EQUITY — Redefining Real Estate

Mauro Santos

From Vision to Reality: Build, Test, Improve

Equity is a rising player in Dubai's real estate market founded by Emrah Yar, a visionary leader with a proven track record in the field. The company was built on ambition, expertise, and a handpicked team dedicated to his vision. From day one, their goal was clear: to stand out and redefine the industry. As the business grew rapidly, its unfinished brand identity failed to reflect its confidence, attract top-tier clients, and recruit top agents. To keep up, they decided to refine and expand their brand identity, ensuring it matched their success.

Exploring Possibilities

Through meetings, conversations, and questionnaires, we developed a moodboard that captured insights, ideas, and potential directions. This process helped both teams validate and discard early concepts while shaping a vision for the brand’s future. With a solid foundation, we explored and tested high-level concepts to gather initial feedback and refine the creative direction.

Re-shaping the form

Once the right visual direction was established, the first thing we did was to revisit the logo. Although there wasn’t nothing entirely wrong about it, we agreed that it lacked distinctiveness. Through some minor and careful adjustments, we managed to create a much more memorable and recognizable logo, largely due to the redesign of the letter 'Q' with its bespoke tail shape. We clearly saw something special and compelling in it, and in the end, it took center stage in many applications because of its uniqueness and ability to work in various sizes while remaining recognizable.

Crafting Emotions Through Texture, Color and Photography Direction

Color, textures, and photography direction played a crucial role in shaping the brand identity as a whole. A predominantly charcoal color conveyed confidence and sophistication, while the rest of the palette introduced warmth and approachability, creating a balanced visual identity.

These subtle yet intentional design elements reinforced the brand's personality, making it feel sophisticated yet grounded and inviting.

Textures were incorporated to evoke a deeper emotional connection and add a tactile dimension to the brand. Photography direction emphasized this depth by focusing on authenticity and human expression.
