The Richard L. Duchossois Foundation

The foundation was established to address complex social challenges through grants and funding for organizations in the Chicagoland area. When it came time to launch their brand, the goal was to create a visual identity that reflected their mission and impact.

My contributions included the development of the brand visual identity, design of website elements, creation of graphics for PR communications, email marketing, presentation materials, and designs for their office. This work helped establish the digital and visual foundation of a philanthropic organization built to make a lasting difference.

Challenge And Outcome

The Challenge- The Richard L. Duchossois Foundation, dedicated to addressing complex social issues in the Chicagoland area, needed a strong brand presence to launch publicly. As a newly established foundation, they required a cohesive visual identity and digital footprint to clearly communicate their mission and values.
The Goal - The goal was to build a professional, trustworthy, and inspiring brand system that reflected the foundation’s commitment to long-term social impact.
The Approach - Our team worked together to shape every element of the foundation’s launch. With the direction of keeping things simple and bold, we brought the RLD initials to life using regal colors and subtle patterns that honored both Mr. Duchossois’s railroad business past and his Bronze Star earned in World War II.
The Outcome - The launch established a strong and lasting foundation for the brand, helping the organization communicate its mission with clarity and impact. With a cohesive identity, the Richard L. Duchossois Foundation is well-positioned to build awareness, foster trust, and make a lasting difference in the Chicagoland community.
