Our engagement began with a campus-wide focus group initiative involving students, faculty, administrators, and board members. This research uncovered shared aspirations and challenges, shaping the creative brief for Pierpont’s next chapter. From there, we developed a bold new logotype and refined the seal concept, modernizing the visual language while paying homage to the institution’s roots. The design system emphasized forward movement, collaboration, and accessibility, reflecting Pierpont’s commitment to education that works. Although administrative changes shifted the direction of implementation, the strategy and creativity were fully developed and delivered, resulting in a scalable, future-ready brand identity.
