Round 1 | Option 2
About the Brand
Meet 244 is a new non-profit brand established to provide crucial support to orphans, widows, and those who help them. Its unique funding model involves selling meat from international hunters. The brand's name cleverly combines "meat" with the biblical reference Acts 2:44. A strong brand identity and website were developed for Meet 244, enabling it to effectively communicate its mission and reach its target audience within the non-profit sector.
Target Audience
Their target audience is affluent American male hunters, aged 35-60, who frequent gun ranges and travel to South Africa for game. They face the frustration of wasted meat that cannot be brought home, desiring a meaningful impact. This brand aims to evoke hope and happiness, inspiring these hunters with a caring solution that ensures their hunt benefits those in need, making a tangible difference and embodying their values.
The Goal
The requirements for the logo design is to create a visually distinct mark that ensures the brand is easily identified and remembered by its target audience. This versatile logo will be prominently featured across multiple touchpoints, including the brand's website, social media channels, apparel, branding stationery, documents, and videos. Crucially, the design must be crafted to be highly appealing and relevant to hunters, reflecting their interests and values to establish a strong connection with this specific demographic.
