 Yale Press Drops Distinctive LogoReaders of Jytte Klausen's "The Cartoons that Shook the World," which was officially released by the Yale University Press on Monday, may find that the 2005 Danish cartoons are not the only element absent from the book.The Yale University Press began phasing out its distinctive logo, designed in 1985 by acclaimed graphic designer and former School of Art emeritus professor Paul Rand, in books published this fall, Yale University Press Director John Donatich said. And while it has not yet removed the logo from its Web site, the Press will now feature the word "Yale" in the University's official typeface along the spines of new books - in what observers described as an effort to bring Yale and the press closer together.

 The Hawn Foundation's MindUP Program Gets a Rebrand by CoreBrandThe mission of The Hawn Foundation, founded by award-winning actress and children's advocate Goldie Hawn, is to equip children with the social and emotional skills they need to live smarter, healthier, and happier lives.Working with neuroscientists, behavioral psychologists, educators and leading social emotional researchers, The Hawn Foundation developed an evidence-based program that teaches students in grades K-7 how their brains work and gives them tools to help manage their emotions and behaviors. Research on the program found that participating students significantly decreased aggression and behavioral problems and greatly improved self-esteem, self-management, and optimism. The organization came to CoreBrand because their branding did not adequately communicate their vision and mission and the visual identity was not appealing to a wide range of age groups. CoreBrand began this pro-bono project by rebranding the educational curriculum to better align with important brand attributes, such as optimism and connectivity, and to appeal to all audiences: students, parents and educators. more The Hawn Foundation's MindUP Program Gets a Rebrand by CoreBrand design directory CoreBrand > Logo and Branding Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
