Mennonite Home Communities Partners with Pennsylvania College of Art & Design on Project
Mennonite Home Communities recently partnered with the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in a contest to challenge junior graphic design students to create a new identity for the 100-plus year old retirement community. Mennonite Home Communities includes Mennonite Home, the care campus, and Woodcrest Villa, the residential living campus. Well-known for its trademark logo that includes a dove symbolizing peace, Mennonite Home Communities was interested in seeing how the students would suggest updating its longstanding logo.
Although Mennonite Home Communities is not yet ready to adopt a new logo, the students offered innovative and energetic design suggestions that provide ideas for the future. Ryan Baer of Maryland emerged from the 12-student class with a winning design that took the traditional dove design and stylized it in a way to make it more fluid, while also incorporating newer colors without straying far from the tradition of the community.
Mennonite Home Communities President & CEO Nelson Kling and Pennsylvania College of Art & Design Graphic Design Department Chair congratulated Ryan for his vision and presented him with an award for his efforts.
