A rebranding project that evokes refuge and harmony for a wildlife sanctuary through thoughtful design elements.
The Wild Animal Sanctuary Project is a rebranding initiative from Maryland Institute College of Art that aims to enhance the organization’s identity to better reflect its mission of wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation. The design solution focuses on creating a visual language that conveys a sense of refuge and harmony, using a palette of deep greens and soft earth tones to connect with nature. The logo features a soft dome form symbolizing protection and home, while a refined serif typeface adds a timeless elegance. This thoughtful reimagining of the sanctuary’s identity reinforces its commitment to providing a peaceful haven for rescued animals, ultimately fostering a deeper connection between the sanctuary and its community.
