Rolling Out a Unified Look: TACF Chapter Logos Now Live Across All State Chapters

Published April 17, 2025

The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) is excited to announce the official rollout of newly designed logos for all state chapters. This initiative is part of a larger strategy to create a cohesive and professional visual identity across the entire organization, supporting our shared mission to return the iconic American chestnut to its native range.

Each chapter now has access to a set of three logo variations: horizontal, stacked, and badge-style, along with multiple file types for flexible use in both print and digital formats. These new visual assets are designed to strengthen the connection between chapters and the national brand while making it easier for chapters to maintain a consistent look in outreach, events, and materials.

Chapters have been encouraged to start using their new logos immediately, and as they begin to adopt these new visuals, we look forward to seeing how they appear in creative applications like merchandise, event banners, and educational materials.

TACF is proud of the thoughtful and collaborative rebranding process that brought these logos to life, and we are excited to see them in action. Whether on a hat, newsletter, or social media post, these new logos symbolize a growing, unified effort to bring back the American chestnut.
