Request for Proposal - Visual Identity and Brand Guidelines

Visual Identity and Brand Guidelines

About the challenge

SYPE is a young, driven and established organization that makes a big impact in the business community in both Regina and Saskatoon. We connect young entrepreneurs and professionals, foster relationships and collaboration, and collectively have fun doing it.

We want our new visual identity & brand to communicate just that.

We believe that change is good. With that in mind, we’ve decided to rebrand SYPE on a provincial level. Our objective is for our brand to more clearly communicate what we’re about. Our goal is to create a logo and brand that young professionals and entrepreneurs are proud to affiliate with. We see this brand as being trendy (but classy), bold (but youthful) and fun (but professional).

So, are you up for the challenge? If you are, please read below, as well as review the RFP link, to find out more about the challenge and what’s in it for you (including $2,000 for creating a visual identity and brand guidelines)!
