Ecolibri Non-Profit Organization

Supporting Indigenous Communities in Rural Guatemala.

Overview

Ecolibri is a registered non-profit organization that has partnered with indigenous communities around Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, since 2004. We worked with Ecolibri to design a new visual identity and brand, built a new website, and produced a series of videos for their non-profit in Guatemala.

Design Approach

Our approach to a new brand design was to create something that placed the stories of the activities of Ecolibri at the forefront, this centres around video and photography which we contributed to over the course of our collaboration. We chose a sophisticated palette of dark blue, accented by gold, that would help information hold its space in the lexicon of visual/graphic compositions. We updated their logo and wrote the copy for their website and shot/edited videos.

Design Process

The most important aspect of our design approach was to convey credibility and professionalism, whilst not detracting from the overall work with design. We came up with a solution that will hopefully continue to attract donors and new project partners for Ecolibri in the years to come.
