Challenges

Communication: Creating a website that effectively communicates the organization’s mission and resources to both first responders and those interested in supporting the cause, while also maintaining simplicity in navigation.

Our Approach

1. Strategic Branding:

Mash Creative Co. worked with Lines of Heroes, analyzing the brands and offerings of similar non-profit organizations, and developing a visual brand that is both unique and focused on conveying the strength and resilience of our first responders. The Lines of Heroes visual brand parallels the lines and colors often seen on first-responder uniforms. Simultaneously it communicates a respect for the organization’s focus issues while maintaining a warmth that reflects their humanity through the use of imagery.

The logo was meticulously crafted to symbolize strength, resilience, and mental well-being. We’re proud to tout that the final lines of heroes logo was an initial design and required no revisions! We feel like it’s the cherry on top of this beautiful, thoughtful brand.
