Concordia Group required a new, sleek visual identity that reflected their brand positioning and personality. We wanted to:
- Visually convey their creative approach to serving their customers
- Feel professional and convey expertise
- Have a creative, original look and feel
- Appear local and welcoming as opposed to corporate
- Be relatable to the Vancouver market
Based on the strategy, we chose a refined, creative, and elegant visual direction. The direction aimed to visually convey Concordia Group’s outside the box approach to real estate by contrasting classical design elements with a contemporary bold aesthetic. By overlapping design features, we disrupt conventional layouts.
