Client Spotlight: Naples Sunset Living, John R. Wood Properties

– Melissa Gacek, “The Brand Girl”

Naples Sunset Living came to Creative Adrenaline with a two-fold design challenge:

First, develop a new brand package for Naples Sunset Realty that would stand out amongst the highly competitive luxury real estate market in Naples and surrounding areas. This brand needed to follow the guidelines of the new branding rollout of JR Wood Properties. Fortunately, the John R. Wood new brand colors were great options and helped narrow down the choices, see swatches below. Secondly, to design a variation of that logo to spotlight Transgender Community awareness/support.

So, when doing this, I first look at the competitive landscape, brands, and websites. What are the other real estate companies doing? How does their brand look, stand out? Does it have brand energy?

Next, I look at other Naples logos, other sunset logos. I search for different Naples beach and sunset images. I also traveled to the area so I really could get a feel for the vibe, personality, and uniqueness of Naples. I saw some of the properties for sale and sold.

After a few rounds of designs, we narrowed in on the final choice. Here are a few highlights from the Brand Book.

Our second task was to design a version of this brand that could be used for transgender community awareness.

Adding in the twist of the rainbow into the sunset was our design idea to give tribute to the LGBTQ community.
