Project details

What we need
  • Consultation regarding the Organization's current branding and desired branding objectives
  • Visual branding guidelines / style guide that include specific colors, fonts, and other graphic design elements to use in print and digital communications materials
  • High-resolution logo delivered electronically (in formats for digital and print use)
Additional details

We have a logo and a sublogo, but no brand guidelines or cohesions. We need a visual identity developed around our logo, and brand guidelines created for our staff and consultant use.

What we have in place
  • We currently have logo, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have marketing saavy staff, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,817 , allowing us to provide personalized service to bilingual families

This project is important because the Institute of Music for Children has a small budget of under $1m and 6 staff members. We have no marketing/communications staff, and several people share these roles. A cohesive brand will enable us to ramp up the look, feel and professionalism of our organization. As an arts organization trying to attract new donors, this is critical.
