-Seth Godin
Godin is right. Branding is so much more than your organization’s logo. Now, social media makes brands incredibly interactive and helps consumers shape the brands they choose.
Logo for Swink Solutions
Heather Swink is the founder of Swink Solutions, a writing and marketing consultancy that works with non profits. Heather wanted a logo that incorporated a pen as a nod to her days as a journalist.

ASDA’s Wellness Initiative
At the American Student Dental Association, the members helped shape the brand of our wellness initiative. Below you’ll find the logo I created for ASDA’s wellness initiative. the logo is clean and incorporates the association’s main logo as well as the initiative’s hashtag.

Here are some examples of how I used the branding in a series of postcards given to meeting attendees:
