In today's eco-conscious market, sustainable design isn't just a trend—it's a powerful driver of business growth. At Propely, we recently had the opportunity to bring this principle to life through our work with Econ, a pioneering company in solar energy panels and installation services.

The Econ Challenge:

Econ came to us with a vision: to revolutionize sustainable energy. They needed a brand identity that would embody innovation, reliability, and environmental responsibility. Our challenge was to translate these values into a visual language that would resonate with environmentally aware consumers and businesses alike.


Our Approach:

1.⁠ ⁠Color Palette: We chose a yellow as the primary color, symbolizing the sun, balanced with clean whites and grays for a modern, tech-forward feel.

2.⁠ ⁠Logo Design: The logo is a minimalistic representation of the sun, making it clean and memorable at the same time.

3.⁠ ⁠Typography: We selected a crisp, sans-serif font that conveyed clarity and efficiency—key attributes in the renewable energy sector.

4.⁠ ⁠Imagery: We curated a photo library featuring sleek solar installations in diverse settings, showcasing the versatility and aesthetic appeal of Econ's products.


The Impact:

Post-launch, Econ reported a 30% increase in website inquiries. The new brand identity helped position Econ as a thought leader in sustainable energy, opening doors to partnerships with eco-conscious businesses and municipalities.


Key Takeaways:

1.⁠ ⁠Authenticity is key: Your sustainable design should reflect genuine commitment to environmental values.

2.⁠ ⁠Balance innovation with accessibility: While showcasing cutting-edge technology, ensure your design remains approachable to a broad audience.

3.⁠ ⁠Tell a story: Use your design elements to narrate the journey towards a sustainable future.


Conclusion:

The Econ project demonstrates that when done right, sustainable design can be a powerful catalyst for business growth. It's not just about looking good—it's about creating a visual identity that resonates with values, inspires action, and drives meaningful change.
