HQ Toronto, at 790 Bay St., is a welcoming, sex-positive, shame-free, stigma-free, and bully-free space where cis guys into guys and all trans and non-binary people can receive integrated, person-centered health services. Its team first approached Frontier to help name the space, which led to a comprehensive visual identity, launch collateral, and wayfinding system.
