Ms. Foundation is a true pioneer in women empowerment efforts over the last 5 decades. In 2023, Ms. Foundation celebrated its 50th anniversary Women of Vision Awards Gala with the branding, digital, and experiential design by DD.NYC®. The work was designed and developed with utmost elegance and consideration for this anniversary, legacy, and historic event in New York City.

The red line symbolizes the legacy heritage of the community and reflects the entire Ms. Foundation movement weaving through history, and all its various milestones. Ballroom side wall motion graphics allowed to use diverging circles in conjunction with the logo. The shape of the circles is tied to the numbers 5 and 0 and repeats its shape continuously.
Most of the media in this brand identity was print media. Therefore, a special branding system was developed that would be suitable for small formats of name cards, invitations, and menues as well as banners and posters.
The number 50 acts as a key image, which repeats the shape of the logo and allows you to animate it and make it voluminous.
Additional graphic elements designed to enrich the visual. Made up of several basic elements: basic stroke, additional lines, red median line.
As the main graphic idea, we reinforce our brand identity by the use of paint strokes that are formed by the dominant red line that flows through the entire website as one long horizontal story. The storytelling approach creates a feeling of legacy, power, and continuity of the message the Foundation communicates.
Animated gold lines add dynamics and fluidity. They move horizontally, which shows the user the direction of the scroll.
The Event will explore the past, present and future of the Ms. Foundation and feminist movements, while raising funds for the organization’s strategic, equity-centered initiatives.
