Solution

Vertical Motion started by completing a total rebrand with updated print work, modernized typography, new business cards, and a postcard notice to clients and business contacts announcing the new brand to the world. Following this, the Vertical Motion team created a fresh new website with a cheerful, friendly approach to wills and estates, a topic some people consider with trepidation. Finally, the content and imagery were brightened and made relevant to Underwood Gilholme’s demographics and markets.

Underwood Gilholme made a splash in their new location with a logo that took the square motif from their original identity and reinterpreted it with a modern typeface and crisp shape, broken into a deconstructed tricolour gradient. The “frame” became a recurring motif in their website and materials, wreathing their headshots and buttons.
