Leaders in building design and interior design, BHDP wants to be competitive in a variety of different spaces. They also leverage the culture and the specific workflow of companies to achieve the best workplace design. They advise their clients on a multitude of services, and their portfolio changes constantly to accommodate industry and market trends. It is often the case that the broader your business model, the more neutral your identity and identity system should be. We conceived the BHDP identity system as a branching tree. Logo and tag line operate at the trunk level, with their website and broad brushstroke communications at the limb level. Finally, specific job documents and proposals are at the leaf-level.
In concepting BHDP Architecture’s new brand identity, we built an identity system where each piece had a specific function. Functions like: demonstrative, emotional, informative, specific, and universal all needed to be represented. These cues were created for the final consumers, but also for the future authors.
The strength and flexibility of this identity system, allows BHDP to customize their communications to fit specific needs. They can “Build a Brochure” or “Build a Presentation” for each client, or “Build a Document” for each submission.

Our Brand Guidelines, or Brand Platforms, ensure that each opportunity is meaningful and effective.

We’ll help guide you on not only how your brand talks, but how it looks as well.
