Branding

Riverbend Community Association had the same logo and no branding for over 30 years! In 2020 we decided it was time for a new, fresh look to keep up with our ever-growing community. 

We also introduced our Spirit Gear online store where you can purchase Riverbend swag! Order countless items and customize the design in an unlimited number of ways. Let’s all show how we LOVE Riverbend!
