All Classical Portland Rolls Out New Logo

Yamhill, December 1st. All Classical Portland unveiled new logo to an intimate gathering of friends including Jack Allen, All Classical Portland CEO and President; Ronni Lacroute, owner, WillaKenzie Estate Vineyards; Jelly Helm, principal, Jelly Studios. The new logo, which was unveiled at WillaKenzie Estate Vineyards, elegantly combines several key elements: the spirit and creativity of the great composers and the critical sense of place – with an overall feel for the 30-year enduring history of 89.9 FM.

Studio Jelly, headed by Jelly Helm, Northwest creative and former Executive Creative Director of Wieden+Kennedy, crafted the new name “All Classical Portland,” the hand-drawn logo (see above), and the positioning statement “we love this music.” Helm considers himself a storyteller, but he’s also a devoted All Classical Portland listener. Studio Jelly exists to help brands explore and tell their deep story, precisely at the heart of what All Classical Portland is addressing on the cusp of its 30th anniversary.

Jack Allen, All Classical Portland President & CEO, recognizing that securing a strong and independent identity for the future is vitally important, stated: “As with many small not-for-profits, All Classical Portland has evolved its name and brand over a significant period of time, often in reaction to abruptly and rapidly changing circumstances. In this instance we are thrilled that Jelly helped us with a carefully considered and strategic solution to the confusion and conundrum around our name. Our board of directors, staff, and volunteers, as well as the thousands of donors and hundreds of thousands of listeners in the local and global community we’ve built around this great music, can now carry the message and the merit of All Classical Portland forward without hesitation.”

From All Classical Portland:
