St. Vincent and the Grenadines has unveiled a new tourism identity under the invitation “Set Your Spirit Free,” bringing its volcanic landscapes, island-hopping waters and cultural traditions into a shared destination brand. The tourism authority revealed the identity at the country’s Independence Rally on October 27.
The new look is built around three themes: Nature and Adventure, Culture and Celebration, and Marine Paradise. Together, they present the Caribbean country’s 32 islands and cays as a destination for experiences that extend from rainforest walks to sailing and community celebrations.

A New Identity Rooted in Vincentian Life
The tourism authority’s brand reveal draws on the country’s landscapes, heritage, national colours and people. It connects time on the water with inland exploration and the everyday rhythms of Vincentian life.
In the launch statement carried by iWitness News, SVGTA chief executive Shafia London described an identity that Vincentians at home and abroad should recognise as their own. The development process combined agency expertise with feedback from local stakeholders through a focus group.
What the Logo’s Details Mean
The design brings several national references into one scene. A mountain recalls La Soufrière’s volcanic profile, accompanied by a waterfall and birds in flight. A symbol inspired by the carved stone at Layou Petroglyph Park acknowledges Indigenous heritage, while the sea, sailboat and island silhouettes reflect the country’s maritime character.
Three diamond-shaped outlines draw on the national flag and also echo homes raised on posts across Vincentian hillsides. In the lettering, the arches of the “n” refer to Kingstown’s reputation as the City of Arches. The wider colour palette takes its cues from the islands’ seas, forests, flowers, sunshine and shores.
Three Ways to Explore the Islands
The visual identity follows a marketing framework presented by the tourism authority at the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s SOTIC conference earlier in October. That approach gives travel advisers and visitors three ways to understand the destination:
- Marine Paradise: sailing, yachting and island hopping through the Grenadines, with snorkelling and diving among the marine experiences
- Nature and Adventure: forest trails, waterfalls, rivers, volcanic landscapes and the black-sand beaches of mainland St. Vincent
- Culture and Celebration: Vincy Mas, Nine Mornings, Garifuna heritage, the Bequia Easter Regatta and traditions such as artisanal boatbuilding
The Tobago Cays illustrate the marine side of that invitation. The tourism authority describes five uninhabited islands east of Mayreau, surrounded by reefs and lagoons, with designated anchorages and a turtle-watching reserve near Baradal.
Beyond a New Tourism Slogan
For travellers, the identity offers a way to connect experiences across the islands: a sailing itinerary can include time with local communities, while a stay on St. Vincent can combine the coast with inland landscapes. The campaign brings those possibilities together rather than presenting beach holidays as the destination’s only draw.
We previously covered the country’s tourism upgrade plans. The new identity adds a shared marketing language to that broader destination story, with Vincentian people and the connections between land, sea and culture at its centre.
