Art, Murals, and the ‘<strong>Derby</strong>’ Designation/Brand - <strong>Derby</strong> is a growing arts district, with<br />

several new galleries taking up residence in existing <strong>Derby</strong> buildings, and murals displaying<br />

the character and history of <strong>Derby</strong> painted on several buildings within the district. Although<br />

the ‘<strong>Derby</strong>’ name and the location of the <strong>Derby</strong> district are not as well known today as in its<br />

rapid growth during the Rocky Mountain Arsenal time period, there is also a historic trend to<br />

promote the ‘<strong>Derby</strong>’ name in signage and murals, that continues today. When designing the<br />

new signage palette, using the <strong>Derby</strong> name within the signage family would ensure the new<br />

signage reflects the history and cultural traditions of the district.<br />
