Building a Movement of Hope

The East Trenton Collaborative is working to revitalize a historic neighborhood of 4,000 residents in Trenton, New Jersey. In a place shaped by its manufacturing roots and diverse community, the identity needed to feel both grounded and representative.

We designed a brand that reflects that reality, using color to express the diversity of the people and typography to echo the neighborhood’s blue-collar character.
