Ronald McDonald House
Brand identity, 2025
Ronald McDonald House wanted to modernize its brand so it could better accomplish its core goal—to care for families when they have children who are ill or injured.
The new name, Ronald McDonald House, is a significant shift towards global consistency and building understanding of the brand’s mission among key audiences. The new visual identity refreshes the brand to appeal to future generations. The logo is inviting and warm, evolving essential elements—the heart and the house—of the previous identity, while a vibrant color palette draws the audience in. The authentic, human-centric photography style is designed to inspire emotion, and expressive shapes and icons add dynamism, clarity, and sense of optimism.
