next stop, innovation

Although one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the area and despite its close proximity to Harvard Square, Kendall/MIT, and downtown Boston, Union Square in Somerville had been hamstrung by the lack of efficient public transportation. With the opening of the new Green Line T station in 2021, a tremendous opportunity exists to bring new residents and businesses to the Square. But how do we express this future vision today?

pioneering the future

In creating the branding, website, and interiors for the USQ marketing center, Visual Dialogue started with an extensive research and discovery process to understand both the best of the current neighborhood and the potential of its future.
