BRAND STYLE Teakwood Landscaping 4
BRAND RATIONALE Teakwood Landscaping 6

The Teakwood Landscaping brand appeals to wealthy women that have


properties in tropical locations. When it comes to creating the outdoor space
they’ve been dreaming of, they lack the knowledge and skill to make it happen.
Teakwood Landscaping can help.

The brand’s high end yet personable style reflects the luxury, and authenticty
behind Teakwood Landscaping. The custom logo and graphic elements set the
brand apart and speak to the story and values that make Teakwood Landscaping
so special.
BRAND RATIONALE Teakwood Landscaping 8

Behind the Brand Mark


The Brand Mark was created by bringing together an
uppercase T and an upside-down uppercase L. When
this connection was made, it also resembles a table
to represent the outdoor space that brings family,
friends, and communities together.

Behind the O's


The two uppercase O’s coming together represents the
the pairing of the home/hotel and landscape. Your
landscape is an extension of your home/hotel. They
should be two parts working together.

Behind the Font


The Sans-Serif font was chosen to portray a clean yet
high-end feel.
BRAND RATIONALE Teakwood Landscaping 9

Inside the Mark


The brand mark was created by taking the first initials of Teakwood
Landscaping (the uppercase T and uppercase L) and putting them together.
Putting the letters together represents a table where friends and family can
gather around and find community, reflection, and tranquility.
BRAND RATIONALE Teakwood Landscaping 10

The Submarks
The submarks visually show the 3 pillars of finding community, reflection, and tranquility.

The first submark allows you to have your company name with the submark. This is great if
you need both assets in a small environment such as a wax stamp or social profile picture.

The second submark includes the date Teakwoood Landscaping was established. This is a great
way to build credibility with your audience by showing them how long you’ve been in business.

As mentioned above, the third submark represents what a Teakwood Landscaping job will
provide - community, reflection, and tranquility

The rest of the submarks are decorative design assets that can be used to highlight the pillars of
your brand

USAGE GUIDELINES Teakwood Landscaping 20

General Usage
TL brand elements should not be altered in any way from the
form in which they’re received and should only be used in
the brand colors provided. When possible, pair the logo and
identity with the designated brand colors and typefaces, and
always maintain strong contrast between brand elements and
the background color to ensure legibility.

WITH COLOR

Your logos should primarily appear in Moss on Sand or Sage


backgrounds. If a darker background is neccessary, use the Moss
or Charcoal color with the logo in Sand.

OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS

The black version of your logo should only be used when it’s
required for official black-and-white documents. Otherwise, the
color versions of your logo should be used.
USAGE GUIDELINES Teakwood Landscaping 21

General Usage
PILLAR SUBMARKS

When referring to the 3 pillars of your brand (at the same time),
ensure each pillar is in their correct color. If you are referring to
a pillar by itself, ensure to use the correct color as displayed on
the Brand Specs - Submarks page. Pillar submarks can be used
on top of dark imagery and as accent peices on stationary
USAGE GUIDELINES Teakwood Landscaping 22

With Photography
Most often, TL logos and taglines should be used Sand over
dark photography and in Moss over light photo areas.

Always ensure there is enough contrast between the branding


and background and that there’s sufficient negative space in the
photo composition for the brand elements to stand out and be
legible.
