Lincoln Park Zoo Branding & Identity

Re-branding of Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Started with designing a logo. Then created a color palette, type palette, complimentary patterns, and secondary icons. I used this system to create Stationery and examples of collateral pieces such as the Zoos uniform, website, signs, merchandise, and more.

Lincoln Park Zoo
Unsolicited Branding & Identity
(2015)
 
The objective was to take an exsisting Chicago company and design a new identity. Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the oldest Zoos in the US. They're current logo is minimal with weak branding. I created a logo mark, gave them new colors and their own typeface for a much more lively brand that can attract more visitors.
 
I started with the creation of a new logo. Then, I made a color palette, type palette, secondary marks, and complimentary patterns. With these tools I designed many examples of collateral pieces including their stationery system, website, uniform, merchandise, and signage.
 
The final product is a printed and bound Standards Manual. You can see previews of the book here as well as content from some of the pages.
