Pentagram developed a new visual identity for Grow to Know, a not-for-profit born from the Grenfell Tower tragedy that uses gardening as a tool for healing and activism. Inspired by blueprints and the cyanotype process, the identity transforms themes of loss into optimism, symbolizing growth, connection, and regeneration within urban communities.
Pentagram, led by partner Marina Willer, has created a new identity for the non-profit Grow to Know, founded by Tayshan Hayden-Smith in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The identity uses cyanotype prints made from local plants to symbolize growth, healing, and community regeneration. The project reflects both the organization’s grassroots ethos and Pentagram’s commitment to meaningful, tactile design.
