Project Scope
Only realty wanted a more modern and fresher look. Only Realty has been around for many years, and to create a brand that would really enhance an already great logo would be a massive challenge. This project was very challenging and took almost 3 months to complete. The onboarding stage was started and moodboards were created to ensure the project was headed into the right direction. The client wanted to make sure they have a new look that would stand the test of time, and enhance their brand as very professional, modern, and still approachable by all types of clients. They assist clients with any type of property, big or small.
Goals
→ New modern logo, but still keeping their main corporate colour
→ Modern but corporate colour, with some creative sub colours
→ Really connecting clients to the new brand, without losing trust in the new look
→ Marketing materials to be used across all mediums of advertising
→ Social media campaigns – collateral design
→ Complete new Brand Identity to ensure the client can move forward successfully, as this is what I truly wanted for the brand and the client. To move forward without boundaries.
→ Marketing as well as Signage collateral for any type of medium was create successfully.
Challenges
→ Modern vs. professional vs. current
→ Design assets to ensure that the brand is unique and really boosts their professionalism
→ Creating a different strategy going forward with unique collateral
→ Ensure Brand consistency
→ Create social presence through a well-designed digital media
→ Ensure brand awareness as well as the message they would like clients to know
The Result
The final deliverables included style guides (Brand Identity), Social media assets, UX design, and UI design, signage assets as well as images to create the complete brand id for all marketing and advertising assets. Image treatments are warm and in line with the primary brand colours.
I was able to complete this project for the Brand Identity in 4 – 5 months, achieving and overcoming a massive challenge with the new brand vs. the old brand.
Brand awareness completed. The Brand has grown, and the client feels super comfortable to post their own collateral following the complete Brand Identity. Ultimately the client is the brand, whatever you put out, is what the first impression will look like. The Brand Identity is ever growing and I look forward to the next few years in the client’s growth.
