The Challenge

Graphite Bible Camp needed a brand refresh that included a clear concise message, a unified visual identity and a unified mission among staff and counsellors. The new strategy builds off of the founding vision by refocusing the brand to provide more clarity and a stronger foundation for Graphite Bible Camp’s ministry. The new logo serves as a reminder of the refined mission and story that was developed as part of the brand strategy. It represents the mission of the camp through a deeply symbolic campfire and embodies the spirit of family, adventure and the outdoors. It was also very important to keep the entire name of “Graphite Bible Camp” in the logo without removing or reducing the size of “Bible Camp.”
