How We Rebranded Crawford Investments

Crawford Investments had built a strong reputation over the years — but their brand no longer reflected who they had become. We were brought in to reimagine their visual identity from the ground up, creating a brand presence worthy of their track record.

Brand Identity

Elevating Crawford’s visual identity to match its true caliber

Crawford Investments had outgrown their existing brand. Their investment philosophy — patient, research-driven, built for the long run — wasn't coming through in their visual presence. We worked closely with the Crawford team to retire the old identity and replace it with something that truly reflects the firm they are today: website, logo, and all supporting collateral including business cards, signature blocks, and video backgrounds.

Explorations

We narrowed our exploration to four directions, each taking a different approach to expressing Crawford's evolved identity. A typographic wordmark using the full Crawford name — authoritative, legible, and built to scale across applications A refined pairing of mark and typeface designed to signal institutional credibility A bold geometric approach exploring the "C" as a standalone brand symbol A hybrid direction combining form and typography to balance approachability with authority

All concepts were presented first in monochrome — stripping out color so the Crawford team could evaluate structure and form on their own terms. Color palettes and real-world mockups followed, grounding each direction in how it would actually live in the world.

Three exploration directions — General Sans, Rothek and AT Aero

The Winner

The new identity system performs consistently across digital platforms, print collateral, and client-facing materials — and positions the firm with the confidence and credibility their reputation has earned.
