THE CHALLENGE

No Identity, No Cohesion.

No Identity, No Cohesion.

The campaign had not had an official logo or cohesive brand identity for over 8 years. Existing materials were inconsistent and lacked the visual presence needed for an event of this scale. The goal was to build a campaign system with a strong visual identity that volunteers, members, and donors would immediately recognize across social and digital channels.

THE APPROACH

A System Built to Stand Out.

A System Built to Stand Out.

The campaign began with the logo. A strong visual anchor built around Stephen Alonzo Jackson, pairing a bold typographic lockup with photography-forward layouts. Every asset was designed to work in series rather than stand alone, with color and contrast used deliberately to signal a premium event identity without breaking from the broader Fraternity system. The color scheme draws from Fraternity branding but applies a specific orange-green treatment to set the campaign apart. The gold references Jackson's "Apples of Gold" speech, one of the most recognized addresses in the Fraternity's history. The mark adopts the Fraternity crest and features a silhouette of the SAJ statue unveiled at the 150th Anniversary Grand Conclave at Kappa Sigma's International Headquarters and Campus.

Brand Evolution

2017 to 2026.

2017 to 2026.

Below is a 3x3 grid showing the evolution of the Campaign through Profile Pictures.

I started shaping the Campaign's branding in 2021 (bottom row) as an Intern and now as a Contractor in 2026 with 2026 being the direction that best fits the campaign after year-to-year revisions and improvements.

The current statue render shown in the second row was a photo taken in 2019 during the 150th Anniversary unveiling at Kappa Sigma International Headquarters and Campus. Photo I took referenced below now repurposed into a reusable asset.
