Family foundation brand identity, built to last

The McLain Foundation was founded by Hardy and Helle and is intended to be a multigenerational grant giving entity. They came to me to design a logotype and brand identity that represented their family values, reflected their heritage and could be used for generations to come.

The logotype aims to represent a timeless yet memorable feeling. I took inspiration from Scandinavian design and nature from the family's hometown.

The colour palette derived from nature, specifically Aero; the Danish island where the family have a home. The objective was to keep it neutral and warm whilst also ensuring it was vibrant enough to represent the family’s spirit of exploration and excitement in every endeavour.
