Brand

About 2,000 years ago, the land where present-day Goryeong-gun now stands washome to the ancient kingdom of Daegaya.
Goryeong-gun is a city shaped by the brilliant heritage and mystical culture of Daegaya. The sweeping landscape of the Jisan-dong Tumuli, where the traces of Daegaya remain perfectly preserved, makes it feel as though Gaya itself sculpted the region into existence.

"Goryeong, Created by Gaya"
This slogan captures the essence of Goryeong-gun as "a city born from Gaya and shaped by its enduring legacy."

Design Concept

The Slogan Highlighted by the Tumuli: To spotlight the slogan, the design directly incorporates the motif of the ancient tombs—one of Goryeong’s most iconic visual elements.

The Harmony of Block and Rounded Lettering: The bold, block-style typography symbolically reflects the diverse artifacts preserved in Goryeong. In contrast, the rounded font used for “Goryeong” is inspired by the circular shapes of the ancient tombs, naturally echoing the gentle ridgelines of the landscape.

The Colors of Daegaya’s Four Seasons: Mystical shades of blue are applied throughout the slogan to capture the unique atmosphere of Daegaya. At the same time, vibrant green and golden yellow are woven into the motif to reflect the changing beauty of the tumuli across the four seasons.
