This rebrand will identify a vibrant neighborhood filled with
self-expression, energy and a strong sense of community.
MISSION

The Crossroads is a small district made up of boutique shops, local restaurants, businesses, studios and art galleries,
lofts and apartments.
My rebrand design objective is to identify a vibrant neighborhood that is filled with self-expression, energy and a
strong sense of community.

AUDIENCE

Although the occupation or purpose of the target audience remains the same from the original brand, the re-brand
focus is to appeal to a younger audience which would change that average of 29 and a half years old [click] My goal
is to bring new people into the community and develop a sense of community among those who are already
residents.

extends from appearing in both print, web and environmental graphics.
