The Problem
Woldumar is a self-funded 501(c)3 non-profit environmental education center that does not receive state or federal funds. A new Visitor Center is planned for the near future and many new programs and facilities are desired as well as increases in staff and operation. The current financial resources need to be increased to meet these goals. Much of the marketing pieces were done in house by staff and lacked a consistent and identifiable look to the public. These pieces also needed to reach very different audiences: students, parents, corporate and private sponsors. The Woldumar brand needed enhancement and a focused annual campaign was needed.

The Solution
Brand Design: The Woldumar Nature Center brand captures the wonder and fun in nature and the value of environmental education. The images and presentation connect with children and adults alike. The materials emote a feeling of stewardship for all committed to support our environment for now and the future.
Woldumar Logo: The leave image speaks of Woldumar in all seasons - strong, calm, nourishing beautiful and resilient. The use of green ink connects the brand with the environment and signifies the growth of nature and all who celebrate earth's bounty. Typography is casual with a classic style reminiscent of hand lettered wooden alphabets with clean, crisp serifs legible from a distance.

The Results
Our design resulted in a more professional presence in the community and an increase in school program registrations. Woldumar is using the materials to position themselves with schools throughout the state and increase donors and memberships.
