DSCC UNVEILS NEW LOGO

A refreshed Chamber with a refreshed look The Delaware State Chamber of Commerce has been headquartered at One Commerce Center on 12th and Orange Streets in Downtown Wilmington since the early 1980s. Upon entering a new decade, the organization refreshed its logo for the first time in forty years.

The new logo honors the organizations history and trusted identity while highlighting how the State Chamber is looking towards the future:

• It features the cupola tower at the top of Legislative Hall to represent the State Chamber’s public policy efforts.

• The window is the shape of Delaware to show we are a statewide organization 'looking out' for the entire business community.

• The ‘C’ encircling Legislative Hall stands for ‘Chamber’ and respects the historic brand its members have known over the years.

• The text has ‘bookends’ that spell ‘DE,’ the state’s abbreviation, another nod at being a statewide organization.

While the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce received a fresh coat of paint, it remains true to its mission, which is to promote an economic climate that enables businesses of all sizes and types to become more competitive in a constantly changing, increasingly global and unpredictable environment. The Delaware State Chamber has been serving Delaware’s business community since 1837 and looks forward to continuing this tradition for many years to come.
