A Fresh Look for Environmental Works

Environmental Works is launching a new logo that honors our past, present, and future

on April 22, 2020

Environmental Works board and staff, in a year-long collaborative and iterative design process, thoughtfully weighed in on the message they wanted represented in the logo. We feel this new design illustrates strength in collaboration and the community design process. Visualized in the new design is a public plaza, or city center - a place where all gather together, new ideas grow, and everyone thrives. The connecting lines represent strength in collaboration: Environmental Works cannot be complete without our nonprofit partners. The logo also echoes the design of a decorative garden wall, representing a marriage between physical space and green earth. Larry Goetz, one of the founding members of Environmental Works and current board member, notes that the new design also evokes the daffodils that students handed out to commemorate the opening of Seattle’s new community design center on the first Earth Day in 1970.
