Alongside our logo system, color palette, and typography, our new brand identity includes a bespoke pattern library, hand-crafted by the LCAC Creative Collective, honoring the textile traditions of 20 countries, with a modern interpretation. We use these patterns alongside an imagery library made up of photos captured in countries across Latin America to celebrate our story, and the cultures that make up Latinidad. We’re excited to show you all how our brand comes to life on screen and off.

Accessibility and invitation are integral in our brand roll out. As part of the new digital studio at LCAC, we’re developing a curriculum modeled after real-world creative agency environments to introduce students to a variety of creative disciplines. Future digital studio students will learn how to use our brand guidelines to create electric, on-brand promotional & marketing content to hone their skillsets in graphic design, animation, video, sound design, creative writing, and more.

Working in parallel with our practical arts program, digital studio students will learn to steward, maintain, and amplify a brand, equipping them with a deeper understanding of the tools, methods, and problem solving skills needed to excel in the creative world.

As we prepare to settle into our new home, we’re working to expand our creative programming, cultural events, workshops and general offerings. The LCAC board, staff, and community partners continually return to our core values to serve multi-generational and multicultural communities rooted in Latinidad.

With a new home, a new brand, we have set the foundation needed to evolve and expand the Latino Cultural Arts Center.

Typography plays a central role in our identity, shaping the voice and visual character of how we communicate. As a bilingual organization, it’s important to have a type system that performs beautifully in both English and Spanish. We worked with Ivan at RK Type to craft RK Pyramid, a custom display typeface designed specifically to reflect the spirit and energy of our community.

RK Pyramid incorporates the geometry of our logo with beautiful, stepped alternate characters and comes with full Spanish-language support. Designed for headlines and short-form messaging, its all-caps construction allows us to make bold, eye-catching statements with clarity and legibility.

Accessibility and creative participation were key throughout the process. As an org committed to artists & designers, we want tools that are easily adopted by students, staff, & community members alike. To support this, RK Pyramid displays alternate characters simply by typing in lowercase, making it intuitive for anyone to create dynamic, on-brand typography with minimal effort.

“To get to use my craft as a way of connecting with my culture, for an organization I deeply care about, is such a rare opportunity. It’s been an honor to be a part of this particular collective of people, using our skills to make our own kind of offering to our past and our future.” – RK Type

Alongside RK Pyramid, our type system includes typefaces from two incredible Argentinian type designers:

Filmotype Yukon, an expressive script by Ale Paul, speaks to Latino traditions of sign painting, pinstriping, tattoo culture, and Chicano visual expression.

Archivo, a thoughtfully-crafted workhorse by Héctor Gatti of Omnibus-Type, provides clarity and consistency across long-form content, digital experiences, and everyday communications.

Together, these typefaces form a cohesive typographic system that is highly functional and culturally resonant, giving us a distinct visual language that honors our heritage while providing a foundation for the future of the Latino Cultural Arts Center.

The Latino Cultural Arts Center is approaching a milestone 10 years in the making: the completion of a permanent home. More than a building, this new space marks the beginning of a new chapter, expanding our capacity, deepening our impact, and establishing a hub for communities across the Denver metro area and beyond.

To reflect this evolution, LCAC partnered with a creative collective of local designers, strategists, and writers, led by Consume & Create™, to reimagine our brand identity. Our main goal was to express the LCAC’s expanded role as a beacon of Latinidad: a place where traditions are preserved, resilience is amplified, and innovation is inspired through community.

Drawing from the stepped forms of the Teotihuacan pyramids and other pre-Columbian monuments found throughout the Latin America, the collective developed a new mark rooted in both history and possibility: The Platform and the Pathway.

“We wanted the identity to embody the same qualities these monuments have carried for centuries: celebrating culture, honoring belief, bringing people together, and enduring through time. –Daniel Quay

As we engaged with our staff, donors, youth, and community members, the pyramid metaphor began to appear more and more. The form became the foundation to a unifying visual language: functioning as a portal, a stage, and a stepped pathway connecting ancestral traditions with contemporary expressions of culture across time.

Our hope is that the new identity invites you to see yourself as part of a living cultural legacy. One that spans generations and invites you to consider the role you will play in shaping what comes next, ultimately asking: “What kind of ancestor do I want to become?

We invite you to step into the story with us. Follow us here on instagram, & visit lcac-denver.org to sign up for a building tour, subscribe to our newsletter, and learn how you can join our comunidad to co-author the next chapter of the Latino Cultural Arts Center.

After years of dreaming, organizing, and building alongside so many of you, we're opening the doors of the LCAC for public construction tours. This is a moment to stand inside what we've been building together - to see the beams, the rooms, the becoming.

Tours will run on Friday's in April and May, beginning Friday, April 10. Groups are capped at 10 to keep things safe and ensure each visitor gets real time with the space and the story.

What to know before you come:

* Closed-toe shoes are required (this is an active construction site)
* Long pants recommended
* Hard hats and safety vests provided on site
* Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in and gear up
* Parking is available along 12th Ave and Umatilla.
* RSVP required — spots fill quickly

To the donors, volunteers, artists, neighbors, tradespeople, and believers who carried this vision through every season: thank you. This building does not belong to one person. It belongs to all of us and to the generations who will fill it.

Come walk with us. See what your support has built.
