New Brand & Identity Concept for a Bank

Hello there! Welcome back to Jennifer’s Visual Design Blog section. I know I have not been able to publish here lately due to some overwhelming projects. Since the semester has come to an end, and I have room to breath now. I wanted to show a few of the projects that I have been working on throughout my college semester.

This particular project is aimed toward establishing a new brand and identity for a small town bank that I have known for years. This particular bank is not quite up-to-date with today’s technology that is provided within our society. I started this project in aims to help understand the key benefits towards keeping up-to-date with the everyday standards within the technological world that we live in. I started from scratch with a new color palette, and then worked my way towards making this bank mobile worthy.  Within this blog post I am going to show what elements I presented within different outlooks, and show you what the overall identity would be presented for this brand.

Summer Internship 2016

The dog days of summer are coming to an end, but I enjoyed every minute of it! This past summer of 2016 I had the chance to be a Graphic Design Intern at a local organization here in Fort Wayne, IN  known as Associated Churches of Fort Wayne and Allen County. I had the privilege of helping their Creative Department by enhancing a variety of their inner organizations with creative redesigning and re-branding  through a multitude of ways.


Logo Designing was one of the great accomplishments I was able to establish during my summer internship. I was able to create two new design re-brands for their organizations.

  • The Landing Logo: The Landing is an organization that Associated Churches has  put together to help troubled teens with a place to feel comfortable and safe in times of need.  I re-branded their logo design with a two-in-one design that has a typographic form and a symbol form, and together makes an overall balanced logo.
  • Hunger Action Month Logo: Hunger Action Month is a county wide can food drive that helps stock up their pantry for families in times of need. They pass out their collected foods at a wide variety of food pantries within the Fort Wayne district to help out their community with hunger needs. I redesigned their logo with a fall theme in mind that establishes colors and a concept of a pear and plate combined.

Pamphlet-Brochure Designing was a effort all in itself. If you have ever designed a layout for a template of a brochure then you understand. I was able to create two designed pamphlets for Associated Churches that are located within their main building.

  • Planned Guide to Giving:The Planned Guide to Giving Pamphlet is a 5 page information packet that focuses toward the Retirement Plans and Funeral Arrangements Packages they offer for elderly individuals. I designed this pamphlet with a overall natural theme with bright colors and pleasantly  focused imagery.
  • Programs Guide: The Programs Guide is a generalized information packet that lets individuals know all the programs and organizations that Associated Churches provides and also helps function within their large networking association.

Last, but not least I was able to put my creative uses towards helping establish an overall email for a Community Prayer Breakfast Event that was sent out to all of Associated Churches networking individuals. The ideal theme for this email was with it being a Prayer Breakfast, that I wanted to establish a comfortable feel with using imagery that incorporated food, coffee, and that of individuals being social. I used two complimentary fonts throughout the email, while establishing an overall Red-Maroon look through out the email also.
