Project details

What we need
  • Consultation regarding the Organization's current branding and desired branding objectives
  • Visual branding guidelines / style guide that include specific colors, fonts, and other graphic design elements to use in print and digital communications materials
  • High-resolution logo delivered electronically (in formats for digital and print use)
Additional details

Imagine you are at a restaurant and you see someone pull out their-flip phone!? Weird, right? Well, that's how we feel looking at our current logo. In other words-our logo/brand needs a serious upgrade! We are looking for a complete fresh redesign of our logo that accurately reflects our mission, vision, and goals.

What we have in place
  • We can provide branding goals which should make design concepts easier to draft.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,817 , allowing us to begin purchasing necessary equipment and/or software as we fully transition to going virtual.

Lately we have expanded our programming and after much consideration we have realized that our logo does not accurately or completely convey our organization's purpose. This project will allow us to visually establish our organization's overarching goal of providing inclusive financial literacy.

Testimonials

My first time working with Terry was great, so when I needed another project done it only made sense to reach back out! Terry used his expertise to bring to life my ideas and scribbles creating a new organization logo that visually showcases our mission and values.
