01 The Brief

Years of experience behind them. A clipart logo in front of them. The work was there. The brand was not.

Habitat Heroes came to Trademade as a floors and painting outfit in Austin with real chops and the wrong face on the truck. Their original mark positioned them as a startup in a market where homeowners have no shortage of options.

Keep the name. Rebuild everything else. The brief, in one line.

The Approach

A.

One mark, two trades.

A logomark that protects the dual nature of the business inside a single, residential shape.

B.

A face for each trade.

Two characters: Hardy the Hero for flooring, Sunny the Sidekick for painting. One family.

C.

A system, not a logo.

A collateral kit engineered to turn every finished project into the next lead.

The System

A kit built to
turn the next
into the next.

Every piece in the Habitat Heroes kit follows the same visual and verbal system. Each item is engineered to do one job at the right point in the customer journey, from first knock to the referral text six months later.
