Westwood Works is on a mission to connect Cincinnati’s largest neighborhood and celebrate its strengths by building a positive, inclusive, and vibrant community.
We focus on 3 core pillars to build up the Westwood community: connecting people, connecting place, and connecting purpose.
Westwood Works’ current logo was established when the organization was founded in 2009. Although the current logo offers a nod to our name and the area we serve, its outdated design does not effectively represent how we have evolved or reflect the impact we have on the individuals we serve in the community:
We are looking for a more relevant, impactful, and modern logo that accurately represents our brand and is unique in our organizational sector. The logo must be used effectively across all media for marketing purposes, including print, website, and social media.
The scope of the project will extend from concept to creation and include:
