This brandmark projects a graphic representation of African aesthetics already present in textile, painting and sculpture design. The CCBD brandmark also symbolizes our goal to help create and nurture opportunities for all people of color while establishing a standard of excellence in our industry. We will do this by creating a consistent design language that visually reflects the various cultures of people of color, throughout the world, in a positive and aspirational way. Together, we will create a voice that will be heard throughout the world. The origin of our brandmark is the West African Adinkrahene, chief of all Adinkra symbols, which signifies greatness, charisma and leadership. It is said to have inspired the designing of other symbols, as we too, at the Center for Creating Black Designers, seek to inspire others.
