(re)branding
The Project
August is an active holding company with a diverse portfolio ranging from manufacturing and wholesale to retail and real estate. Unique in its field, August works closely with its companies to ensure sustained growth long after acquisition. As a result, they required a strong visual identity that conveys dependability, integrity, and commitment.
These designs were created on a sub-contract basis for Concerto Marketing, who were responsible for project management, brand strategy, and art direction.
Old Logo
New Logo
The identity
August’s existing brand was bright and dynamic, but they needed a new visual identity with more gravitas. A rich ruby was selected as the primary brand colour, evoking themes of tradition, prosperity, and passion.
The existing logo type treatment was retained, but paired with a new brand mark – a stylized infinity sign that promises ongoing growth and profitability.
The Deliverables
In addition to a new logo and brand guide, designs were created for business cards, presentation folders, and brochures. The August website was also redesigned to incorporate beautiful engaging photos and dynamic, multi-layered layouts.
