Charleston/Columbia/
“Our expert advice leads the commercial real estate industry into the future and how we represent ourselves reaffirms our position as market leaders and supports business growth,” said John W. Folsom, President and CEO of Colliers | South Carolina. “The changes we’re introducing today reinforces our commitment to accelerating the success of our clients and shapes our industry presence.”
“The Colliers brand is more than our name – it’s our enterprising culture, mission and values,” continued Folsom. “It’s how we interact every day with our commercial real estate clients and how we represent ourselves visually. This is a significant milestone for our business as we strengthen our presence within the industry and broaden our public profile. Our changes are designed to modernize our iconic brand, maximizing our established equity.”
With the long-standing tagline “accelerating success” at the forefront of Colliers business decisions, the rebranding builds upon Colliers’ culture that prides itself on acting with agility, championing new ways to make quick and informed decisions, thinking differently, and bringing passion to work.
Key changes to the visual identity as part of the refresh include:
- Updated logo design – The most critical and recognizable element of the Colliers brand. The word “international” has been removed to give more prominence for the Colliers wordmark within the box, allowing for greater legibility especially for digital and small formats.
- Colliers gets bluer – The color palette is updated to be bold, saturated and feature energetic shades that align with the company’s passionate and enterprising culture. The colors also work well in digital settings which cater to vibrant colors.
- New typography – The new typography communicates a clean, approachable and confident brand.
- Energized and modern design elements – The refresh brings a suite of new design elements, including more prominent use of the Colliers tagline (“accelerating success”), new blocks and keyline design treatments and an updated library of photography and imagery.
Switching to the new visual identity online will be Colliers’ top priority, followed by launching updated print materials and new signage.
