Client Partner:

North Carolina Serious Illness Coalition

Serious Yet Simple Design was the Solution
AGI's brand design for North Carolina's Serious Illness Coalition foregrounded simplicity to communicate clarity of purpose and employed a heavier font in the primary mark to connote urgency.
CHALLENGE

The North Carolina Serious Illness Coalition was created out of the statewide task force that set a demanding, action-oriented agenda for leaders in healthcare services and needed an identity.

REQUEST

The identity needed to avoid the hazard created when the organization named itself (NC SIC) and so the mark and usage needed to encourage the adoption of NC Serious Illness Coalition’s work.

RESULT

Calm colors and a serious, energetic typographic approach gave the coalition opportunities to bring thought leadership forward while acknowledging the urgency of their work.
