Our first phase of rebranding is all done, minus a few file saves and pdf distributions.
Ove 15 marks developed for dining concepts, specific kinds of vending locations and an over arching logo for the department!
We're now working on cataloging everywhere we need to place marks. It's dizzyingly complicated. So many individual locations, I don't want to forget any. We have done multiple walk throughs of facilities, tape measure in tow, to plot out what goes where and at what scale.
When we finish applying new singage and identities, this will have been the biggest update the facilities have ever had as a unit. Great feedback already from those who are employed in the facilities! They love the new colors and they feel valued that their employer is investing in their workplace.
Cooperation, creative education and empowerment of my coworkers had gotten us to this point.
Next phase: Application of marks and execution of standards enforcement.

I'm not dead and I still work here...
It came to my attention that my coworkers thought that I had quit.
I was away from Wednesday afternoon through Monday afternoon. I had cleared off my desk and taken some personal items home before I left on Wednesday. Our IT people moved my computer to my bosses office that afternoon. The previous people who had held my position did not last long.
I was only away at the AIGA Leadership Conference in Portland for 5 days and the interior design folks were updating my desk.
This utterly amused me. People had talked about how I was so nice and how they had liked me and they couldn't beleive I was gone. There were also GIANT bouquets of flowers around the office that made me think to myself (did they think I died?!) but turned out to be from a wedding that an office coworker attended and brought back to share all over the office. They smell amazing, but when displayed alone and not in a group, appear to be funeral florals.
It's nice to be missed.
