General Comments
The new marks and logo's makeover moves the
Professionals branding to dynamic, forward-moving,
exciting, positive and approachable, while retaining the
clean crisp finish needed to communicate credibility and
professionalism.
As part of the consideration relevant to the brand and
how it relates to today’s market, with a focus on a
potential large female impact in sales, OZ SOLUTIONS
suggested a refinement or enhancement of the existing
logo (name, underline and star inclusive) be considered.
The suggestion was on the basis of reflecting the *image
Professionals wishes to have in the marketplace now and
in the future and to reflect the elements that customers
have indicated via market research that they desire (and
demand) in a real estate or property company of choice.
* (approachable, credible, friendly, honest, trustworthy,
caring, great communicators, energetic, dynamic, leaders
in the field of property, helpful, integrity, informed, fun,
knowledgeable, and outstanding service providers)
Introduces an impressive and dynamic energy and sense of
movement, indicative of a forward-moving intelligent
company. Emphasising this approachable 'feminine'
element enhances the overall company appeal to women,
where significant buying power lies; an issue that cannot
be ignored with recognised increases in the trend toward
young women purchasing properties prior to relationships,
not to mention the published statistic that over 90% of
purchases in Australia are either made or influenced by
women. Where possible, the general 'swing' of each piece
ends with an upward motion; on most items this is
achieved with the inverted curve, on others with the red
tag line lifting the attention from the coloured line.
Introducing the fresh and new colours indicates variety in
the company's services/fields/capabilities/locations. The
colours are also used to denote specific 'profit centres': red
is left as the professionals main colour, therefore
encompasses everything; yellow designates general
residential properties; green is a variable offer relevant to
the local market focus eg could be rental, rural,
commercial properties etc; while blue indicates prestige
properties. This meaning is carried through window shells,
building design, outdoor signage and advertising layout,
with the public being educated where relevant. The
coloured line is repeated at the base of each item, finishing
the design off with a vivifying touch.
The new font is contemporary, personal (suggesting a high
quality of personal service), and full of energy. It is unique
to Professionals who own this font outright.
Keeping the company image clean and smart, the support
typeface is highly legible at all sizes, friendly, and
professional. Again the font is unique to Professionals.
The star has been relaxed to reflect the elements that
needed to be enhanced in the positioning identity based
on customer research results. These elements include -
approachable, personal, trustworthy, caring, credible,
professional, client/people focussed, a little hip & funky in
style, professional, forward thinking leaders, dynamic,
outstanding service providers. The star element has,
however, been retained in a friendly freehand style.
ColoursThe five points of the star possess the colours of the brand
- red, blue, yellow, green, and black. As per the coloured
line, introducing the colours prevents the red from
becoming too overwhelming, while indicating variety in
the company's services/fields/capabilities/locations.
LeadershipOnce a bastion of authoritarianism and rigid systems, and
having floundered through the 90s, leadership is gaining
ground in the form of global leadership with consideration
given to the outcomes of all decisions made by a
company. These considerations include impact on the
people of the company (management, staff, and
contractors), the people of the community (local and
global), the environment, health issues, and emotional
issues. We hear the terms corporate responsibility,
sustainable development, economic and ecological
sustainability, socially and environmentally friendly, on a
regular basis and these form part of the whole, the
wholistic and virtuous leader of our future.
As leaders in the property field, Professionals is choosing to
make a mark that will impact in the property industry and
the community at large. It intends to reflect that impact
within its ranks in the form of a Professionals culture that
will ensure its place as a leader in the field, working
towards environmental operational systems, and
addressing all issues relevant to corporate responsibility on
an ongoing basis. Professionals is real people working in
real property.

This initiative is a very exciting one for all in the Professionals
family, for the property world, and for its clients. It's creating
new visual and brand benchmarks and positions to lead
from.
To maximise the opportunity of this initiative beyond a
collection of facade, signage and stationery collateral,
however, a brand integration programme is the
recommended solution. This programme should include
listing techniques, print media, web material, etechnology,
and other currently used or introduced mediums. This
requires planning to ensure that your market understands
your vision, your marketing approach, and why
Professionals is the property group of choice for their
property dream. Helping your market to understand that
Professionals is residential, rental, rural, commercial,
investment, or any other type of property listing you pursue,
is integral to this approach. Sharing the story and making
strong use of the various brand colours is a key aspect of
achieving this and marketing your point of difference.
Over and above the brand integration in a physical and
marketing sense, it's important to implement a programme
for your people to share the vision and develop the culture
that will be the foundation upon which the group will grow
and lead the property world. In very plain terms, if a pretty
cover is created but nothing internally is enhanced, then
eventually you will simply have exactly the same position as
currently exists but it will have a pretty cover. There is not a
lot of value or good business sense in that approach as it
does not or will not maximise return on investment for the
individual or the group.
A part of the new approach is sharing that the Professionals
is passionate about its people and is instigating a culture of
growth relevant to Professionals people and Professionals
clients in addition to broadening the group's vision to
include further social, environmental and economical
sustainability considerations - a corporate responsibility.
Professionals welcomes you to its new look and direction as
Industry articles and publications continue to state that the essence of a brand is all in how the market perceives it – that is the individual's experience with it and perception of it
based on their individual take on the world.
"A new star is born"
It is client focussed. It possesses integrity. It is caring,
trustworthy, dynamic, energetic, knowledgeable and it provides
outstanding customer service with excellent communication.
Professionals is the leader in its field and is leading edge in its
approach.
Australian futurist, *Peter Ellyard, in his publication "Ideas for the
New Millennium", makes a very apt statement relevant to the
chosen positioning of Professionals in their new look. In Australia
the emphasis in corporate thinking is on problem centred
strategies and a probable future. This means that planning
focuses on realising outcomes which are more tolerant: the
outcome is likely to be planned mediocrity not magnificence.’
In planning a reworked mark for their brand, Professionals are
choosing magnificence, not mediocrity via which they would
remain to look and/or be like others in their field. Professionals
plans to lead.
* Peter Ellyard, a futurist and strategic analyst, is Adjunct Professor of Intergenerational Strategies at the University of Queensland and a fellow of the Australian College of Education. He has been a senior adviser to the United Nations system for over twenty years. Formerly Executive Director of the Australian Commission for the Future, he is now Executive Director of Preferred Futures Pty Ltd and Chairman of the Universal Greening Group.
Feng ShuiLeading international speakers at Euroshop recently shared with
the world five elements that were going to be winners in all
fields for some time and they included Feng Shui, the art of living
in harmony. Feng Shui is a very complex artform and science
with its origins steeped in Chinese tradition and culture. It is now
widely recognised and accepted in the Western world and is said
to be a must do in work, play, and life in general for all in the
future.
One of the aspects of Feng Shui is the use of colour and we have
simply applied the Feng Shui colour meanings and elements to
this brand to determine impact.
The key Feng Shui elements are Fire, Earth, Wood, Water and
Metal and the respective representative colours are red, yellow,
green, blue and black for Water, and white for Metal. The lack
of dominance of any of these colours in the new look has
achieved a balance of all elements and this is perceived to be a
good result.
Another aspect of Feng Shui is the use of curves, in particular
upward curves, as a positive influence on energy (chi) in our
environments and provides good Feng Shui. The introduction of
the curves in the design and the upward movement at the end
of stationery elements including the star curves was as a result of
this consideration.

Important information regarding screen printing of signs
Due to the restrictions of screen printing capability, all signs printed by this method need to use a slightly modified version of the Professionals logo. Modified template files have been supplied on the disc with this manual, however the alterations are also specified below.
The star in the standard logo consist of two strengths of each colour. In the modified version, the lighter strengths have been brought up to full strength, so that there is only one strength of each colour.
Screen print versions of template files can be found on the disc in the Screen Printing directory within the Signage & Stickers directory.
For signs printed digitally, use the standard file and logo version.

AwningOverviewThe awning has various applied applications and functions:a)b)c)
d)
e)
f)
Music - IMPORTANTThe introduction of background music in the awning will greatly assist in maximising dwell time for those reviewing your window displays. This is a 'must have' feature that is strongly recommended as it gives you a real point of difference, a "Professionals" signature item! Suggest the music installation also be carried through into your reception area so that it assists with a natural transition from outside to in for your clients.
MaterialThe awning material is intended to have a clean, hi-tec look with consistency of colour between stores. The awning material could vary based on budget constraints, but still retain a contextual consistency between stores.

b)c)d)
MaterialThis will be supplied and fitted by a signage/glazingcompany in a measure, supply and fit deal.•
Control of scale and delineate the area of retail sale.Providing a customer comfort zone.Introduction of colour and clean, fresh and modern finish translatable between locations.In locations where there is no awning providing shading and shelter to the main advertising zone.Establish a readily identifiable street level feature exclusive of logos and names.Provide structure for the ready installation of soffit lighting, speakers etc.
Maximum: Alpolic, prefinished aluminum composite monolithic cladding, concealed fixings, expressed joints, able to be refabricated and shipped to site if required in regional locations.Minimum: Hardi D3-1000, sheet product, can be prefinished with expressed fixings or painted in situ with concealed fixings, expressed joints.
The awning will vary in form and extent depending on thelocation and features of the existing building.In the situation where there is an existing footpath or shopfront awning the proposed awning form adopted wouldbe approximately a 150mm deep x 1500mm widebulkhead. The exact size would largely depend on soffitclearance, and existing window head height. The extentwould generally encompass that zone proposed forproduct display and the entry.In the situation where there is no awning to the shop frontone should be constructed. Structural input would berequired and vary depending on the existing building.
Development and/or building approval would be requiredfor this application. The resulting awning form would beapproximately 250mm deep x 1500mm wide. The extentwould generally encompass that zone proposed forproduct display and the entry. The awning would providesun and rain protection to the shopfront and potentiallyhave an integrated box gutter draining to the ground.
Reduction of scale and change of texture and colourrelative to the new entry awning.Identification of entry to the shop.Housing for lighting or footpath projection.Mimicry of the curved form in the new graphics
Minimum: 10mm curved mild steel sheet approximately1500mm wide x 1000mm deep supported on variablelength 12mm booker rod within a 20mm diameter tubespacer. The right hand end would be mounted higher thanthe left hand end. The curved element will have a logolaser cut into it through which a light logo could beprojected onto the footpath or entry landing. Finish wouldbe gloss powder coating.
The curved element would sit over the main entry door tothe shop.Mounting height would be dependant upon theclearances available, but would be at a height out ofconvenient human reach, approximately 2700mm fromthe footpath.In the instance where the entry door is recessed into theshop front the awning will vary in form and extentdepending on the location and features of the existingbuilding.
Focusing of the sales impact area to that readily visible by astanding adult.Screening of extraneous display structure within store.Addition of colour (red) into the shopfront facade.Mimicry of the curved form in the new graphics.
Minimum: 3M coloured decal applied to the interior of theshopfront.

The decal installation would occur throughout the entireshopfront, generally but not limited to the shopfront usedto display stock.The height and extent of the decals would be largelydependant on the existing shopfront arrangement.Generally, the decal should be used to frame the majorretail display area (the "Buy Zone"), between approximately 900mm and 2200mm.
Maintain the current corporate logo identity in a new, exciting and modern way.
The logo is intended to be the recognizable image of the Professionals group. The use of the logo on the building should be minimal, in locations offering the most obvious visual presence in both day and night conditions. Generally the logo will be located to the left of the word 'Professionals' and appear on parapets, awning facades, shop front bulkheads, site or tower signs.In general the logo will be in say three standard sizes. Proportion and visibility of the surface to receive the logo will dictate the size of logo utilized.
Adds a modern dynamic to an under utilized external facade which would change regularly.The photography used in the banners would need to be very striking, almost artistic.The banners may be panelised or one image. There would be minimal text in the image.
Minimum: stretched vinyl signage over a permanent aluminum frame work erected on the building. External night lighting would enhance the potential of same.Maximum: Optionally the entire sign could be discreetly backlit to allow the night time viewing of the images in much the same way as a transparency is viewed.
The use of this element is contingent upon the availability of an accessible, visible area to erect it.The general configuration would be vertically mounted, say four 900mm squares, or a portion of this.The use would be subject to local council signage regulations.The back lighting of the vinyl signs would be optional.The images used will be standard lifestyle images or high quality images of a product.
