Summary
Nonprofit visual identity using a 2x2 grid of colored cards with matched messaging and geometric symbol patterns conveying actionable themes around progress and community.
Visual description
Cream-toned header displays "Hering Foundation" in black sans-serif with a horizontal rule. Below, a 2x2 grid of color-blocked cards: pale mint-green (top-left) with "Accelerating progress through action" and geometric grid marks in increasing stroke weight; dark navy (top-right) with "If we want to go far, we need to go together" and repeating X pattern; soft blue-grey (bottom-left) with "Leveraging capital and technology" and offset horizontal strokes; pale butter-yellow (bottom-right) with "Doing well by doing good" and diamond shapes. Each card bears the "-Hering -Foundation" logotype in appropriate contrast. The symbol patterns use simple drawn marks that reinforce each tagline's meaning.
Key takeaway
A modular grid system where each card pairs a mission statement with a bespoke, minimal geometric pattern that reinforces the message. The restrained color blocking creates visual variety without complexity. The mark patterns (strokes, grids, diamonds) are simple enough to scale across applications but distinctive enough to be brandable.
Reuse notes
Ideal for nonprofit, educational, or social-impact brands needing to communicate multiple strategic pillars. The grid format is flexible: can be 2x2, 1x4, or individual cards. Works equally in print and digital. The symbol approach is reusable for different taglines and avoids the generic feel of stock icons.
