… A Non-Profit Logo Design
A seasoned Nigerian-American diplomat decided to organize a non-profit, AFRILINK Entrepreneurs Intl., that pairs professional young African entrepreneurs with American business mentors to enrich the small business efforts of stable African communities.
Creating this brand, we started with the logo. The logo needed to speak to multiple markets. First, we are speaking to the established American professionals (potential mentors) who are interested in investing in Africa’s economy.… Read More ›
Designing with Type
Occasionally we get to do a gallery card in which the artwork is not yet available, which means we get to really showcase the fonts in the design. This mash up combines a font classics like American Typewriter with a new heavy-hitter like Bebas.
