Client overview

The New York Project is in the third phase of its 10 year strategy to advance gospel renewal & social good in New York City.

The need

They approached us to help evolve their brand and update their website.

What we did

Keeping key recognisable elements such as the logo from the previous phases of the project, we refreshed the brand by introducing vivid new colours and a bold application of the brand across its assets through the use of typography and photography. We created examples of how the brand could look across different print and digital media to help the client understand the potential of the design toolkit.

As part of our work for the New York Project, we developed a distinct look and feel for the ES Building launch – a milestone celebration, 10 years in the making for the New York Project. At the heart of the identity was a bespoke illustration of a New York streetscape, interwoven with moments from the project’s history. Drawing on the building’s architectural language, we crafted a cohesive event identity that translated seamlessly across print and digital touch points, resulting in an experience that felt both playful and refined.
