[logo development, branding, & colllateral]

The Mississippi Department of Human Resources created L.I.F.T.(Learning Investment For Tomorrow) to help the most vulnerable children in Mississippi by providing valuable services and resources to the community. MDHS came to Mad Genius wanting a bright and fun logo that would connect with people in the community.
This was one of my first logo projects I got to do at Mad Genius. At first this seemed like a very cut and dry corporate logo project. I tried many variations of the abstract person icon for the “i” associating that with the social services the program supplies, and what seems to be the very expected route. As I got further along I started to explore something more conceptual and associated with the word “lift.” I began sketching butterflies, birds, wings etc. and after a collaborative effort ended at an origami crane.
