Overview

The District of Columbia Primary Care Association (DCPCA) is a non-profit health organization that advocates for the health of all DC residents, ensuring access to quality, primary healthcare. To better reflect their role as a connector and collaborator within the community, they partnered with us to develop a new brand identity. We led the design process to create a logo that visually communicates their commitment to collective action, shared purpose, and health equity.

01

Challenge

As an organization that brings together diverse health centers, policy makers, and community advocates, DCPCA needed an identity that felt unified and strong. The challenge was to move away from purely clinical or corporate aesthetics and instead create a symbol that represented the "human" side of healthcare advocacy. We needed a mark that felt modern and professional while deeply emphasizing the importance of working together to solve complex systemic health issues.

02

Solution

Our process involved exploring various visual directions to find the right balance of authority and community. Ultimately, we landed on a concept built on the idea of collaboration.

  • Visual Metaphor: We utilized geometric intersections as the core of the identity. These intersections serve as a metaphor for collective action, representing the diverse organizations and people that come together under the DCPCA umbrella.

  • Core Values: The design language focuses on strength and mutual respect. The overlapping forms suggest that the organization is more than the sum of its parts—that their power lies in the connections they facilitate.

  • Design Execution: We opted for a clean, cohesive logo that feels both established and forward-thinking, emphasizing clarity and unity over complexity.

FAQ

Get quick answers about working with us and our approach to digital solutions.

What’s included in a monthly retainer?

01

Each retainer includes a set number of design or strategy requests per month, priority turnaround, and a dedicated point of contact. It’s built for teams who want ongoing support without starting from scratch every time.

How many requests can I make per month?

02

We typically handle up to two active requests at a time, with new ones queued as they’re completed. Most deliverables are turned around within 48–72 hours, depending on complexity.

Is a retainer better than a one-off project?

03

If you need ongoing design support, faster turnarounds, or regular iterations, a retainer is often more cost-effective and collaborative than starting fresh each time.

Who will I be working with?

04

You’ll work directly with senior designers and strategists. No middle layers, no fluff—just experienced people doing the work.

Do you work with international clients?

05

Yes. Most of our clients are remote. We’re fully set up to collaborate across time zones with clear communication and shared tools.
