For Greystar’s new 32-story residential project at 11th and Red River streets in Austin, we developed a brand position by taking cues from the project’s distinctive architecture, interiors, and nearby green spaces. Named in honor of its proximity to Waller Creek, the city-block-sized site wraps around the historic home to the Austin Symphony and is adjacent to the area’s new Waterloo Greenway, Waterloo Park, and the Moody Amphitheater.

A language of geometry and nature

The visual identity draws heavily from the materiality and forms of the interior architecture. The W monogram — in solid and inline forms — provides the distinctive feel of a hospitality experience. The soft forms of the logotype translate to handsomely detailed signage applications. A collection of geometric shapes host images and textures, all surrounded by a moody and rich color palette.
