Learn More about the SDDOT Logo
The South Dakota Department of Transportation officially launched a new logo in 2021!
Our branding and identity are the foundation to communicate SDDOT’s message consistently, professionally, and with our strategic objectives at the center of our actions.
Our SDDOT team was instrumental in helping us design a logo that depicted a fresh, clean look; yet kept the state of South Dakota at the heart of our look and message. We also spent a considerable amount of time thinking about a color scheme to fully represent the work we do and the people we proudly serve each and every day through the SDDOT.
