Chicago Center for Leadership and Transformation (CCLT)

Brand Identity | Web Design | Brand Collateral

About

Chicago Center for Leadership and Transformation (CCLT) is building a locally rooted and nationally connected leadership training organization for Black, Brown, AAPI (Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders), and Indigenous social justice activists and community organizers who are committed to the project of collective liberation.

Project Goal

CCLT’s main principles are transformation, community, and impact. The goal of the visual identity was to capture the essence of society, the strength of people of color, and leadership.

Our task was to create an overall brand system that felt serious yet expressive. The circular crest represents unity; it recognizes achievements and legacy. The symbol inside the crest was inspired by the Adinkra symbol of knowledge, life-long education, and continued quest for knowledge. Overall the logo, website, and brand collateral allowed CCLT to share a brave space and encourage those to always walk away with curiosity and belief.
