First Congregational Church

A welcoming, vibrant brand for a historic church community — faithful, inclusive, and full of life.

For the First Congregational Church of Burlington, our goal was to create a brand identity that reflects the church’s long-standing spirit of radical inclusivity, joyful faith, and deep community roots. We sought to design a visual language that felt true to FCCB’s rich history, yet fresh enough to engage a modern and evolving congregation.

The Result

The final design blends classic, history-inspired typography with a warm, vibrant color palette pulled from nature and Vermont’s landscapes. Clean, contemporary layouts and human-first photography highlight the church’s welcoming culture and spirit of connection. Custom textures and brand icons, inspired by stained glass and natural motifs, add a layer of meaning and reverence throughout the brand experience.

It was a seamless experience.
