Raise Green’s mission is to accelerate the development of local climate action projects in the US.

Raise Green partners with local leaders to start solar projects in their communities and make investing in these projects accessible for everyone. Your Majesty was tasked with creating a brand identity that sets them apart and developing their go-to-market strategy.

An identity designed to provoke actions

Despite an increase in public discourse around sustainability, tangible measures against climate change remain stagnant. Raise Green is created with a sheer focus on enabling action, not talk. To capture this energy, we developed a brand statement that guided our design process:

We’re done talking. If you want “change,” start here.

The elements in the identity pay homage to past anti-establishment movements.

Giving FinTech an inclusive twist

The Raise Green brand demonstrates intelligence and credibility through direct messaging in combination with an energetic aesthetic. The identity presents investment outcomes such as numbers, quotes, and photographs in a clear and down-to-earth manner, making the brand feel community-based and accessible.

Raise Green’s mission is to accelerate the development of local climate action projects in the US.

Your Majesty is a firm comprising kind, creative, and talented practitioners. At each step of our interaction, we were blown away by the consideration and craftsmanship.
