Center of Concern

Center of Concern (COC)

The 1971 founding of the Center of Concern in Washington DC was supported and sponsored by the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits) at a time of re-awakening to the gospel imperative to work for Social Justice. Since then, the Center of Concern has offered moral vision and provided effective leadership in the struggle to end hunger, poverty, environmental decline, and injustice in the United States and around the world. The Center of Concern has not only NGO, but also Consultative Status with the UN.

Education For Justice

The Education For Justice project has an expansive membership-based website chock full of prepared resources related to Catholic Social Teaching for educators. In November of 2007 we helped them port their site over to Drupal from a proprietary CMS which was not user-friendly. Although they had great content, it was hard to organize it well in the restrictive and clunky system they were tied in to. Recently, we've given the site another major update.

COC Annual Report 2006-2007

Center of Concern wanted to bring their new more youthful, organizational look to their annual report, a publication that CEDC has worked on for many years. With the new look in mind, CEDC changed up their normal layout, creating a horizontal based design, and used the “brushstroke” rough edge from their logo as a repeatable graphic element to help frame the page and bring in a bit of the movement felt in the logo.

Center Focus

Center of Concern wanted to bring their new more youthful, organizational look to their newsletter Center Focus which in the past had been designed in-house. In keeping with the new look, CEDC designed a clean, bright, bold masthead that incorporated the rough “brushstroke” used on their logo. A clean 4-column grid layout was designed; and typography and color were kept consistent with the COC logo.

Center of Concern logo

Center of Concern came to CEDC looking to redesign and refreshen the organizational identity. The staff of COC wanted a more youthful, forward thinking design, that had to include a globe and the concept of movement. Combining rough brush strokes, a san serif font and a more vibrant youthful color combination, CEDC was able to create a eye catching logo that is the basis for their entire organizational design standard.
