Brand Identity

Visual identity for Networks for Good (NFG)

When I joined the company, only Alumnet existed—a platform focused on alumni engagement and networking. Over time, the organisation expanded its offerings to include All of Us, a community-building platform emphasising inclusivity and collaboration. This growth necessitated the creation of an umbrella company, Networks for Good (NFG), to unify its products under one cohesive brand. I was tasked with designing the visual identity for NFG, crafting a logo and brand system that would connect its existing products, accommodate future growth, and communicate the organisation’s values of connection, collaboration, and community.

Project Overview

The goal was to create a cohesive and impactful visual identity for Networks for Good (NFG), an umbrella company uniting Alumnet, All of Us, and future products under a single, scalable brand that reflects its mission of fostering connections and building communities.

Unify the Umbrella:

Create a central identity that links the three distinct products.

Reflect Core Values:

Emphasise connection, collaboration, and community-building in the visual identity.

Support Scalability:

Design a flexible system that could grow with the organisation and its expanding suite of products.
