Meditate in MCR
Brand and visual identity for a Manchester meditation community—clear, welcoming, and rooted in the city's character.
Overview
The Kadampa Meditation Community in Manchester needed an identity that feels approachable and calm while working in urban, everyday contexts.
The project covered logo, colour, typography, and application guidelines so the brand could scale across events, venues, and online channels.
A full charitable branding project (July–September 2025): refreshing publicity for a small charity in Chorlton-cum-Hardy with a clearer, more contemporary feel.
Searching for the vibe
Research drew on Manchester itself—its neighbourhoods, energy, and visual language.
The right vibe
From city centre to suburbs, Manchester shifts in tone; the identity needed to sit comfortably in that mix.
New brochure
A launch piece to introduce the refreshed brand and showcase the charity's activities.
More applications
Further identity touchpoints—including a small renovation to the Victorian-style entrance of the meditation centre.
Areas of focus
Logo & mark
A distinctive mark that reads clearly at small sizes and in single-colour print.
Colour & type
A restrained palette and readable type aligned with a calm, inclusive tone.
Templates
Layouts for posters, social graphics, and everyday comms the team can publish quickly.
Guidelines
Practical notes on spacing, usage, and dos and don'ts for consistent application.
Reflection
The project ran from research through design to implementation—useful practice in keeping a charity brand distinctive yet easy for non-designers to apply day to day.
Thank you to the Kadampa Meditation Community in Manchester for the opportunity. It was a great experience and I'm proud to have been part of it.
