GradImages Brand Identity

GradImages

GradImages exists to help people remember the most important event of their lives (until marriage and/or birth) by capturing compelling commencement images. It is a compilation of 9-12 companies, which led to its increased size as well as brand confusion. GradImages has struggled with speaking the “same language” internally and externally with all target audiences and was seeking brand clarity. The result was a tagline to add to the existing logo (with a few enhancements) — all based on solid brand pillars developed by fister.
