Muttini Mixer 2026 Event Logo & Branding Design

We are looking to partner with a skilled graphic designer to create a refreshed logo and visual identity for our signature fundraising event, Muttini Mixer 2026, a dog-friendly cocktail party taking place on the beach in Lewes, Delaware.

This project will focus on developing a cohesive, creative visual that captures the spirit of the event: a blend of playful (dogs), coastal (beach setting), and polished (cocktail party atmosphere).

Specifically, we are hoping the volunteer can:

Design 2–3 initial logo concepts for Muttini Mixer 2026
Incorporate elements such as dogs, cocktails/martinis, and a beach/coastal vibe
Refine one selected concept through 1–2 rounds of feedback and revisions
Create a final logo suite, including:
-Primary logo
-Alternate/simplified versions
-Black & white and reversed versions
-Provide final files in formats suitable for both print and digital use

If time allows, we would also love support with:

A few companion graphics for social media or event promotion
Light guidance on how to consistently apply the visual identity across materials

This is a high-impact but manageable project that can realistically be completed over a few weeks within the 2–5 hour/week timeframe. We are collaborative, responsive, and excited to work with someone who enjoys bringing fun, meaningful events to life through design.

The final product will be used across invitations, social media, signage, and event materials and will play a key role in helping us attract attendees, engage supporters, and raise funds to support animals in need.

This project will directly support Humane Animal Partners’ mission to care for and find loving homes for thousands of animals each year.

Muttini Mixer is a key fundraising event that brings together animal lovers, donors, and community members in support of our lifesaving work. A strong, engaging visual identity will play an important role in elevating the event, helping us attract new attendees, increase visibility, and inspire greater giving.

The logo and branding created through this project will be used across all event materials, from digital promotion to on-site signage, helping to create a cohesive and memorable experience that encourages participation and support.

Ultimately, the success of this event translates into critical funding for programs such as adoptions, low-cost veterinary care, and community pet retention services. By contributing their skills, the volunteer will help expand our reach, strengthen donor engagement, and directly impact the number of animals we are able to serve.

This is an opportunity to see your creative work come to life in a meaningful way, supporting not just an event, but the animals and families who benefit from it.

HAP is well-positioned to support this project and ensure a successful partnership. We have strong internal alignment on the goals and direction of the Muttini Mixer 2026 event, and our team is prepared to be responsive, collaborative, and respectful of the volunteer’s time.

We will provide all necessary materials upfront, including:

Brand guidelines (colors, fonts, visual style)
Previous event logos and examples
Creative inspiration and clear direction
Photos of the venue and past events

A dedicated staff lead will serve as the primary point of contact, ensuring timely communication, consolidated feedback, and an efficient review process. We are committed to providing clear, actionable input and minimizing revisions to stay within the project scope.

Importantly, the final logo and visual identity will be fully utilized across event marketing materials, including digital promotion, print collateral, signage, and event-day elements, ensuring the volunteer’s work has meaningful visibility and impact.

We are committed to creating a positive, organized, and rewarding experience for the volunteer!
