Eighth Quarter Real Estate

Rebranding | Logo Design | Print Collateral

Project overview

Existing Real Estate company J&S Real Estate came to us looking for a rebrand. Joanna and Dina, Directors of J&S, wanted their new company to convey a contemporary and luxurious look and feel.

We started from the ground up, first renaming the company. As a team, we workshopped ideas that represented the brand aesthetic Joanna and Dina wanted to convey, and produce a name that was unique, memorable and had all associated elements - website, social media handles - available.

With brand new company name 'Eighth Quarter' confirmed, we moved to creating a bespoke logo and icon design, brand typography and colour palette.

We maintain an ongoing relationship with Eighth Quarter, producing business collateral, digital and print assets - including luxe foiled, textured business cards, presentation document folders, staff name badges, real estate flags, open for inspection A-frames and foiled letterhead.

The first step to rebranding was create a company name that was meaningful and represented the look and feel of the new company brand.

Whilst workshopping, we thought about what we wanted to evoke with the company name. We considered the origins of the company, the meaning behind words and importantly – considered the availability of the business name registration, domain and social media platforms.

In several Asian languages, the word for eight sounds very similar to words meaning “wealth” and “prosperity”, evoking feelings of good fortune to the search for a new home. Quarter references traditional living quarters – the area of your town or city you call your own. Mathematically, Eight Quarters equals two wholes – a nod to original company founding duo Joanna and Dina of J&S Real Estate.

As a bonus, when the letters E and Q are put together, they resemble a key. Perfect for a real estate company.

Brand name in place, we developed a logo and symbol to represent the company, and showcase this was a luxury, contemporary brand.

The logo icon is a combination of the letters E and Q, which create the shape of a key – a nod to the Real Estate industry they represent.

Our role – to select a colour palette and brand fonts to represent security, style and luxury.

Branding: Before

With the name, logo, typography and colour palette in place, we set to bringing print collateral to the table. We produced business cards on a nice thick, textured stock and added gold foil detailing, continuing the story of a premium company.

We provide ongoing support with digital and print items. Luxe foiled, textured business cards, presentation document folders, staff name badges, real estate flags, open for inspection A-frames and foiled letterhead.

How to add an HTML signature file in Outlook 2013

So you’re staring at your fancy new HTML email signature and wondering how on earth to install it to Microsoft Outlook. Well, we’re here to help.

Frustratingly Microsoft has made it complicated if you want to use a custom html email signature in Outlook 2013. Fortunately, we have you covered. Here’s the step-by-step process helping you install your fancy new signature.

Open up your File Explorer (Windows Key + E).

Double click on your hard drive (Usually OS (C:) for most users).

Click on the View tab at the top.

At the top-right, click on Options, then select “Change Folder and Search Options”.

The Folder Options dialog box should have popped up. Click on the View Tab.

Mark the option that says “Show hidden files, folders, and drives”.

Make sure the option that says “Hide extensions for known file types” in unchecked.

Hit the Apply button, then hit Ok.

Make sure you still have the File Explorer open on your hard drive. (Windows Key + E then open C:).

Navigate to Users/[Your User Name]/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Signatures.

Drop your .htm signature file into this folder.

If your HTML file ends with the file extension .html then it needs to be changed to .htm. Right-click on your HTML file and select Rename, then change the file extension to .htm

Open Outlook 2013. If you already had Outlook running you may need to close it and re-open.

Click on File, then Options, then Mail, then click on the Signatures button.

You should see your new signature file in the list in the “Select signatures to edit” box.

The name of the signature will be the same as your HTML file name. Your signature may not look correct in the preview area, but do not worry! This is perfectly normal so don’t try to make any alterations.

Make sure you choose your signature in the “New messages” and “Replies/forwards” select menus.

Click Ok until you are all the way out of the pop-ups.

Click New Email to view your new signature.

Congratulations, you’re now level expert. Enjoy.

How to install an HTML email signature on Mac Mail

First up, let’s open Mac Mail, then top left, click File followed by Preferences

Along the top we see General, Accounts, Junk… etc. We want Signatures.

Click the + under column 2. You will a new signature #1 appear.

Feel free to name it anything you like. In the 3rd column, type a placeholder – the word “HERE” works.

Click and drag the new signature from the middle column and drop it on the email accounts in the left column you wish to use your new signature. Don’t worry, we will get to replacing the “HERE” with your html shortly.

You can now close this window with the red x top left and close Mac Mail with Command + Q on the keyboard.

Now we replace the newly created signature with your html code.

Open a new Finder window.

In the menu bar click Go. Now, this is nifty. Hold the Option Key on your keyboard, you see that new menu option that’s popped up Library – let’s click that.

A new finder window will pop up and you’ll be sitting in Library. Within this folder we want Mail / V2 / MailData / Signatures containing .mailsignature files. If there is more than one, we need to find the most recent.

This will be easier in finder list view, hit Command + 2 and now you can see a Date Modified column. We’re looking for the most recent. Now Control + Click (or right click), Open With, TextEdit.

A giveaway will be seeing ‘HERE’ within the code.

Have your html signature code ready by opening the file in TextEdit the same way as above.

Now we simply replace everything below the Mime-Version line with our html email signature and hit Command + S to save. If it asks you to unlock the file, click Unlock.

Click the little downwards facing arrow on the top bar, and select Locked, then Command + Q again to quit. You can also close the finder window now.

Now when you open Mail, you will have a fancy new html signature.

Compose a new email and you’ll see a signature drop down on the right hand side. Select your new signature.

Within preferences, you also have the option to change the default email signature for each mail account.

Enjoy your snazzy new html email signature.

How to install an HTML email signature on iOS iPhone

Open your provided email signature link in Safari

Tap and hold your finger on some part of the email body that is not a link.

When the iOS select box appears, drag the blue handles at the end to surround your signature.

Once surrounded, tap the “Copy” button to copy your signature to your iOS Clipboard.

Hit the home button to close Safari.

Navigate to the iOS Settings App, then to “Mail”, then near the bottom “Signatures”.

You will see a list of emails you have setup.

Tap twice in the empty box and select “Paste” from the popup menu.

Don’t close yet – we have one more step, as the signature doesn’t look right just yet.

Apple automatically tries to “enhance” the signature when you paste it, causing it to become messed up and distorted. Luckily, they allow us to Undo these “enhancements”.

Shake your device until an “Undo Change Attributes” screen shows.

Enjoy your updated html email signature.
