outreach international brand identity
DESCRIPTION
At our heart, we are humanitarian. Everything we do focuses on people; and more importantly, on the individual. Our brand is a symbol of each person we represent: a member of the field staff; a man, woman or child living in poverty; or a financial supporter. It is representative of all of us, and reminds us that we are all in this together.TRANSCRIPT
IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR,if you want to go fast, go alone.

GO TOGETHER.
OUTREACH INTERNATIONAL BRAND IDENTITY
Although there are strengths in our current brand, our research shows that stakeholders most commonly refer to the brand as:
CONFUSING
CORPORATE
TOO SERIOUS
Refreshing our brand will allow us to retain its important assets while simplifying it and giving our organization a more humanitarian feel.
BRAND = IDENTITY

Our brand will not always be orange. However, the main purpose of the brand is to instill a perception about the mission of our organization.
The color orange represents determination, encouragement and creativity—the very same attributes our staff and impoverished families display in the field.
We want to evoke the same feelings in our supporters that we do in the people we impact in the field.
WHY ORANGE?

The brand is not just a logo. It encompasses the entire look and feel of the organization. Our values and mission are determined by the way we look, talk and interact. Perception is everything. Like our work in the field, our brand needs to be integrated and flexible.

We need to express the humanity of our work through our voice.
We want to be conversational and personal, rather than institutional and technical.
Our supporters are not experts in community development.

Our brand, like our field staff, should work subtly in the background, taking little credit for achievements. The direct and personal relationships are between the supporters and the people living in poverty. Donations and support are a byproduct of that relationship.
OUR GOAL
