The brief
What we did.
LegacyFirst is a vertically integrated investment management and commercial real estate services firm specializing in helping their clients and partners transform commercial real estate into engines of economic prosperity. This is our fifth re-brand for LegacyFirst founder Landon Taylor. Starting with the crafting of the positioning strategy and messaging framework, we quickly moved to developing a new logo, tagline, brand voice and website. The result is a brand as unique as the company itself.
This direction expresses LegacyFirst's core tension: enduring strength shaped by human perseverance. The visual language is bold, crisp and confident—anchored by a palette of black, white, charcoal, and gold—yet softened by light, texture, and space.


What the client said
