Website homepage for Driving the Vote for Equality that features a full-screen image of a golden yellow 1916 Saxon Roadster on the side of the road in the foreground. Behind it is a road sign that reads ERA Now A Constitutional Necessity. In the distance are mountains and a city skyline. The driving the vote for equality logo is overlaid on the image in white. Adjacent to the logo is a hamburger-style drawer menu icon on the left and a Get Involved button on the right.

I recently helped ERA Now with a website for Driving the Vote for Equality, a 25-state tour, inspired by the 1916 suffrage drive led by Alice Burke and Nell Richardson. The goal is to collect 1 million petition signatures and press Congress to recognize the Equal Rights Amendment: drivingthevote.org

1/3: The Measure identity is built on contrast—classic typography with strong geometry, a restrained palette, and visuals that reference construction. A custom brandmark, wordmarks, flexible colors, and editorial typography support both the firm’s creative and technical work.

2/5: The Status wordmark’s custom letterforms are shaped by a simple soundwave pattern—a core brand device used on packaging, etched into cases, and in collateral. It also guides new letterform design, ensuring consistency and a link to the brand’s focus on control and fidelity. ⁣

1/5: Status’s identity is built on restraint—clarity, neutrality, and longevity guide every choice. A core wordmark, recurring soundwave pattern, secondary marks, product IDs, and minimal colors form a system that supports the brand’s no-nonsense, audio-first focus.

I always loved what Grilli Type Foundry was doing with the GT Academy on IG — more educational than marketing but I think it served as both pretty well.
