Ballard Food Bank
Community anchor Ballard Food Bank had served Seattle for almost five decades by providing food, support, and essential services, before having the opportunity to expand into a new home. To coincide with this important shift, the team designed a new brand for the Ballard Food Bank and wove its spirit and messaging throughout their new building.
The Challenge
Originally serving only the Ballard neighborhood, the Ballard Food Bank has expanded to serve eight Seattle neighborhoods and more than 7,000 people per month. They have continued to play an even more critical role in the community as the pandemic has put huge pressure on local services.
Project Vision
The new brand was designed to embody a renewed mission: providing critical services that extend far beyond food. Centered on the updated tagline, ‘A Hub for Hope’, this sentiment was reflected throughout signage, environmental graphics and donor recognition within the new space. Bright colors, functional and warm materials, and friendly and legible typography are woven throughout the interior and exterior.
