Friends of Trees
Challenge
Friends of Trees (FOT) is a beloved, Portland tree-planting non-profit.
They had great brand recognition in their colorful, but cluttered, cartoon graphics, which randomly used 5-7 fonts at a time. Messaging was text- heavy, generic, and left you feeling “meh.” Their goal? More tree sales. More donations.
Solution
We stripped away fonts, colors, and text, giving the call to action breathing room. We made the messaging more powerful and let it stand on it’s own— in the sweet spot between “fun” and “respected”—in order to impress both a mother of three and a corporate exec.
