Urban [or urban living] has definitely been a buzzword in recent
years. We live + work in Fort Lauderdale, a sleepy beach town turned
sprawling urban city, and we frequently develop brands who are poised to
succeed in leading cities across the nation.
Just imagine our faces when we were approached by an upcoming mixed-use urban development in North Miami to conceptualize the project name as well as create the full brand experience. Excited, to say the least.
Since the project offers 5 main lifestyle components [Social, Professional, Recreational, Entertainment + Wellness], we saw a unique opportunity to use brand positioning, color + imagery to help visually define and identify a new take on city living. In one of the first meetings with the developers, we presented a variety of names that played on focusing on these 5 lifestyles. The name, 5 PARK, organically came out of the discussion as it highlighted the lifestyles and also the property’s close proximity to some of South Florida’s most popular nature parks. A tagline was also coined, which summed it all: The Nature of Connection.
Before we could cement the brand visuals for 5 PARK, we developed the brand’s personality and defined its core purpose.

The 5 PARK logo is a play on the 5 lifestyles that are connected to the project. A simplistic and modern mix of icon and typography aims to elevate the brand’s visual communication. The logo is simplistic and strikes as a catalyst for possibility.
Logo exploration.
The brand colors are inspired by bright, bold, and edgy photography. While black and white serve as primary colors for typography, Magenta, Violet, Turquoise, Cobalt + Orange are the primary brand colors with coordinating tones in background imagery and other material.
Each of the 5 brand color represents a 5 PARK lifestyle component: Social, Professional, Recreational, Entertainment + Wellness.
The end product for this stage with 5 PARK was the delivery of the Brand Guidelines. What we usually call around the studio ‘the brand book’, the PDF shows the ins and outs of the brand voice, brand usage, and visual direction. The guidelines also delve into the suggested photography art direction from product shots to editorial.
We can’t wait to start designing the rest of the brand deliverables.

Millennials, textures, style, and the connection to nature inspire the
overall 5 PARK brand. The moodboard we put together for the brand is
sleek, modern, bold. The combination of natural textures and vivid
elements in design create a contemporary and urban aesthetic.
