Case Study

Oregon Resilience

In the wake of compounding disasters across Oregon, nonprofits and community-based organizations stepped in to support their communities in real, practical ways. The Oregon Resilience Summit grew out of that response. It’s a coalition effort, shaped by dozens of CBOs, survivors, funders, and partners statewide. While the May 2024 Summit was hosted by five organizations, it reflects a much broader shared effort: connecting people to one another, making space for hard conversations, marking progress, naming gaps, and looking ahead together.

The logo is built around that idea of a shared horizon. Its abstract, geometric form suggests forward motion, optimism, and collective momentum. It balances unity with difference—many organizations, distinct missions, aligned purpose. Simple and flexible by design, the mark scales easily across uses while quietly nodding to Oregon’s landscape and the regenerative work happening within it. The intersecting shapes function like a bridge or a Venn diagram, pointing to connection, overlap, and the strength that comes from meeting in the middle.
