Better Together is an event track during Design Week Portland that is focused on bridging the gap between the creative world and the non-profit sector. In collaboration with Leah Maldonado, a new umbrella identity was brought to life for three events under the Better Together track. We focused on using simple, geometric shapes and legible typography to create something simple and approachable by both sides of the audience. Our brand was most heavily applied to their new event: Better Talk.
