Playful illustrative system by Jonathan Calugi
We wanted to bring our brand vision to life with an expressive illustrative system. We worked with the one and the only, Jonathon Calugi, who helped translate Black Jays' vision into a custom set of characters and illustrations showing the industries they invest in.
Photography by Marcella Winograd
Black Jays recruited Marcella Winograd, an interdisciplinary designer and photographer, to help capture a fresh series of images with Black Jays.

She helped them revamp Black Jays' imagery in adherence to our branding, and produced a gallery of assets for internal and external brand use.
