Case study
One flooring brand customers could recognize in every showroom.
A flooring retailer grew through acquisitions but still operated under four legacy identities — confusing customers and diluting ad spend. We delivered a unified rebrand: new mark, showroom signage system, vehicle wraps, and a brand book that let each location ship on-brand marketing without head-office bottlenecks.
Client: Regional flooring showroom chain
The challenge
Where they started
Each acquired store used different logos, color palettes, and taglines on trucks, yard signs, and Google Business Profiles. National ad campaigns pointed to a website that still featured legacy sub-brand marks. Internal teams had no rules for co-branding manufacturer partners on promotional materials.
- Four distinct visual identities across showroom signage and vehicle fleets
- Website and GBP listings showed conflicting business names and logos
- Sales teams created flyers in Word with off-brand fonts and stretched logos
- Manufacturer co-op ads required brand lockups that didn't exist in any standard format
- No documented voice or photography direction for room inspiration content
