The challenge

Give a complex strategy one clear identity.

Age-Friendly Kansas connects organizations, communities and public-health systems around healthy aging. The visual system needed to hold serious policy content while remaining energetic, human and easy to navigate.

From launch to statewide action

The identity became a shared banner.

The initiative launched as a multi-sector conversation among state agencies, aging and public-health professionals and community members. It grew into a statewide action plan built around healthy aging across the lifespan.
