For Lodi Access Center, our design approach centered on bridging multiple identities—connecting the city of Lodi, InnerCity Action, and the visual style of Outreach Ministries International. The heart element creates a meaningful link to InnerCity Action's established branding, while the protective roof motif communicates the shelter services at the core of their mission. Ingeniously woven into the design is "LODI" itself—the L forms the left side of the house, the O appears as the heart, the D creates a sideways door, and the I completes the right side. This door imagery intentionally reinforces their slogan: "an open door to change." The result is a cohesive visual identity that honors all three organizations while establishing the center as its own entity with a clear, purposeful presence in the community.
