logo design

Community Health Center of Richmond is committed to providing services for the poor and uninsured in Staten Island, New York. Whether it is providing services for day laborers who are unable to find work, or for the poor who can't afford basic care, the Community Health Center of Richmond opens its doors and aids the needy.

As CHCR began its fifth year, the center turned to Design for Social GOOD to create a new logo that speaks to its cause. We created an artist rendering of a lighthouse using clean, bold lines to contrast an inviting hand-drawn sun. Yellow, red and orange represent the strength and comfort of the warm glow of the sun.

Design for Social GOOD starts every logo design by asking our clients to fill out a website questionnaire so that we can clearly understand their needs and their design guidelines and learn about their voice and goals.

We're pleased to help the Community Health Center of Richmond shine a light on its organization by designing its new logo.

Check back as we design a new print suite with the lighthouse logo as the centerpiece in the design.

Design for Social GOOD design team creates an entire print suite for non-profit working to aid formerly homeless adults.

From the intiial logo design we embraced the iterative design process.  It's a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining until we get to the point where both the designer and the client embrace the logo and identity. Our goal was to put a fresh face on their non-profit by incorporating bold design aesthetics with a clean look. From logo to letterhead and envelopes to business cards, the continuity in the design was consistant and the message was clear.

Design for Social GOOD's design team designed an entire print suite to accompany a new branding campaign for the Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless in New York City.

For the past six months we've worked with ACE on an entire branding campaign, logo and design suite, photo and video shoots and in the coming week's we'll unveil a newly designed and coded website with a wordpress contentent management system.

Working with experts in nonprofit management from Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, Design for Social GOOD put together a 100+ page branding report to jump start the entire process.

We're giving ACE the tools they'll need to put a face on their organization. A face that represents the thousands of formerly homeless adults they've help to transition into the work force. Check back in the coming weeks as we launch ACENewyork.

D4SG is proud to launch Consequences by NOOR. With less than 60 days before the start of COP15, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, NOOR turned to Design for Social Good to design the Consequences by NOOR logo, design and code the fully integrated Consequences blog and direct a massive social media campaign for their project.

Using a custom framework, D4SG built a smart photo blog, seamlessly integrating the blog into NOOR's current site design. Specifically designed to showcase photographs, this design puts both form and function at the forefront. Integrating social networking, a contact form, smart information architecture and custom css, Consequences by NOOR "puts a face" on NOOR's project.

About Consequences by Noor

From the frontiers of climate change comes a photographic project of exceptional honesty and vision. Consequences by NOOR features the work of nine internationally acclaimed photographers who have documented the devastating effects of climate change on millions of people around the globe. These stunning photographs show not what might happen in the future but what is happening today.

The exhibits examine the environmental, societal and economic impact of melting glaciers in Greenland, rising sea levels in the Maldives and Southeast Asia, drought, famine and civil war in Darfur, pine beetle destruction in the forests of British Columbia, oil sand mining in Alberta, ranching and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, brown coal mining in Poland and melting permafrost in Siberia. For the subjects of these photographs, the canary in the mine is already dead, the crisis is here and now.

"Consequences by NOOR" is a unique visual project to be launched during the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in mid December, 2009, when the world's attentions is drawn to the event hosting thousands of international delegates, scientists, journalists and activists.

The project shows the humanitarian consequences of climate changes; not calculated future events but actual facts that have devastating effects on the lives of millions of people around the world today: floods, drought, hunger, disease, animal extinction, conflicts, migrations and loss of human rights.

The GOOD brand team led by Doris Yee designed the logo that will lead the branding effort for the global project.

When The Reiley Group approcahed Design for Social Good to design a new logo for them the first thing that came to mind was big, bold and brilliant.

The design uses a subtle shint in its backdrop to appear "fresh in the market". In other words, the logo can be used in various media and always remain big, bold and brilliant.

The Reiley Group was founded by Mame Reiley.

First round of logo designs for Connecticut Legal Aid Network.

With every logo design we produce we go through a series of iterations as we try to design the true essence of every organization we work with.
