Brand identity relaunch for the 2024 NYCxDESIGN Festival. The updated identity was developed through consideration of the extensive programming offered by NYCxDESIGN. The minimal type-centric direction gives the identity a confident and international feeling while the motion and color palette convey a playful tone.

NYCxDESIGN is a not-for-profit organization created in 2011 through a NYC City Council initiative. The organization aims to celebrate and promote the design industry in New York City
