The Emory Medal, first bestowed in 1946, is Emory University's highest alumni honor. It is conferred once per year, only to the most highly regarded recipients. The honorees are the featured guests at a celebration attended by previous medalists, Emory Alumni Board members, and top university administrators.

Despite the prestige of the award and of the event itself, the Emory Medal did not have a signature look. As the 2018 ceremony approached, I was tasked with creating all of the Emory Medal assets in a short timeframe. I created this formal design palette and type treatment to be used on all relevant assets, essentially making a new sub-brand for future Emory Medal ceremonies.

The designs below give the event a cohesive look befitting the occasion, and are used as assets in the lead-up as well as at the event itself. They include:

• mass email elements
• social media graphics
• presentation slides
• event signage
• lectern display
• pull-up banner
• step-and-repeat (for photos)
• napkins (the diagonal design)
