1827Weddings Blog: Brand development for new Indigenous Research Centre

Hello Friends! We know it's been a while since our last blog but we have a good reason! We've had a lot of projects with photography and design to keep us busy and.....[insert drum roll here] 1827 is moving! Yes, we're moving in June this year to expand our working and living space! Our plan is to not only upgrade from our current space, but to also incorporate a studio space in our home. We're very excited! We'll keep you posted on the progress and renovations...hopefully as painless for us as possible!

In the meantime, let's catch up! Last year, we worked on an amazing logo design for a research centre that was established in the same year. The Chair of the centre was looking for a Native artwork inspired logo that would convey the message of indigenous issues and government policies and at the same time, promoting the new research and resource centre for professionals, students, and of course, Native Canadians. The brainstorming began and we offered up several beautifully designed logos; however, the designs weren't hitting the mark just yet but we did have a starting point. Feathers! In the end, as our client said, we hit it right on the nose! The client loved it!

The logo first appeared on posters that the centre, along with other collaborators, sponsored for a series of 5 speaker events that took place throughout the year. One speaker of this series was former Prime Minister Paul Martin! As we continue this relationship with our client, we are getting more and more work on promotional items for this centre. See what we've done below and of course, more to come!
