A Radiant Sisterhood
Since 1917, Sigma Delta Tau Sorority has prioritized inclusivity and individuality, creating a space where each sister can shine as her best self. For over 100 years, Sigma Delta Tau has remained dedicated to its collegiate members, alumnae, volunteers and donors by establishing a sisterhood that offers personal and professional development opportunities while encouraging women’s empowerment.
Time to Shine
To ensure the Sorority continues to shine, it was essential to create a brand identity that would resonate with all members, while still holding its history at its center. With that in mind, we developed a new tagline, logo designs, business systems, branded templates, an animated launch video and a website.
The Torch features elements significant to the Sorority with subtle nods to a water droplet, tea rose and the Star of David, calling back to the history and ritual of Sigma Delta Tau.
Tagline: Shine as One
A new tagline was developed to show that when all members come together and bring their strengths, skills and unique lights to the table, the Sorority, in turn, will Shine as One. This call to action showcases the collective good that emanates from Sigma Delta Tau.
Setting the Standards
With the introduction of a new brand identity, the creation of a comprehensive brand standards guide was crucial to defining the rules and instructions for the marketing collateral. From logos and colors to templates and type, we designed a 43-page guide to identify the best use case for varying elements.
A Cohesive Brand Identity
To create a holistic and consistent brand experience, the Sigma Delta Tau Sorority logomark was altered to create a sister mark for the Foundation. This mark is unique to the Foundation with the presence of its additional wording, but also similar enough to the Sorority mark that it upholds and maintains brand recognition between the two entities.
A New Digital Experience
Along with the launch of the brand, a shiny new website was designed and developed. This site introduced an enhanced user experience, featuring easy-to-navigate pages that are as functional as they are beautiful. With shining moments such as glimmering golden buttons and subtle animations incorporated throughout the pages, the sisterhood of Sigma Delta Tau radiates through the new website.
The Big Reveal
The brand was officially announced with an animated launch video highlighting the future of the Sorority, while also reflecting on the impact that the sisterhood of Sigma Delta Tau has made on its members over the years.
Results
The brand was revealed during the Sorority’s National Convention on June 27, 2024, and was met with positive feedback from those in attendance and those watching online. The new brand has sparked a renewed connection to the Sorority and will light the way for Sigma Delta Tau members to continue carrying the torch as they Shine as One.
