Going legit. For NGOs and nonprofits, establishing legitimacy in the digital space can often be a challenge, especially as unscrupulous groups can now easily spin up dummy sites and begin soliciting support. As the organization already responsible for the .org domain, the Public Interest Registry (PIR) realized the solution to this problem might lay in the new .ngo domain they had recently begun managing. By offering .ngo only to groups who can verify their nonprofit status, PIR has provided a way to instantly affirm group authenticity through an exclusive domain, and created an online community of .ngo peer organizations. Our task was to help PIR develop the .ngo-specific sub-brand called “OnGood” and then use that brand to guide a full redesign of their marketing site.

Summary
We began by helping PIR develop the .ngo-specific sub-brand called “OnGood,” then used that as a foundation to guide a full redesign of their marketing site. The result is a brand dedicated to shining a light on good in our world.
