/ 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).

/ CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

“LecoursDesign did our rebranding, website, and office renovation design. We could not be happier. David is the kind of person who really gets to know his clients and puts together branding options that speak to your firm’s culture. The initial process of learning who we were, and the audit he did of our clients, was the most valuable part. We learned more about what we need to do to achieve our goals than we anticipated.”
