inner*pride collaborated closely on the rebranding with Chapters’s leadership, including founder Cristina Batlan. The goal was straightforward, Chapters wanted to enforce its role as a pioneer in the area. If you want to change the world and shift culture, you can’t be shy, and must be bold and decisive. This is why we chose a bold color palette and large headlines complimented by really colorful gradients.

The visuals are intentionally understated not to outshine the messages. The vibrant gradients and the grayscale photography are part of a visual language that can keep the brand relevant in the coming years.

Chapters has positioned itself as a disruptor, a special organization that is transforming the status quo and a brand that women should use to reach their full potential.
