Description

The 519 is a City of Toronto agency serving Toronto’s LGBTQ population. Artist Josef Albers’ “interaction of colour” inspired the concept: that individual colours look quite different when presented against contrasting hues. The three spaces represent the core pillars of The 519’s organizational offerings: Space, Service and Leadership. The new brand identity resulted in an influx of donations, doubled website views, positive media coverage and an increase in social media reach.
