AMCES Rebrand
AMCES is an association management firm based in Ottawa, ON that works with national and international not-for-profits to help run their organizations and events. The goal for the rebrand was to modernize their brand to better reflect their professionalism and forward thinking business practices.
Objective
The client's rebrand objectives were to have a modern look and feel, provide a feeling of advancing and improving, and to transition to the AMCES acronym. They also wanted the new logo to feel connected with the original logo by having a similar triangle symbol as it is widely recognized within their field.
Process
The branding process began with the creation of the new logo. I created a number of iterations of symbols based on the original blue triangle concept aimed at capturing the feeling of advancing, improving, and creating forward motion.
