Barr Foundation

From brand design to brand stewards

Barr Foundation came to us to rejuvenate their brand. The intent was to design a contemporary, accessible, and highly functional visual identity to facilitate consistent communications. Goals included spotlighting their grantees, connected community, and open communication style. Gosh, did we deliver!

The clean, thoughtful brand we’ve crafted together retains the essence of the original Barr Foundation identity, while conveying the present energy of the mission, grantee programs, and focus area endeavors. Together as one unified front, our work is a system that delivers depth, perspective, and transparency—leveraging rays of light that personify movement. And while it all started with a logo, we are now proud to steward multiple projects a year to align their communications and deliverables into, dare we say, the perfect package!

Great design spotlights what matters

“Building relationships and putting people first is a big part of how the Studio partners with clients. They deeply connect with the companies, organizations, and people they partner with, and that translates through their designs.”
Mary C., Barr Foundation
“I’m really proud of the brand refresh work that the Studio produced. Our new identity is so much fuller. It really addressed the need and anticipated our growth.”
Cecilia H., Barr Foundation
