Project Background


MORPC’s State of the Region brings Central Ohio’s leading political, business, and civic leaders together to celebrate the region’s progress and look ahead to what comes next. Because the event is reimagined each year, its identity must capture the annual theme while remaining flexible enough to support one of the region’s premier gatherings.


For “From Possibility to Reality,” I created a colorful mark built from individual ribbon forms wrapping together into a single sphere. The separate bands represent people, ideas, and plans coming together to shape a shared regional future. Bright colors and simple geometry give the identity an optimistic, forward-moving energy, while the flexible system adapts easily across presentations, stage graphics, signage, print materials, and digital promotions.
