New Jersey Community Capital

Design of a comprehensive brand identity for New Jersey Community Capital, a community development financial institution (CDFI).

 

Rebranding community development


Challenge

NJCC’s identity had been designed at a time when they were much smaller and it no longer reflected the breadth of their impact and reach. They knew they would have even greater credibility with a smart new look that matched their aspiration and potential—one that articulated the story of NJCC through those who benefit from their funding.

Solution

Informed by extensive stakeholder interviews, we designed a new logo. From there, we developed a full branding system including a color palette, typography, icon library, and infographic style. We also art directed photo shoots throughout the state to create an extensive custom photo library featuring the very people and communities that NJCC serves.

Result

The result was a thorough regeneration of the brand identity that accurately reflected the organization through its website, stationery, signage, Strategic Plan and multiple Annual Reports.
