“The biggest challenge for this project early on was creating a new brand with the intention of preserving the legacies of both a well-established local company, Coley Electric, and the former family company of Mrs. Shanks’ father, White Star Inc.–all the while balancing the new brand’s appeal to their existing commercial accounts and new homeowners.
After our initial discovery meeting with Brad and Kimsey Shanks, we researched trends within their industry and from other companies that utilize a white star as a motif, to make sure their new brand fit within their industry while also standing out from the competition. We generated four logo concepts, each with a unique voice. The Shanks chose a concept that we refined to a logo that best fit their intention.”
