DESCRIPTION
S’more Summer is a mission-driven organization creating joyful, confidence-building summer camp experiences for kids who deserve access to more. The work focused on shaping a warm, optimistic brand that could carry both emotional resonance and organizational clarity. From naming through visual identity and digital design, the brand was developed to balance playfulness with purpose—centering belonging, equity, and joy at every touchpoint. The result is a welcoming, expressive identity designed to support growth and expand impact, one summer at a time.
Discovery & Alignment
A collaborative naming workshop grounded the work in shared values, audience needs, and the role summer camp plays in building joy and belonging.
Shortlisting & Selection
Through guided discussion and refinement, options were narrowed to those that best balanced warmth, mission clarity, and growth potential. S’more Summer emerged as a name rooted in abundance, joy, and access.
Naming Exploration
Using a structured evaluation framework, a wide range of naming directions were explored—from descriptive to abstract—each assessed for clarity, resonance, and long-term flexibility.
Creative Direction
Multiple visual and tonal directions were developed to explore how the brand could show up in the world—ranging from grounded and trustworthy to playful and outdoorsy—allowing the client to align on a direction before design execution.
