Greensboro Housing Coalition
AWARD RECOGNITIONS
Opening the Door
With a long history and significant impact on the local community, the Greensboro Housing Coalition represents a valuable yet often unknown resource in the North Carolina Triad. To expand recognition and build additional inroads for donations and funding, the organization asked A Great Idea to review and evolve its identity and brand strategy. Through those discussions, options included starting from scratch to overhauling the existing identity. After discussion and review, AGI saw value in the existing identity and looked to build on the recognition among existing donors and reduce the costs of a massive brand shift by evolving the brand to feel more current while more clearly representing the important work being done every day. This meant trimming out excess pieces and refining the shape to represent the organization’s ability to "open doors" for families to live in healthy homes.
Expanding the Message
To build on the new logo’s mark, A Great Idea developed a tagline that could represent the organization’s impact on the community. The goal was to encapsulate the diverse programs in financial assistance, housing assessment, advocacy for renters and more.
Putting it into Practice
Many local organizers and donors knew bits and pieces of GHC’s important work, and so it was important to develop a visual vehicle that could enhance that understanding while also being easy to scale and reproduce. A Great Idea introduced a combination of folder and letter-size pages that each demonstrated a key program of the organization. Every sheet featured a unique true story and original photography along with statistics and descriptions of the programming, helping GHC to build its brand.
How much does professional brochure design cost?
The cost varies depending on complexity, page count, and whether you require custom illustrations or copywriting. We provide tailored quotes based on your specific project needs—ranging from high-impact tri-folds to multi-page corporate catalogs. Investing in professional design ensures your marketing collateral reflects the premium quality of your brand.
Can you print materials?
While we don’t do in-house printing, we can help you get your materials printed! This includes having final printed materials sent to you or printed near you for pickup. In the design process, we ensure your files are prepared to be sent to printers by ensuring correct sizing, bleeds, and file packaging.
How do you ensure the copy reflects our voice and values?
We perform in-depth discovery and research on your organization’s writing. This means we pay attention to who you’re talking to and how you’re talking to them. Whether it’s using the right point of view, using a specific grammar style, or capturing a specific tone, our expert copywriters can ensure continuity as well as strengthen your brand voice.
What is the standard turnaround time for a brochure project?
A typical brochure design project takes between 1 to 3 weeks. This timeline includes the initial discovery phase, concept development, and rounds of revisions. If you have a tight deadline for a trade show or product launch, let us know—we offer expedited design services to ensure you never miss a marketing opportunity.
Is there a difference between print and digital design?
Put simply, print design is collateral design, meant for physical assets, while digital design is for electronic dissemination. Beyond that, there are differences in the designs we create for each channel. Considerations like text size, colors, and readability vary across formats.
