/ OBJECTIVE

Like most start-ups, AEC Advisors used minimal viable branding for its first few years. But the firm has ambitious plans and needed a re-brand to communicate where they are headed, not where they’ve been.

LecoursDesign was hired because we are branding and AEC industry experts; Our clients are also AEC Advisors clients.

/ IDEA

Architecture, Engineering, Construction, or Consulting is often written A/E/C. The new logo is a play on this. The angle up and to the right is also a graphical reference of adding financial value (something that AEC Advisors do).
