Overview
2 Develop Urban is an independent civil engineering consultancy dedicated to advancing people and their projects forward. As a single solution to plan, design, and deliver property and infrastructure development projects across Queensland, they needed a brand identity that matched their commitment to creating spaces where people thrive and communities flourish.
Transforming the narrative from process to progress.
Opportunity
2 Develop Urban began as a boutique firm with highly respected leadership and exceptional technical expertise, but their true purpose and regional focus remained unarticulated. The opportunity lay in identifying and expressing their authentic commitment to creating thriving communities specifically within South-East Queensland. By uncovering this purpose—rather than simply showcasing technical capabilities—we could help them establish a distinct brand presence that would resonate deeply with clients who shared their vision for sustainable regional development and advancing our state forward.
Brand Strategy
Immersion
Through extensive leadership interviews, we unearthed 2 Develop Urban's true differentiators: a profound commitment to community-focused engineering, a passion for developing South-East Queensland, and a streamlined process that advanced people and their projects forward This discovery provided the authentic foundation for a brand identity that would meaningfully connect with clients, community members, and their own team alike.

Visual Identity
Creation
With distinct equity already held in the logomark, we moved to evolve the identity rather than recreate it. We updated the wordmark while extending the colour palette, imagery and expression to better demonstrate core attributes including South-East Queensland focus and their mission of advancing people and projects forward. The comprehensive system was designed to establish immediate recognition in the marketplace while communicating the momentum, vibrancy and high-quality nature of their services.
