The Drache Aptowitzer crest

Drache Aptowitzer PC

Brand refresh, design system, website and SEO

2026

drache.ca (opens in a new tab)

A refreshed identity, a design system and a new website for a Toronto charity and tax law firm.

Drache Aptowitzer PC is a Toronto law firm that advises charities, not-for-profits and individuals on tax and related matters. In a June 2026 workshop with the firm we refreshed its classic oxblood and brass crest around its line, "Doing good for those doing good.", then built a design system and the new drache.ca on it.

A law firm's site has to earn trust before anyone calls, without giving legal advice on the page. The brand had to feel established rather than new, and every statement on the site had to be one the firm stands behind.

Mark

The crest keeps the firm's initials over a tree held in two hands; the lockup sets it beside the name for the site header and documents.
