Logo Design: Black & Proud to Be College Bound

Black & Proud to Be College Bound

Coming up in March, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation is continuing their evolution of the College Bound Brotherhood with the Black & Proud to Be College Bound Conference. The Conference focuses on a series of workshops for student members of the Brotherhood, but also includes exhibition space for the member organizations.

 

For the front-facing event image, the Foundation wanted something of permanence that could be used in future years and lend the Brotherhood an established collegiate feel. It needed to be something to represent both the program and the young black men that the program is all about.

These days, most nonprofits go paperless for their annual reports, creating PDFs and simply e-amilng them to their contacts. But the folks over at the Kapor Foundation wanted to do something more engaging with a little more personality, so they all did their part to report the yearly financials in front of the green screen.

Kapor Center Postcard Flyers

Kapor Center Postcard Flyers

After we got the It's Time murals up on the walls of the Kapor Center, we figured it would make sense to let the large scale murals make their ways into the hands of others in the community. As a result, we created simple 4x6 postcards that we put around the office, leave at events, and hand out at conferences.
