Project Goal

Stage 4: Project Development – Finalize Branding Collectively

  1. ‘Open Business’ is the initiative and the initiative’s name, so that should be encompassed in the identity (logo). The main components the initiative is trying to communicate and promote are:
    • Safe air (masks and/or additional ventilation)
    • Germ free (hand washing/ hand sanitizer)
    • Social distance (6ft apart)  
  2. The campaign will be launched in New York City as a place where this initiative is being rolled out, embraced and celebrated.
  3. Tagline:

Experiences may be different but life continues to be the same.
