Its current concept stands out thanks to highly competitive fees and a 360\u00b0 service offer. Following a first contact at the agency, the buyer is accompanied through all the key stages of his purchase via the online application SKAAL.
\nThe services are presented in the form of packages that range from the estimate to brokerage support, from carrying out diagnostics to finding a tradesman or a professional photographer, to home staging advice and finding a notary.<\/p>\n
For this brand new service in the property market, we assisted SKAAL in the creation of its brand name, visual identity and its tagline. It was essential to maintain the warm image of a conventional real estate agency in this online service offering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=\"45178\" img_size=\"full\" alignment=\"center\"][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"45132,45136,45180,45140,45142\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n
SKAAL comes from the Danish \"Sk\u00e5l\". It is a celebratory exclamation said while toasting and means \"Cheers!\".
\nThis reference to the Scandinavian region is not superficial. Countries in this region are famous for their interior design and furniture. This exotic connotation creates a \"cosy cocoon\" atmosphere and by extension a feeling of well-being that everyone is looking for in their home.
\nThe invigorating \"-SK-\" sound is a testament to the dynamic qualities of the service.
\nThe central double \"AA\" forces an articulation that requires a wide opening of the mouth when pronouncing it. This evokes a feeling of greatness and openness.
\nThe name also refers to the French expression \"se caler\" \u2014 meaning \u2018to set up\/to settle in comfortably\u2019. \u2018On se cale\u2019 an appointment to sell or buy real estate just as comfortably as one may \u2018se cale\u2019 on the couch to watch a show.<\/p>\n
To say \"SKAAL\" is to wish for good things.
\nIt is reminiscent of the sound of glasses clinking to celebrate a successful real estate deal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"45144,45146,45148,45150,45152,45154,45156\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n
The emblem of the brand was built around the initial \"S\" of \"SKAAL\". Simultaneously typographic and pictographic, the design of the letter represents a path that fluidly transforms itself into a silhouette of a house. This visual discovery allowed us to cleverly represent SKAAL\u2019s brand vision: Allowing you to find the house of your dreams as easily as possible and without a hitch.
\nThe symbol is completed with an enclosing circle that asserts the logotype as a mark of quality. The form of this symbol allows it to be a distinctive watermark that can be used on the photographs of the property listings put online. This symbol is also highly visible on outdoor signage, which is an asset for communicating the brand on \u2018for sale\u2019 signs used in real estate.<\/p>\n
The word mark is custom-designed and reinforces the \u2018homely\u2019 spirit of the brand.
\nThe letters mix straight lines and rounded shapes. This design illustrates the balance between a reassuring rationalism and a roundness that evokes comfort, just like the comfort of cozy home furniture.
\nThe accompanying typefaces in the brand guidelines are Open Sans and Barlow. Specially designed for screen display, they meet the technical needs of a 100% digital project where the application interface is at the heart of the customer experience.<\/p>\n
The brand territory is rounded off with an energetic and refined color palette that combines
\nan intense red with the softness of a pastel blue and a beige tone for a humanist touch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=\"image_grid\" images=\"45158,45160,45162,45164,45166\" img_size=\"full\" onclick=\"\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text]\n
The brand signature \"Service Immobilier 360\u00b0\" clearly explains SKAAL's activity while the name conveys a state of mind, a feeling. This descriptive signature is a concrete statement of the complete range of services offered by the agency: a 360 degree accompaniment!
\nBy taking advantage of its formatting, we used the degree symbol in \u2018360\u00b0\u2019 and transformed it into the round emblem of the brand thereby signing off on the tagline when it\u2019s the only element on screen.<\/p>\n
Conceived for the digital environment, SKAAL's visual identity is well adapted to the current times where every client wants to personalize and carry out their real estate ventures in a few clicks on their smartphone.
