Cal Humanities

Established in 1975, Cal Humanities is a “non-profit that promotes the humanities in California to help create ‘a state of open mind.'” It produces, funds, and supports cultural experiences in media, literature, and discussion programs. Formerly known as the California Council for the Humanities, they recently changed their name and introduced a new identity designed by Portland, OR-based Owen Jones & Partners. Cal humanities explains about the open quote in their logo: “The open quote. It’s the start of every great idea. It represents the beginning of dialogue, thought, conversations… the figurative start to a perspective that may change how we think about the world.” Logo and identity applications here.
