Case Study

The Aster

WEB Production TheAster

Overview

Located in Beachwood, Ohio, an upscale suburb of Cleveland, the Aster is a luxury apartment development highly sought after by up-and-coming professionals. As the property itself moved through the construction phases, the developers turned to TOKY for a brand that would mirror the stature of the neighborhood and property amenities.

RAISING EXPECTATIONs

After a site visit and in-depth demographic research, TOKY’s strategy team created the structure for a refined brand, starting with the name. Chosen for its simplicity and dual meaning, “Aster” is a genus of wildflower common to the Ohio prairie, as well as Latin for “star.” This foundation inspired the overall brand vocabulary, which incorporates the star shape and aspirational language.

ASPIRATIONAL, YET ESTABLISHED

The logotype carries on the elevated tone of the brand with engraved inline and angular serifs reflecting the shape of the star. The logo icon offers a minimalistic alternative for more subtle applications.
