Crafting UrbanKey Properties’ Brand Image
Client Background and Brief
Founded in Seattle's dynamic core, UrbanKey Properties emerged in 2015 through the collaborative vision of real estate expert Sophia Chen and tech entrepreneur Michael Jonas. They aspired to revolutionize the home-finding experience with transparency and technology. Approached to create a brand identity that reflects their innovative and sustainable approach, I was tasked to capture the essence of modern, technology-forward urban living in their visual representation.

Its clean, sans-serif typography and stylized essential design represent the company’s commitment to unlocking new opportunities in urban real estate. The logo's straightforward elegance resonates with the clarity and efficiency that UrbanKey provides in the real estate process.
Sophisticated and Contemporary
The color palette for UrbanKey Properties is curated to exude sophistication and contemporary appeal. It comprises a dark, almost charcoal grey (#333740), representing solidity and reliability, and pure white (#FFFFFF) to bring clarity and contrast. An intermediate grey (#A8B0B9) bridges the spectrum, offering versatility, while a deep blue (#2271AA) adds a professional yet inviting touch. The palette is grounded with a rich green (#00664B), symbolizing growth and the company’s dedication to sustainable living.
A Symbol of Innovation and Style
The branding for UrbanKey Properties was strategically crafted to position them as a leader in the technology-driven real estate market. Combining a clean logo, a sophisticated color palette, and purposeful typography successfully conveys their unique offering: intelligent, sustainable, and stylish urban living solutions. My graphic design expertise was instrumental in translating their brand values into a solid visual identity, satisfying all their branding needs, and ensuring their appeal to a diverse, tech-oriented clientele.

Nestled in Springfield, Illinois, Griddle & Graze began in 2010 as the embodiment of Mike and Sarah Johnson's dream—a diner that channels the warmth of their kitchen.
