Air Louis/826 STDecember 2023
 

The Air Louis/826 STL is an exercise in developing a brand identity & activation. The culmination of the project was a fleshed-out brand, built on the values of the already existing 826 non-profit model. The Air Louis brand encourages lofty ideas and soaring ambition for middle school-aged kids in the city of St. Louis, MO.

This process started with researching the 826 brand and St. Louis itself, looking for cultural cues that would inform the development process. Research helped me land on aviation and their current role as a driver of aerospace production in the United States.

From there, a word mark was iterated until the propellor was developed, and a system of ticketing language was built into brand imagery.
