We turn ideas into engaging and effective brand identities:

The cornerstones to building a memorable and timeless brand. 

Florville Catalyst creates engaging and effective brand identities — the cornerstones to building 

a memorable and timeless brand. 

 

Our branding solutions, in-a-glance, engage your audience, tell your story and advance your cause. 

They establish visual, intellectual and emotional connections that inspire action. 

 

We beleive a well-conceived brand identity should withstand the test of time. Our solutions, therefore, are timeless by design, never seeking to be trendy or garish. 

 

Here is a range of brand identities we’ve developed for diverse businesses and organizations. Take a 

look at our work. See how we think. View the branding solutions we create to provide our clients a 

compelling presence among their larger, better known competitors.

Merrill Lynch Supplier Diversity

 

Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) initiatives are programs through which corporations engage minority and woman-owned businesses (MWBEs), which are not traditionally included, to a large extent, in the supply chain. Merrill’s commitment to expanding business opportunities for MWBEs is reflected in the magnitude of its procurement expenditures. 

 

Befitting the D&I branding theme “Equal Access to Opportunity”, the identity we created transforms the letter E into an equal sign, conveying equality and equal access, at-a-glance. The equal sign also subtly resonates with the quantitative nature of Merrill’s business. Across multiple print and web-based applications, the watermark of an equal sign brands Merrill D&I program and reiterates its mission.

Friends of Paradis des Indiens

Haiti became an independent nation in 1804, when it threw off French colonial control and slavery. In spite of trade embargoes, chronic instability, political unrests and natural disasters, Haitians have remained resilient, proud and creative, with a strong sense of nationalism and community.

 

Committed to Haiti’s economic development, Friends of PDI, a grassroots organization, promotes self-sufficiency in the country’s provinces by supporting artisanal entrepreneurship and the production of arts & crafts, embroidery and woodwork. In branding Friends of PDI, we developed an organic identity, portraying the alliance of the artisanal community and depicting the tactile, hands-on nature of their craft.

Forgotten Children of Haiti
