New Look for OJCF
For the first time in more than 10 years, the Oregon Jewish Community Foundation has a new logo and brand identity.
“The foundation has experienced unprecedented growth in assets under management and ushered in an exciting period of advancement,” says OJCF Board President Sharon Morell. “The foundation staff has grown and moved to larger office space during the past year to meet the needs of all donors and partner agencies. This seemed the perfect time to establish a new look for the foundation that conveys OJCF’s energy and forward momentum.”
The new logo will be rolled out over the next couple of months and will be used in all print and electronic communications.
“The process undertaken to arrive at the new logo was an exciting one,” says OJCF Executive Director Julie Diamond. “I would like to thank Stan Blauer, OJCF’s marketing committee chair and the rest of the committee members for their input, as well as Gail Mandel, OJCF’s marketing manager, and Mario Garza, the graphic artist OJCF worked with to create this bold, dynamic symbol that will represent the foundation for years to come.”
