Oregon Community Credit Union approached us with the task of revitalizing their brand, which has been around for over 60 years, in a manner that appeals to younger, Millennial members while still retaining their older clientele.
**Our Strategy:** We initiated the project with a discovery phase that involved conducting in-person interviews with key stakeholders and performing competitive analysis on six primary rivals. With this information, our creative team generated three brand concepts for OCCU to consider, each outlining the rationale behind the chosen color palette, typography, imagery, tone of voice, and examples of how these concepts would manifest in advertisements or marketing materials. For the logo redesign, we utilized a method that has proven effective with past clients by engaging stakeholders in a logo exercise. From this, we learned that OCCU desired to abbreviate their name to "OCCU," modernize their logo, while preserving elements of the traditional diamond mark that longtime OCCU members and employees are familiar with.
**Our Solution:** We recognized the importance of creating a logo that was simple enough for both print and web applications, while also being scalable for mobile use. In addition to the logo redesign, we revised OCCU’s tagline from “Nice. Remarkably Nice.” to “It’s different here.” to more accurately capture OCCU’s commitment to exceptional service and the strong community sentiment shared by OCCU and the people of Oregon.
