Diocese of Newark
Rebranding a Network for Justice, Mercy, and Renewal
The Challenge
The Episcopal Diocese of Newark needed to clarify its identity as more than just a collection of churches—it’s a living network of faith communities committed to justice, mercy, and spiritual transformation. Their communications needed to reflect unity, clarity, and a sense of shared purpose, not just visual appeal.
Our Approach
- We developed a new diocesan seal and a full logo family to serve parishes and programs across the diocese.
- We authored a style guide to ensure every communication—digital or print—remained consistent, compelling, and mission-aligned.
- Our collaboration extended to branding multiple diocesan conventions, creating visual identities, digital promotions, signage, programs, and ephemera tailored to each year’s theme and a multigenerational audience.
What We Delivered
- Diocesan seal and logo family

Brand style guide

“Happy to recommend Stoneroller! They've completed numerous projects for us—including branding, website design, letterhead, client presentations—all of which stand out for their clean, compelling aesthetics and strategic, results-oriented approach. In a visual culture where design makes a real impact, Stoneroller consistently delivers work that is both beautiful and effective.”
