The main objective was initially just to design the prospectus report. But as we began the conversation with The Jewish Education Project it became clear that they were frustrated with the current state of the brand. It was feeling outdated, disjointed and lacking a cohesive positioning threadline connecting all of their sub-brands. They needed a brand refresh that maintained existing brand equity but was more easily identifiable, stood out in their field and organized their family of brands into easy to understand systems and conveyed their brand story clearly and compellingly. The prospectus provided a perfect opportunity to explore and define the new refreshed TJEP brand to their audience.

The Jewish Education Project is an education non-profit serving 150 countries and impacting over 500,000 youth annually with a broad variety of programs and initiatives including; online learning tools, conferences, fellowships, donor programs, thought leadership pieces, podcasts and multiple smaller programs.
TJEP sought a brand refresh that would essentially clarify the brand. Together we would evaluate the brand and it’s assets to focus it. Keep what was working or necessary and clear out everything else. Refine what remained and add what was missing. Then tie it all together in a way that builds on itself and is easy to apply.
brand Refresh
The logo was updated with a new modern type treatment while the logo icon, the star, remained but was narrowed to be more symmetrically weighted with a refined color palette. A new brand color system was created using their original primary brand colors but expanded to include complimentary shades that provided structured & distinction for new materials and passed Web Accessibility standards. Updated brand fonts, alongside a new brand icon and usage guidelines, were developed to further aid in new content creation. The sub-brands were thoughtfully organized into distinct categories, accompanied by design guidelines tailored to each.
sub-brands
Working with the in-house marketing team we identified 3 buckets to organize the programs. Each was defined with its own color palette and icon for distinction while still laddering up to the parent TJEP brand.
Prospectus
Working across their in-house marketing team, internal departments, and executive management we distilled the organization and its’ many branches into a single voice with clear purpose and a strong positioning that embodied their unique approach, values, and modern ambitions. Then crafted their 32 page prospectus into a manifestation of their brand story and exploration of their depth of work.
