Empower Therapy for Women believes that every woman has a wellspring of strength inside of her. Dr. Holly Kozee founded Empower to help women regain a sense of control and authorship in their lives. Women spend so much energy trying to be the best mother / wife / worker / student / housecleaner / caretaker / all-of-the-above that you can be. Too often this causes women to lose their connection to their inner power. Holly promotes cultivating self-compassion and finding a healthy balance to meet your own needs. Her goal is to empower each woman to live a fulfilling life, even in the face of the many changes, challenges, and heartbreaks that life throws our way.

Empower Therapy Identity and Logo Design

Blank Space created a versatile and memorable logo for Empower. The logo mark or icon design shows an energetic motion, a change, and an evolution. The orange and red conveys the warmth, creativity, and passion that makes Empower Thereapy successful. The teal and gray provides a strong foundation, a grounding that is essential in being honest with yourself.

​Empower provides individual and group psychotherapy to provide tools that aid women in their own self-healing or self-actualization. In-person sessions are provided in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Tele-therapy is also available. Dr. Holly Kozee specializes in postpartum depression and anxiety, self-esteem, and healing from partner infidelity and divorce. We enjoyed working with Holly to create a new logo design to represent her vision for helping empower women. We wish her the best of luck!

Golden Tree Hostel

golden-tree-hostel-identity-design

Identity Design

Golden Tree Hostel embodies the beauty and magic of Orcas Island. Owners, Ian Woolwoth and Ken Katz, hosted co-owners Mindi and Riley Raker to give them a true experience of the hostel and the island community. While sleeping in Golden Tree’s geodesic dome illuminated by the full moon, they imagined the possibilities. The logo design is based on a tree that is famous to the locals of the San Juan Islands. The architectural color palette inspired the identity color palette and creates a consistent voice across applications. The logo is distilled to an iconic mark that can be adapted to any size for print or web use. The artwork is pixel perfect so that it looks good at large and small sizes. The design system is applied to rack cards, letterhead, business cards, and a brand guidebook.

You all have a great design sense and are very good listeners. You both do an excellent job of combining professionalism with personal relationship building. This has really been a good fit, and I really look forward to working with you again.
