Case Study

Branding for Massachusetts POST Commission

Creating a logo to communicate trust and confidence was a fundamental initial step for this new state agency.

OVERVIEW

The Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission was established as part of the criminal justice reform enacted in Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020. As a newly formed government agency, POST needed a complete brand identity, specifically starting with the creation of a logo.

Logo Design

The logo for POST had to embody its primary mission. This mission involves enhancing public trust in law enforcement via the implementation of compulsory certification, training, and discipline for all peace officers. Through the establishment of the POST Commission, the Commonwealth took a crucial step towards improving public safety and building trust between law enforcement personnel and their communities. To reflect this, Jackrabbit designed a logo that exuded professionalism and trustworthiness while also being timeless.

Marketing Collateral Design

In addition to the logo and stationery system, Jackrabbit created various essential collateral. All the materials were consistently and cleanly branded to convey a professional image.

Stationery System

The organization required a stationery system that was clean, professional, and well-designed. Our services encompassed crafting various stationery items such as letterhead, business cards, envelopes, mailing labels, notecards, and e-signatures.

ANNUAL REPORT

In its first annual report, the POST Commission laid the groundwork for a series of future regulations for police officer conduct, including outlining circumstances when law enforcement personnel might be denied recertification that allows them to do their job. This inaugural report was of high importance and the Commission trusted Jackrabbit for the design and production of the report. The nearly 30-page report spans the start of the POST Commission on April 1, 2021, through Dec. 31, 2022.

Powerpoint Presentation Template

The POST Commission holds a variety of monthly public meetings and hearings, in which a PowerPoint presentation is used to present important information. Jackrabbit was tasked with creating a master branded template for POST that would be used for these presentations.
