Adriatic Wood

Bringing craftsmanship and quality to life

Located in New York’s oldest moulding and lumber mill, Adriatic Wood has over three decades of experience manufacturing custom mouldings and distributing over 60 different hardwood species. Our challenge, to design and develop a modern site that establishes Adriatic Wood as the leading hardwood lumber mill in the New York area.

Rebranding a New York local fixture

phase 1

Building a brand strategy

Our in-depth questionnaires allowed us to develop a keen understanding of Adriatic’s core values and metrics for success to develop an accurate brand strategy.

Materials to move forward

Routine client kickoff meetings help us ascertain mandatory design elements and solidify areas of exploration before creative development.

Construction of the creative

Once the creative brief is approved by the client, we use our launch meeting to develop creative next steps and timing of the project.

Brand building from the ground up

phase 2

To rebuild a brand identity means reexamining all areas that include design, colors, font and voice.

Colors

The old colors were dated and dull. We wanted to better match the darker blue colors of the Adriatic paired with a vibrant red.

REVISED

Fonts

Matching the historic script logo font with a modern set of typefaces was imperative to balance the connection to the company’s history while moving the brand into the future.

KEY MESSAGING

phase 3

We wanted to ensure our communication established Adriatic as a leader within the category while being clear and concise with our content and key takeaways.
