PLEASE NOTE: A logo is an important step in visually representing your brand, but it’s not the whole story. True success comes from building a strong brand—a cohesive emotional, experiential and reputational foundation that shapes how people perceive, trust and connect with your mission.

Don’t miss your chance to elevate your mission

A custom logo could be the spark that takes your project to the next level—don’t let this opportunity pass you by.

Your mission deserves to stand out

And a professionally designed brand can make all the difference. This isn’t just a free logo; it’s a thoughtfully crafted visual identity tailored to amplify your impact and connect with your audience.

Imagine what’s possible

By applying, you’re investing in the future of your project and opening the door to a resource worth hundreds, even thousands, of dollars—at no cost to you. Imagine the clarity and confidence of presenting your mission with a logo that tells your story.

FAQ

  • The service includes one custom logo with up to three revision rounds, a one page brand guide of defining logo, font(s), color(s) and final files delivered in multiple formats (vector, PNG, etc.).

  • If your project focuses on bettering the community or planet and you’re in the early stages of development, you’re a great fit! The application process will help us determine alignment.

  • Applications roll over to the next quarter, so you’ll still have a chance to be chosen in the future. Additionally, I offer discounted services to those who meet the initiative's values but aren’t selected.

  • I believe quality branding has the power to amplify important work. This initiative is my way of contributing to causes that matter and supporting those who might otherwise currently lack access to professional design services.

It’s not about creating barriers—it’s about connecting with changemakers who are ready to make a meaningful impact.

  • We carefully review each application to find a cause that aligns strongly with the values of Marks That Matter: bettering communities, improving local health, or protecting the planet. We look for initiatives that demonstrate passion, a clear mission, and the potential to make a meaningful impact. It’s never an easy choice because so many incredible projects apply, but we aim to select the one that feels most aligned with our mission each quarter.
