The Illinois Music Education Association is an organization that connects music teachers throughout the state. Through advocacy and education, the ILMEA delivers professional development for music educators and amazing experiences for music students. With over 3,500 members, ILMEA is the largest fine arts education organization in Illinois. As they looked to grow and serve their members with new programs and conferences, we helped develop a new identity that branded the organization in a new positive light.

Logo
The final logo emphasizes three main elements and unifies them into one comprehensive package. By bringing together the shape of Illinois, a music staff, and the initials of the organization, we were able to create a mark that was completely own-able and identifiable.


“GD Squared brought ILMEA’s branding into the 21st century. They took the mission and vision of our organization and created a logo to reflect exactly who we are in a clear and recognizable way.”

Additional Logos
The brand extends to logos for the ILMEA annual conference and the ILMEA Elementary Series program which focuses on music education for younger students.
