ServeMinnesota: Strengthening Impact Through a Strong Brand Strategy

Since 1993, ServeMinnesota has been a driving force for social change, partnering with AmeriCorps and local organizations to address critical community needs across education, employment, housing, and public health. With a strong presence in Minnesota and a national influence, ServeMinnesota sought a refreshed brand identity to better align with AmeriCorps’ new national branding while maintaining its own unique identity.

Brand Strategy & Design Elements

  • A balanced identity that gives equal weight to community service efforts and Minnesota’s role in the mission.

  • The Ribbon ‘M’ Logo – A custom design that represents Minnesota, interconnected partnerships, and the ripple effect of service across communities.

  • A cohesive brand system that aligns with AmeriCorps’ national branding while maintaining ServeMinnesota’s distinct presence.

  • Website alignment with the new branding, ensuring a cohesive digital experience for volunteers, partners, and the community.

  • Branded office space to create a welcoming, mission-driven environment that reinforces ServeMinnesota’s impact and inspires both employees and visitors.

Deliverables & Implementation

As part of the branding initiative, Christiansen Creative provided:

  • A refined brand identity that aligns ServeMinnesota with its mission.

  • Logo design and brand elements that reflect service, collaboration, and community impact.

  • Environmental branding for their office space, reinforcing mission and values in the workplace.

  • Comprehensive brand guidelines to ensure consistent application across digital, print, and community outreach efforts.

A Brand That Strengthens Service & Connection

Through a strategic rebrand, ServeMinnesota now has a clear, compelling identity that strengthens its role as a state and national leader in service and impact. The refreshed branding ensures recognition, alignment, and engagement with both volunteers and community partners.
