Jordan needed a visual brand to help him get elected. Jordan's path to Hawai'i State Senate is about connection, education, participation, and people-power. For a real, place-based campaign like Jordan's, we knew the visuals had to balance three things: feeling truly representative of District 13's people and 'āina, looking exciting and inviting to support grassroots participation, and embodying the fighting spirit required to make small, regular steps into big, meaningful change. With the campaign brand system, Jordan looks like the qualified candidate he is to serve District 13 as Hawai'i State Senator.
