Syracuse University, College of Visual and Performing Arts
Brand, Environmental, Mission, vision, values, Interactive
The College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University needed to refresh its position as an educator of cultural leaders. To assist a new dean in realizing her goals, we worked with faculty, staff and students to define their mission, vision and values. We then translated this strategy into a brand personality, identity system and website.
The Richard H. Driehaus Museum
Brand, Communication program, Interactive, Mission, vision, values
To share his passion for how buildings and objects are made, Richard Driehaus established a museum housed in a Gilded Age mansion. The Museum is a premier example of historic preservation, offering visitors an experience of how the prevailing design philosophies of the period were interpreted by artists, architects and designers during the closing decades of the 19th century in Chicago.
Washington University, Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts
In July 2006, the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis became official. A synergistic union of the College of Art, College of Architecture, and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, the Sam Fox School needed a visual identity to communicate its vision of sharing ideas.
