Kelvin Liu is a broker who sells, buys, leases and handles commercial property. We gave him one look for the card in a client’s pocket and the sign on the lawn: deep green, a copper frame, and his name set in Didot, recognisable from across the street.

  • Business card, print & digital
  • For Sale sign
  • Open House sign

01The card

The name first,
then the number.

The card reads in the order a client needs it: the name in copper Didot, then the title and the four services, then a deep-green band that carries the phone number across the whole card. The reverse is all green — the brokerage mark framed in copper, and the four services in a ruled grid along the foot. A print file with bleed, and a digital edition for sending from a phone.

Card front: name, title and the four services, with a green band across the card; contact details shown as grey bars

02The signs

Read it
from across the street.

On the For Sale sign, FOR SALE fills a copper band edge to edge, in the same Didot as the name, so the card and the sign read as one person. Below come the name panel and a white panel for the number, with the brokerage and MLS® marks along the foot.

Copper appears in three places only — the frame, the name and the headline band. Everything else is green and white, so from a distance what remains is a name and one word.

03Open house

The band becomes an arrow;
the address is written on the day.

The open-house sign keeps the same layout and changes two things: the copper band grows an arrow, and a white strip below it is left blank for the address, written on site.

The card and both signs were delivered in 2026. They are shown here re-set from the final files as vector artwork, with the portrait, phone number, email, office address, WeChat QR code and the brokerage and MLS® marks removed; grey bars mark where the contact details sat. The name, services and headlines are set in Didot as in the originals; the “Broker” line is re-set in a close sans. With the portrait gone, the name block moves to the left margin and the signs’ logo strip merges into the contact panel; otherwise the layouts follow the originals.
