Earlier today, at our 20th Anniversary Celebration, we debuted our new organizational logo. After a months-long re-branding process led by Elizabeth Wight Graphic Design, we are so pleased to share our new visual identity. As you can see, our visual branding features a bold palette of colors, unique typography, and a monarch butterfly chrysalis. We are confident that this new logo captures the concepts, emotions, and thoughtful responses provided by dozens of stakeholders and community members over the course of this year. You can learn more about our new logo at https://lnkd.in/gduJdcQX and read about the significance of the new logo below: Our vision statement says that we are working toward a future in which every neighborhood is healthy, equitable, vibrant, and diverse. The colors in this new branding—drawn from the palettes that show up again and again in folk art around the globe—communicate vibrancy, diversity, and inclusion. The chrysalis suggests health in the sense of a healthy ecosystem. Moreover, the transformation that takes place in a chrysalis is clearly life-changing for the caterpillar, but the end result isn’t just good for that one creature. When it emerges as a butterfly, it not only shares its beauty with the world around it, but also becomes a pollinator, helping plants to reproduce so that they can provide sustenance and shelter for other animals and strengthen the health of the entire ecosystem. In the same way, when our work helps a family to enjoy nutritious meals or a new food business to grow and thrive, the impact ripples throughout the region and into the future. The individual transformation brings fruitfulness and abundance to the whole community. And finally, we want to touch on the uniqueness of this identity. While butterflies are certainly common in branding—and they will show up in ours as well—it is significant that our primary logo as an organization focuses not on the mature butterfly but on the beautiful but awkward pupa stage. Butterflies are beautiful and inspiring and communicate completed transformation. But with the chrysalis, we are choosing to align ourselves with the messy middle where transformation and growth take place. Those who are impacted by our work will go on to be more fully themselves, flying free, doing good work across the community. We love that and are working toward that vision, but we especially want to celebrate the difficult and hidden work that makes that transformation possible.

This free, family-friendly event celebrates community coming together in Sacramento's River District. Come join us on Saturday for an afternoon of fun, activities, entertainment and delicious food! Alchemist Kitchen Incubator Program participant Chana's Mexican Barbeque will be there with their Crazy Good Birria Loaded Mac and Cheese, delicious tacos and other crowd favorites! #openstreetsfest2024 #akipbusiness #RiverDistrict #funinsac
