Inclusion is in! A fictional visual rebrand for a very real global nonprofit, Out In Tech (OIT). OIT unites the LGBTQIA+ tech community by creating career growth and advancement opportunities for historically underestimated and underrepresented groups. With more than 30 local chapters and more than 50k global members, they leverage tech for social change, to foster community, and to ignite opportunities for all.

I challenged myself to create a refreshed visual identity as vibrant and bold as the OIT community itself. One that would strike the balance between modern and corporate as well as inclusive and joyful. Why? As the OIT organization has grown and evolved, so too has its opportunities for positive impact across the tech sector. According to OIT, companies with more diverse teams have 22% less turnover as compared to other less inclusive organizations. A study by Josh Bersin and Deloitte has found that inclusive companies are almost twice as likely to be considered innovation leaders in their market. More inclusive companies have also been deemed by BetterUp to have better reputations, more global perspectives and cultural competence, enhanced decision-making, and ultimately increased profits. In a nutshell, by bringing people together, the opportunities for positive impact on a global scale are endless. We are all stronger together, and the OIT community is a testament to this. 😉
