One of my favorite things about Movement Advancement Project is how they use research, data, and mapping to better understand the challenges communities face and create a path toward a more inclusive and equitable future.

So I challenged myself: what would their brand look like if it evolved for today?

This unofficial concept redesign focuses on bringing more movement, energy, and purpose into the identity while staying connected to what MAP represents. The new mark uses subtle map-inspired elements, flowing letterforms, and a brighter color palette to reflect progress, direction, and the communities they serve.

This was a fun exercise in exploring how thoughtful design can help tell a bigger story. I hope they like it and I hope you like it.

What do you think…does this direction feel like MAP?

Meet La Colina: a Mexican restaurant inside Trailhead Lodge, a modern lodge in Estes Park, CO - and honestly one of my favorite projects lately.

The goal was to design something that felt elevated, but still really warm and welcoming. I needed it to feel rooted in its surroundings without screaming “mountain town logo.”

The custom wordmark has these subtle angular cuts in the letterforms that quietly reference the Rocky Mountain peaks. Above it sits a geometric rising sun (part horizon line, part sunburst) inspired by traditional Mexican craft patterns. Together the elements create a simple sense of place: mountains sitting under a rising sun.

The palette is warm and earthy to bridge that traditional Mexican casa feel with the modern lodge it lives in. And the whole system (wordmark, mark, icons, patterns, variations) was built to flex across signage, menus, merch, and digital.

One of the last puzzle pieces of this project was to create a system of icons that can build on the brand’s identity with personality and flavor. These custom designs include lime wedge seesaws, squirrels eating avocados, cowboys lassoing tacos, and more. A fun way to add more depth and character to the restaurant without adding complicated details to the primary logo.

Swipe to see the logo, concept breakdown, supporting icon system (one of my favorite parts of this design experience), and logo variations I built out for the brand.

This logo was designed to tell a story...and every element was chosen with intention and purpose to convey a special meaning.

The swallow in flight was an obvious but powerful starting point. It’s a direct nod to Craig’s name, but more importantly it represents hope, renewal, and forward motion. The upward angle was intentional — it signals progress, momentum, and a younger, more modern approach to leadership.

The stars were added as subtle guides, symbolizing democratic values, public service, and aspiration without feeling stiff or establishment-heavy. They ground the design in national purpose while still pointing ahead.

Typography mattered a lot. I wanted SWALLOW to feel bold, confident, and unmistakable for name recognition, while the supporting text adds balance, clarity, and credibility — big ideas supported by seriousness and accountability.

Color tied it all together. The blue represents trust, stability, and integrity, while the brighter accent brings in energy and optimism — a signal that this campaign is about moving forward, not maintaining the status quo.

Overall, the goal was a clean, modern identity for a younger candidate with real-world experience
