Announced today onstage at the virtual Generation Blue Experience®, the refresh marks the next stage of Project North Star, which will continue into 2021.
The alignment of the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program with the new visual identity of the Coldwell Banker brand creates a unified voice in reaching both the mainstream and affluent customer and establishes a modern logo for today’s mobile, social and digital marketing environment.

Top terms attributed to the logo were: Modern, Innovative, Unique, Trustworthy, and Stylish.
The brand also conducted formal focus groups comprised of group interviews, anonymous surveys, and one-on-one sessions with Luxury Brand Ambassadors across 10 countries, as well as with top agen ts and brokers from across the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury network. This was to ensure full stakeholder engagement and helped crystalize the findings of the global consumer study.
