Brand Identity
Creative Direction

The first part of the process was to familiarize their organization and the industry in general. In contrast to a large manufacturing company, they essentially follow the processes of a job shop, where they produce bespoke items.

The brand identity was focused on their core values, which are integrity, versatility, and creativity. The colors blue, red, and white are very all-American and symbolize the blue-collar worker.

The narrative of them having a strong foundation continued with the integration of the blueprint concept. It shows how they are experienced steel artisans who plan everything first prior to execution. Being grounded in their core values is what drives their identity as a brand and processes as an organization.
