New Partnership with St. John the Divine

The Iconic New York Landmark Sets the Stage for a Bold New Chapter

By Selman

We are delighted to announce that the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, a New York City icon, has selected us as its creative partner in all design work. This partnership marks a significant new chapter in the historic church’s visual storytelling. Prior to our partnership, the Cathedral collaborated with our friends at Brand Federation to refine its strategic direction and approach to reaching new members. 

We learned people were looking for a place for reflection and peace, but that invitation wasn’t reflected in the brand’s current designs.”
Rian Chandler-Dovis, Partner, Brand Federation

Building on the foundation of an incredible 30-year collaboration with Michael Bierut at Pentagram, the Cathedral is excited to take the next step in its brand identity evolution, citing Selman’s expertise in bringing systems and simplicity to brands’ complex visual needs.

The Cathedral presents an inspiring opportunity for our studio at the crossroads of social good and New York City culture. We’re honored to work with such an iconic institution and are eager to create designs that reflect the Cathedral’s immense positive impact on the community.

We needed a partner who understood our legacy and could take us into the future...Selman’s creativity and vision stood out.”
Kristine Pottinger, Director of Marketing & Communications, The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine.
