✺ THE CHALLENGE
How we saw it
"Good People NYC™ deserved a brand that was approachable, friendly and filled with community spirit."
With a mission to help people across impoverished and established communities, the company needed a brand that inspired trust and a space of shared love and interest. We focused on developing a visual and language system that delivered a calm and smiling attitude
Challenges :
▸ Identify core mission pillars of the company's work to establish keystones for the brand.

✺ OUR APPROACH
The Tactic
"I wanted to fill the brand design with New York spirit alongside a community friendly and lovable image."
How could I distil the deeply serious and yet, loving mission of the company, into a brand that offered a loving and approachable face for the people it aims to help? My approach was to inspire New York spirit and craft a message that offered a place for everyone to learn, grow and connect.

✺ WHAT I DID
The Contribution
"I built an identity that is trustworthy and filled with personality."
I equipped Good People NYC™ with a friendly brand identity using light, soft colours and approachable brand elements. I used iconography such as the smiley and hearts to convey a sense of New York spirit, alongside a welcoming image. The typography and design choices were all backed by the thought of ensuring that any member of the community, or passer by, was comforted and at ease. Good People NYC™ provide the space for people to grow, learn and unwind, their new brand matched that vision.
Outcomes :
▸ Brand Design (Logo, Typography, Colour, Pattern)
▸ Social Media Design (Templates, Messaging)
▸ Signage, Merch (Good People Tote, Pop up signs)
