A two-part workshop: simple and effective
Due to legal and administrative constraints, we had only a short time (a few weeks) to find a brand name and tagline that could accompany the new real estate venture of our three entrepreneurs.
The guiding principle of our search: Simplicity and effectiveness. Therefore, we opted for a workshop divided into two parts / two sessions.
- The first session involved proposing a large number of names from various origins and backgrounds. The goal was to make an initial selection of "Do & Don’t".
The objective of this first step was not to choose a specific name, but rather to identify an affinity with a universe / family / style / sound. - In the second session, we narrowed down the list of brand names.
A discussion focusing on the brand accompanied this new shortlist. Following this session, several exchanges took place, and we finally proposed a name and tagline for this new real estate brand, operating primarily in the Canton of Vaud and French-speaking Switzerland.
Monolithe - Real Estate Development
A name geared towards the future
The client brief emphasized the desire to maintain a connection with the parent brands ("Geneco - construction company" and "Pierre Étoile - real estate brokerage").
The client brief emphasized the desire to maintain a connection with the parent brands ("Geneco - construction company" and "Pierre Étoile - real estate brokerage").
To preserve this link with the history of the parent brands, we chose the name "Monolithe" for its DNA closely tied to construction (the Stone / the rock). Another reason is its mystical and futuristic aspect (like in the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" or the recent news of the Utah monolith), which aligns with a more contemporary era. This context suits the new real estate enterprise well.
Thus, we opted for a name that references tradition while evoking the future with a touch of mystery.
A baseline filled with expertise
We selected the baseline "Real Estate Development."
It effectively summarizes the company's expertise in real estate: construction + real estate development + property promotion. It also includes the essential keyword "real estate."

A name, a new Baseline, and then...
Our branding work officially materialized and concluded at that moment. Naturally, we continue to follow the evolution of the Monolith - Real Estate Development project.
We engaged in the exercise of shaping the visual identity of this brand to explore the directions we could take with this name. It's a brand and a name that we are extremely proud of!
