PSM Creates Innovative Brands for Non-Profits

When you think of the American Red Cross, Animal Humane Society, or United Way, you can probably imagine what their logo looks like, right? That instant brand recognition is what we’re aiming for. What does your non-profit’s logo and color palette say about your organization? Are you modern, sophisticated, light-hearted, or professional? Or are you outdated, flat, difficult to read, or non-digitized? A non-profit with a strong brand shows supporters and potential donors that it’s forward thinking and ready to invest in the future.

Since 1997, PSM Marketing has been working with non-profits to develop brands that are memorable, timeless, and effective. Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been around for 50 years, our expert graphic designers will work with you to create an amazing visual identity for your non-profit. When we talk about branding for non-profits, we mean anything with a visual component. This can include:

Logo + Brand Development for Non-Profits

A logo is the face of a non-profit organization, and it plays a critical role in its branding efforts. A well-designed logo can create a strong first impression and communicate the organization’s mission and values to its target audience. Non-profit logos should be memorable, simple, and convey a sense of purpose. A logo should also be versatile and work well across a range of marketing materials, from websites to brochures.

At PSM Marketing, we understand the importance of creating a strong logo that accurately represents a non-profit organization’s brand. Our team of designers works closely with non-profit clients to create custom logos that capture the essence of their mission and vision. We take the time to understand the organization’s target audience, message, and goals, and incorporate those elements into the logo design. With a strong logo, non-profit organizations can build brand recognition and engage with supporters more effectively. Contact us today to learn more about our logo design services for non-profits.
