Abbot East Lansing

East Lansing, MI

The Abbot brings sophistication & style to Michigan State University

Objective

An upscale apartment building in Lansing, Michigan, which serves students and young professionals.

Solution

We avoided the usual MSU green cliches and instead built a sophisticated brand palette that hints at the Spartan community—but presented in an upscale way. We took inspiration of the angled street for a stylized A icon. Our solution included strategy, naming, brand identity, website, and full marketing collateral. The result is a higher level of sophistication than is typical of college housing.
