Identity, stationery, signage, and print collateral for a new civic organization working to build a better Cleveland by attracting talented people to the area. The logo represents the convergence of different people and energies coming into the city. It was important for them to be seen as vibrant, energetic, and youthful. Bright colors were part of this strategy, while the type grounded the mark and allowed for high readability. We further expanded the mark into patterns to help grow their brand identity.

Identity and web elements designed for Ohio organization focused around agricultural business. Their primary interest is in using better networking to connect and grow businesses involved with the agriculture industry. Their business prospects are diverse, so we avoided heavy usage of green and plant imagery to better define their brand as networking and community growth. The honeycomb matrix was fitting and we carefully selected colors that were strong—but subdued—for differentiation. Website design was in collaboration with Jeff Schuler.
