BOLD VISION. New Futures.

The Earthshot Prize

Designing for Impact

We believe brand identity is a tool for change. The Earthshot Prize needed a platform that could engage diverse audiences—from world leaders to grassroots innovators. The toolkit we developed enables The Earthshot Prize to communicate its mission with clarity and optimism, sparking action at all levels. It’s built for flexibility, ensuring the brand remains relevant in a constantly evolving world.

A Brand with Purpose

The new identity highlights the interconnectedness of individual actions and their collective impact. The central globe motif represents how every effort—big or small—adds to a larger movement for change. This visual concept is timeless, inclusive, and scalable, making the brand a powerful call to action.
