Local Design Company Donates New Logo for Fredericton Community Kitchen

November 3, 2005

Fredericton, NB – A unique partnership between a new up-and-coming Fredericton design studio, OrangeSprocket Communications, and the Fredericton Community Kitchen has resulted in a new clearer image for the Kitchen.

“We are delighted with the Kitchen’s new logo”, said Marie Starr, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Fredericton Community Kitchen. “ OrangeSprocket has created a visual image for the Kitchen that lets our supporters know the essential work of the kitchen is to provide good, healthy meals for those in need in our community.”

The logo, consisting of a hand holding a bowl of hot food, will appear on this year’s annual fundraising mail-out that takes place during the month of November. Donation request letters will be mailed to individuals and businesses in the Fredericton area.

“We feel very strongly about giving back to our community and saw this logo design as an opportunity to do so.” says Jeff Curry of OrangeSprocket. “Contributing our time, resources and creative energy worked out well for everyone. The Community Kitchen was looking at how they could “update” their image but did not want to take money away from the Kitchen’s activities so this was a good opportunity for both of us. “

OrangeSprocket is a new small flexible and responsive design studio operating in the Fredericton area that delivers fresh and inviting designs for print and the web.

Located at 65 Brunswick Street, the Fredericton Community Kitchen is a non-profit organization that has been operating for over 23 years. Donations to the Fredericton Community Kitchen can be sent to 65 Brunswick Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 1G5.
