A visual identity for home inspection company, Coastal Life Home Inspections

Coastal Life Home Inspections

Project

Coastal Life Home Inspections was a home inspection company that offers complete residential inspection services in DelMar, Delaware. The company changed its name to LH Home Inspections which I created a new visual identity for in 2022.

Coastal Life Home Inspections was founded in 2022 and was looking to create a visual identity for the company. These brand elements included logo, color palette, typography, business cards and a website.

During the deep-drive conversation with the client, we went through the brand worksheet with questions so we had the same understanding of the company background, goals, personality and competitors. The client was easy to work with and we were able to finalize the logo, color palette, typography and website in the first round of design. In the second round, we got the business cards printed and launched a website.

Logo

The logo is the combination of a logomark and a logotype. The logomark could be used separately as a shorter version of the logo for an easily recognizable symbol.
