American Inhouse Design Awards 2026
The Towers Crescent Brand Book was developed to guide the repositioning of one of Tysons’ most recognizable office landmarks while preserving the architectural legacy that has defined it for decades. Rather than creating an entirely new identity, the strategy focused on uncovering and amplifying the distinctive attributes that already existed within the property, transforming them into a cohesive brand system that could support its next chapter. Grounded in stakeholder insights and market positioning research, the identity draws directly from the building’s architecture and sense of place. A custom arched monogram references the property's iconic rooftop silhouette, creating an immediate visual connection to the landmark itself. A sophisticated palette of midnight navy and refined copper reflects the interplay of the building’s brick façade against the evening skyline, while a carefully curated typographic system combines structured serifs and modern sans serifs to communicate both permanence and contemporary relevance. The brand book serves as the foundation for all future marketing, environmental graphics, and tenant communications, establishing clear standards while telling the story behind the identity. More than a style guide, it is a strategic framework that reconnects the property to its legacy and reinforces its position within the market. The result is a timeless, place driven brand that celebrates Towers Crescent’s architectural significance while positioning it for a new generation of tenants, ensuring this Tysons icon is not only recognized, but remembered.
