Family Education needed a fresh brand identity to support their new direction as a parenting resource for every year of a family's journey, not just from 0-3 yrs. The team preferred a stark departure from their previous branding, in favor of one with more sophistication and gender neutrality. This was informed by research and user personas.
I let the phrases "approachable," "community pillar," and the idea of passing on memories guide the way. The new look positions Family Education as the honorary "unty" of the parenting community, ready to dole out wisdom whenever someone needs it.
Prior to this brand refresh, I worked with the team on overhauling the UX of their baby name pages. You can read the case study here.
