American Graphic Design Awards 2025
A vibrant brand identity centers community voices to drive climate policy and action with clarity and urgency.
For Community Climate Shift, we created a campaign brand that makes the mission instantly clear to funders and partners by centering frontline communities in building policy. The identity uses two interlocking C forms to create an S for “Shift,” suggesting movement, collaboration, and healthier buildings. A warm, energetic palette and a handwritten “shift” motif signal community authorship and real voices, not corporate distance. The system scales easily from funder decks to social to events, keeping the human story up front while guiding audiences to act. The result is a clear, flexible brand that turns urgency into understanding and momentum into support.
