Rebranding Makerspace
(Total rethinking of our brand)
After going through the regional design thinking exercise, we started a new e ort to have our brand more focused on all students.
Brand Inspiration
(The letter X, celebrating failure & success)
support for making • space for experimentation
OCC Makerspace
New Brand Proposal
Everyone is a Maker Two Sides of Brain
MultipleDisciplinesDigital Fabrication (Toolpath)
Brand Guidelines (from Design Thinking Exercise)
C for Creative (Design Values)
O for Open (Shared Space) Laboratory (OK to Make Mistakes)
CO for Community (Working Together)
Collaborative (NewPerspectives)
NOTE: Stencil / Easy to Brand
Collaboration LAB
Previous Brand (still going to use for mobile lab)
“ Experience maker culture & Experiment with new ideas .”1. Maker Culture experiences 2. Experimental processes 3. Failure & success are equally important 4. Gender equity (rounded font) 5. Design & discipline neutral 6. Round font = good for CNC signage 7. Following campus brand guidelines 8. ‘X’ marks the spot = pirate map/treasure
“Want to cultivate a maker culture? Support the attitude of building with the space and tools to do it.”
