New Website, Logo and Design Details Welcome Library Patrons
The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library recently launched an updated website, complete with a new name and beautiful visual brand. The effort is a great example of infusing an organization’s personality and values into its graphic design. The library describes the launch:
“Our Library has always been a place open for everyone, and now our brand better reflects it. We designed the new site to make it simpler to use in the long-term.”
Previous Logo Spoke of Times Past
The Cincinnati Library’s bright red logo had been in commission past its prime, with sharp angles that echoed both a book’s pages and the architecture of the Main Library. Additionally, the name “The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County” seems a bit stuffy for modern times.
New Logo Speaks to Library’s Present Personality
With a more casual typeface, judicious use of bright color and simplification of name, the new logo is approachable and helps communicate the library’s mission:
“Connecting people with the world of ideas and information.”
New Design Philosophy is More than Just a Logo
The spirit of the new logo is carried into all aspects of the library’s graphic design from blog posts to Facebook. Here are some examples.
