QC Rebrand
Branding & Visual Identity Design for Queens College, blending bold geometry with historical and modern elements to captivate a younger audience.
Role:
Designer, Branding Specialist, and Creative Director
About the Project:
QC Rebrand is a bold and geometric refresh of Queens College’s identity, designed to appeal to a younger demographic while maintaining a connection to the school’s heritage. The designs draw inspiration from QC’s architecture, including the iconic clock tower, and feature a geometric representation of the school mascot, the knight.
The rebrand balances simplicity and boldness to grab attention quickly without overwhelming the viewer. By keeping the original QC color scheme, the designs retain familiarity while introducing a modern twist. The vibrant palette and geometric elements ensure the branding feels both contemporary and aligned with QC’s identity.
The new branding reflects thorough research into QC’s existing branding and merchandise, resulting in a cohesive, versatile style that stands out across various mediums, from print to social media and merchandise.
