Muncie Action Plan Brand Identity Overview

The Challenge

Muncie Action Plan needed a cohesive brand identity that would unify their main organization with multiple taskforces, each focused on different community initiatives, while maintaining a clear visual identity and professional credibility.

The Solution

A comprehensive brand system starting with a redesigned main logo, then expanding to include individual taskforce identities, professional stationery, and a complete annual report that showcased their community impact.

Phase 1: Logo Design Process

Fall semester focused on developing the main logo through research, concept exploration, and client collaboration.
