The Centennial Condos

Logo / Brand Identity / Web

The Centennial is a new high-end condo development currently taking shape in downtown Lincoln, NE. Following the architectural design, which incorporates the existing vacant 1930s YWCA building, branding for the project seamlessly combines historic and modern elements to create a classic yet approachable brand. The wordmark and monogram pull from Deco and prohibition-era styling, while a soft luxe color and font palette and delicate diamond icon help ground the identity in a modern aesthetic. A custom-built website utilizes simple yet impactful interactions and styling to highlight—and hopefully sell—the Centennial's unique personality.

This project is in-progress.

The balance of historic and modern influence within the brand has yielded unexpected spacial design solutions, including proposed murals based on two long-forgotten paintings by Nebraska artist Elizabeth Dolan, discovered hanging in the vacant building.
