Why a brand & website design refresh?

To support the club’s efforts to grow the membership and improve diversity and inclusion by:

  • making the website more attractive and user friendly, particularly to younger people, women and LBTQ+ as well as existing members
  • providing the design basis for additional online & print marketing materials such as an email newsletter template, a 50th anniversary logo, beer mats, posters, magazine ads
  • articulating the club’s identity, vision & values as the basis of the design refresh and to serve also as the basis of a new strategic plan for the club.

For context, see About us, Inclusion and Diversity and GOC website & IT user feedback survey – your responses and our next steps.
