Overview
A comprehensive brand identity journey in Huntsville’s Midcity District.
Metronome is the embodiment of a fully realized brand identity project that went from naming, logo, and brand marks, to campaign expansion, messaging, and collateral design. It’s the first of many projects we’ve been fortunate to develop in Huntsville’s breakout new destination—the Midcity District.
The brand targets established professionals in the area who desire a stylish apartment in a vibrant central core. Metronome delivers on all levels, with impeccable features paired with walkable access to shopping, dining, as well as world-class arts and music venues. Our brand campaign pulled from local influences, resulting in a modern-meets-industrial aesthetic. The name itself is visually interesting, audibly melodic, and symbolically relevant for an apartment community in the epicenter of a musical mecca.
The mechanics of the metronome itself… the gears, the pendulum, the movement… it becomes the “beating heart” of Midcity, where residents can find their rhythm in a community brought to life by music, culture, and the arts. Metronome is “the instrument.” MidCity is “the stage.”
