Elevating Minnesota CPAs
New MNCPA logo revealed
Good news: We have a new coat of paint — and we're thrilled to share why and how.
After more than 30 years since our last logo redesign, we decided to refresh and strengthen our brand with one that reflects the growing changes of today's financial landscape as well as our resiliency, innovation, values and creativity. We wanted to showcase our organization's longevity, experience and adaptability with a fresh perspective for how we present ourselves and connect with members. And most importantly, we wanted a logo that lets members know they belong.
The process
We worked with the MNCPA board of directors, members and a creative agency to complete this reimaging. Together, we identified key differentiators and value drivers that created the foundation of our refreshed brand and highlighted the evolution.
Our value drivers
Our value drivers serve as our guiding principles for what we do every day to lead the MNCPA and the accounting profession forward.

ADVOCACY
We lead the way forward
We advocate for finance and accounting professionals and the critical role they play in our prosperity. When opportunities arise to elevate the accounting profession, we work to inspire confidence and earn trust, so we can all continue to thrive.
The logo
The new MNCPA logo features our acronym in lowercase, curved letters in a clean typeface. This gives it a modern, approachable and welcoming feel. The arrow icon is a callback to the trees from our previous logo. This added element represents the upward momentum and success that results from working together toward a common goal, a key component of our values. It also dovetails nicely with our new tagline, “Elevate your impact.”
The tagline
Elevate your impact reflects the value we bring to members who want to make a difference. It invites members — current and potential — to consider their roles in how they not only represent MNCPA externally but also how they perceive themselves as financial professionals as they grow their career. Known for excellence and knowledge, we want the MNCPA to continue to be perceived as a trusted, well-respected organization for decades to come.
The colors
We bridged the gap between the original green and blue colors of our palette by giving them a modern twist. These colors still represent the core facets of our brand: The green represents our continuous growth while the blue conveys trust, knowledge and excellence. These colors also symbolize the trees and water of Minnesota, serving as a connection to our community and our commitment to the people in the regions we serve.
