The Resilience Project rebrand needed redress the current disconnect between their values / mission and their visual identity. The visual identity needed to be versatile enough to speak to 3 distinct groups, as well as being inclusive, communicate a sense of safety and belonging, and be disruptive & radical.
disruptive, inclusive, joyful
The aims of the project were to:
• Redress the current disconnect between their values / mission and their visual identity
• Create a visual identity that can speak to their 3 distinct target audience groups
• Work towards creating an audience that is of greater gender parity
• Create a visual identity that is unexpected, different, disruptive, and decolonial
The result is a visual identity which is bold, disruptive, inclusive and aligns with the internal understanding of the organisation. With this new visual identity we created a suite of social media templates (with different styles for their linkedin and instagram audiences) and a pitch deck design.
Logos
The circle layout of the main logo represent the 'Resilience Circles' which are key to their organisation. The font used is bold, strong and disruptive . The icon mark represents eco-anxiety and a fusion between care for the mind and concern for the earth.
Colours
The colour palette is inclusive, versatile, joyful and decolonial. It allows for combinations of colours that work best for both: topics more geared towards deep talk and mental health, and topics more geared towards action/ climate emergency. It is also versatile enough to use different colour combinations depending on the target audience group.
Fonts
The heading font is bold and sharp, and used in all caps. The accent font is a friendly marker style script font that adds a joyful and lighter feel to the brand. The sub heading font is sharp and full of personality. And finally, the body font is a modern, simple font that creates a friendly and accessible feel.
Patterns
The patterns are all made from curved lines which are playful and emphasise the joyful nature of the brand. The soft undulations also create a calming effect. The continuous nature of the lines reflects the nature of reslience & self-preservation: nourishing our capacity so we can keep going in the long run.
Textures
The paper texture reflects the idea of a digital detox. The cardboard texture connects to imagery of activism and protest; it represents making radical change, being courageous and being the change we want to see in the world
