Stylized “E”: The “E” is Evermore’s initial. It represents the organization like a monogram. The stylized design has three elements, and this reflects the three parts of Evermore’s positioning statement (gather, grow, lead). The shapes of the E recall leaves, which aligns with the trees in the positioning statement and the theme of growth.
Colours: The combination of teals and purples is bright, young and playful, while also being professional and contemporary. The teals reinforce the theme of growth, as they are close to green (like trees!). The warmth of the purple balances the lightness of the teal, and is a subtle nod to the red that was part of WCCP’s old logo.
Tagline: Gather Grow Lead
Rationale: speaks to what the organization offers participants – a place to gather grow and lead. It also speaks to the idea that the organization is growing future leaders.

Trees: The different trees reflect the idea that Evermore is inclusive of all different kinds of people and kids. The trees are a nod to Evermore’s community in West Central Winnipeg, where many streets are lined with large trees – and by referencing the community it carries on the tradition of the previous logo, which also referenced the community with a cityscape. Trees are a place where kids gather to play with their friends – which is part of what Evermore does. Trees also speak to the theme of growth.
