Apex For Youth Rebrand
OVERVIEW:
A comprehensive rebrand of Apex For Youth, a NYC based non-profit supporting underserved Asian-American immigrant youth through mentoring, educational programs, athletics, and after school care. The final mark references Asian stamps as a confident and proud homage to cultural identity, one of the defining factors of this organization. The letters inside the mark allude to both Asian calligraphic forms and patterns, and can also be utilized as building blocks in application. The chosen paired typeface, Poppins, pulls in round, friendly forms to modernize and emphasize the youth aspect.
