Corporate Rebranding for Commercial Landscape Company

Not just a new logo

Corporate Brand Expansion through a Redesigned Brand System

From humble beginnings in 1984, as a family owned business, Gothic has focused on creating attractive outdoor spaces that enhance the aesthetic appeal of commercial properties while also considering functionality, sustainability, and environmental factors.

With the growth of the company and expansion from California to Nevada and Arizona, Gothic needed to evolve their brand positioning and visually define their brand. Magnetic underwent a full brand audit and then helped the company define their positioning and communication strategy, while our studio reimagined their visual identity.

Creative User Experience Assets

Corporate Website Design and Development with Creative UX

Considering Gothic’s updated branding, they also needed their site to better reflect their new direction. Building on the logo refresh, brand colors and new fonts, the visual design of the site needed to excite and educate visitors by clearly defining their service offering. Organic plant shadows on light backgrounds and use of bold colors created a nice balance of visuals. Custom photography would help immerse visitors into the environments that Gothic designs and maintains.

Typography, Color, and Design Elements

Creative Brand Exploration

MAGNETIC started with creative exploration, assembling moodboards and style tiles to imagine what the look and feel of the Gothic brand could be. We explored typography, color and web design elements to define how these would all come together to create a look that represented the Gothic brand.

Using Imagery to Communicate Brand

Creative Direction and Production of Branded Photography Portfolio

Gothic needed portfolio brand imagery which immediately communicates their design style, service offering and commitment to quality. MAGNETIC developed the photography direction, then shot and directed photoshoots capturing a mix of architectural, landscape, and lifestyle photography. Use of natural light and a subtle color grade defined the “look” for their portfolio.
