CoTech Rebrand Proposal

There is a Loomio poll open:

We’re proposing a collaborative process to evolve CoTech’s visual identity — logo, colours, typography and imagery — ahead of Co-ops Congress in July 2025, where we’d like to have a CoTech stall to promote the network. This idea came from open general circle calls and has been developed in these open meetings.

We’re asking for sign-off on the process and funding, not the final outputs. The work will be led by Creative Coop (who’ve offered to do it at cost), with input from an open Brand Working Group. We’ll seek £3000 in funding (£1000 from CoTech fund + £2000 from Solidfund) to deliver the work by June.

Full details with outputs, timelines etc. can be found in the attached document.

And @chrislowis asked with his vote:

Have you considered asking workers.coop to fund this work in addition to / instead of Solidfund?

I’m afraid to say that as far as I’m aware workers.coop is not in a financial position to help with this.

(I’m posting this here as the way the poll / thread has been created on Loomio means we can’t reply there.)

Hi everyone!
Creative Coop is excited to be taking on CoTech’s visual identity project.
As mentioned in the proposal, we’d love to make this a collaborative process to do that, we’re setting up a Brand Working Group (6–8 people, one person per co-op max)
This group will be involved from the very beginning, helping to shape the ‘design brief’ and contributing to the direction of the project at each stage. They will need to be able to take part in all the meetings.
Our first meeting is this Wednesday at 3 pm, where we’ll develop the design brief, share the initial plan and book the next meetings. Please join us if you can. :slightly_smiling_face:
