Task

To update and ensure uniformity of brand across all print and electronic media.

Background

The client is Oklahoma’s largest home builder since building her first home in 1981. The logo, while recognizable, feels a little antiquated with colors commonly used by corporate America (i.e. red, white, and blue).

Strategy

  • Introduce the logo in one color against a darker background to freshen up the look. The original two-color logo is used too.
  • Create a bold branding element (i.e. the wave with corporate colors) to balance the strong lines of the logo.
  • Highlight client’s value propositions in fun and creative ways. Click here for “The Phalanges” Campaign.
  • Allow client’s customers (e.g. homeowners) to tell their stories of homeownership.
