visitors and locals alike:

  • Blue Waves – Representing the Winnebago River that winds through our city, these waves nod to both natural beauty and outdoor recreation.
  • Green Lines – Symbolizing Mason City's growing network of trails, this layer celebrates exploration, connection, and the fresh air that calls us outside year-round.
  • Architectural Arch Motif – Inspired by our world-renowned Prairie School architecture, this abstract "M" speaks to the unique structures and design heritage that put Mason City on the map.
  • Bold Reds and Oranges – A vibrant palette that honors the city's passionate music history—from Meredith Willson’s The Music Man to our ongoing tradition of performances and cultural events.
Rooted in History, Designed for the Future
Mason City has long been a hidden gem for those who love history, creativity, and community. From the Historic Park Inn—the last remaining hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright—to the toe-tapping sounds of 76 Trombones, our story is rich and resonant.

The new Visit Mason City brand honors that legacy while inviting a new generation of explorers to discover what makes our city so special. Whether you’re strolling through the architectural wonders of Rock Crest–Rock Glen, biking the trails that connect our parks, or enjoying a festival downtown, we want you to feel the energy and authenticity that’s unmistakably Mason City.

What’s Next
This logo is just the beginning. In the coming months, you’ll see this refreshed branding across our website, visitor materials, signage, and social media. It’s a symbol of momentum—of where we’ve been and where we’re going.

So come take a fresh look at Mason City. Whether you're a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, there's never been a better time to explore what makes us uniquely us.
