Mission 44 Igniting change

Insight

A powerful icon that signifies transformation.

In a world where young people often find themselves overlooked and sidelined in matters concerning their education, employment and wider society, Mission 44 recognises the urgency to bring change. The ask for a meaningful symbol that represents their commitment to opening doors for young people was evident.

Idea

A new visual identity is born.

A new vibrant representation is inspired by the powerful notion of open doors, symbolising opportunity and the boundless energy of young people.

The unique wordmark is designed with the base of each letter at positive angles. This distinctive feature symbolises the forward and upward progression that Mission 44 aspires to foster within society.

The doorway icon is a powerful symbol of limitless access and opportunities. It encapsulates the organisation’s goal to dismantle barriers and empower the next generation to overcome their limitations.
