Maria Varnava

Case Study:

Personal Branding Project for a Luxury Property Agent

Name: Maria Varnava

Industry: Real Estate
Location: Dubai
Role: Luxury Real Estate Specialist

Project Goal

To craft a personal brand that is elegant, professional, and memorable — one that authentically represents Maria’s personality and establishes a strong presence across digital and print platforms.

Process & Creative Direction

We began the project by creating three distinct moodboards, each inspired by different aspects of Maria’s story, style, and aesthetic preferences:

  • Direction 1: Soft Elegance
    A delicate and refined direction using nude tones and warm neutrals, paired with clean, high-end typography. This route conveyed calm sophistication and timeless appeal.

  • Direction 2: Bold Sophistication
    A more polished, modern feel featuring a silver and soft pink palette, with structured layouts and editorial-style type. This direction leaned into professionalism with a feminine edge.

  • Direction 3: Minimalist Modern
    A confident, contemporary approach with a maroon-accented color scheme, minimal composition, and bold contrasts. This concept felt sleek, assertive, and clean.

After reviewing all three we decided to combine a blend of Direction 1 and Direction 2. We merged the soft elegance and warmth of the first with the modern structure and color edge of the second, creating a balanced and memorable brand foundation.

Logo Development

With a clear visual direction in place, we moved into the logo design phase. We explored a wide range of logo sketches and concepts, aiming to capture Maria’s professional yet approachable persona.

We selected a final logo mark that felt both refined, confident and feminine. Interestingly, while the chosen logo structure worked beautifully, the font from another concept felt more aligned with Maria’s brand. We made a strategic decision to combine them — using the stronger font from an alternate version with the selected logo form — creating a perfect balance of personality and polish.

Brand Identity

The final brand is a harmonious blend of thoughtful design choices:

 

  • Logo Suite (10 Variations)
    Includes primary, secondary, monogram, and reverse logos in black, white, and brand color versions

  • Color Palette
    A refined selection of nude and soft pink, to evoke trust, elegance, and calm professionalism.

  • Typography
    A signature serif and sans-serif pairing that reinforces clarity and high-end quality.

Brand Guidelines Document
A comprehensive manual outlining logo, color codes, type hierarchy, tone of voice, and application samples — ensuring consistency across every touchpoint.
