Protect the Parks
Protect the Parks is a non-profit organization with the goal of saving the national parks by appealing to young leaders. I invented the brand, developed the brand identity, and designed various brand applications as well as campaigns.
The US National Parks are in danger. As the next generation of leaders emerges, more facts regarding the threats facing the parks today needs to reach these youth in an effective and engaging manner. This target group needs resources, inspiration, and motivation to continue the protection efforts that previous generations before them began. To address this problem, I created Protect the Parks, a non-profit organization with the mission of saving the U.S. National Parks by putting them at the forefront of the issues that emerging leaders care about.
My solution to this problem included developing a recognizable and bold brand identity that aids in the organization’s mission of educating young leaders and motivating them to take action and get involved. Inspired by the wild, the minimal, yet vibrant brand identity is memorable and provides a sense of urgency with eye-catching typography, colors, visuals, copy, and more. As the core of the brand, the Protect the Parks logo draws from the American Wild West to evoke a sense of nostalgia. From the website to business cards to digital ads and other brand applications, I developed a cohesive and strong brand that facilitates the mission and objectives of Protect the Parks.
