New
Name, New Look, Same Organization -- the BBNEP is now the
Barnegat Bay Partnership
The
Barnegat Bay National Estuary Program now has a new name – the
Barnegat Bay Partnership -- and a new logo, pictured here.
Over the past several
years, we increasingly recognized that our former name and public “brand
image” were not easily remembered or recognized by many groups with
which we work. We were often confused with other organizations and our
partners were not always recognized or acknowledged appropriately.
With the support of our
Advisory Committee, we began a comprehensive branding project last fall
to address this issue as part of our Communications Planning. We
solicited proposals from the marketing and graphic design community, and
chose the New York-based firm Raven & Crow. With their expert
assistance, our staff engaged key stakeholders to develop a clearly
recognizable and easily-understood name and image for our organization.
The name Barnegat Bay Partnership communicates at a glance the
nature of our organization's structure; the simplified logo should
improve our recognition; and lastly the logo tag line -- "Research Educate Restore"
-- communicates our priorities.
Our name change is now official, however
it may take some time to fully transition all of our materials,
including this website, into the new look. The new Barnegat Bay
Partnership website, launching this summer, will feature our new logo
and name exclusively. Stay tuned.

questions about our name or logo change, please contact us, (732)
