Brand guide

Clear-use guidance for future program communication.

A technical program needed a human, usable identity.

OEEC was building a more visible future for the Energy Conservation Assistance Program. The opportunity was not to make a larger campaign claim; it was to give the program a visual identity that could make complex assistance easier to recognize across future conversations and materials.

Collaborative refinement shaped the final system.

Identika worked with program staff to understand stakeholder groups, communication barriers, and practical program benefits. We developed preliminary logo directions, reviewed them with the client, explored additional concepts, and refined the selected approach into a final logo, color palette, typography, and usage guidance.

An identity ready to carry the work forward.

The final system gives ECAP a clear visual foundation for program staff, partners, and future communications. This Portfolio story documents the identity work itself and does not infer outreach, application, or energy-performance results.
