Center for Justice Innovations

Deliverables: Logo | Identity | Guidelines

Circle for Justice Innovations (CJI) is an incubator supporting grassroots organizations that lead strategic criminal justice movement work within marginalized communities and among those disproportionately impacted by the U.S. criminal legal and immigration systems.

As CJI expanded, it required a unified brand identity that reflected its unwavering mission. I was tasked with developing the logo and core brand materials. The final design serves as a visual metaphor—capturing the momentum of this grantmaking collaborative and the resilience of its community.

The Logo

CJI consists of diverse grassroots organizations, all of which are coming together in a circle to join forces and pool together resources for the larger impact. Below are the iterations to come from that.

Yours in Solidarity

"Yours in Solidarity" emerged as the cornerstone of the brand, guiding the tone and direction of all design elements. To unify the messaging, the brand embraces an inviting, inclusive, and optimistic aesthetic—reflected throughout the visual materials.
