The STAR Coldwell Banker Identity Standards | 9.19 | 5

The Story
Behind The Star

Our mark features a visual icon that sets us

apart—a star. This star represents two distinctive
elements that exemplify the Coldwell Banker brand.
First, the five-pointed star is a recognized mark
of excellence, one that symbolizes the quality of
service that we’ve provided since 1906. Second,
throughout history, the North Star has been the
beacon that explorers have used to guide them
to the place they most cherished—home. Sitting
confidently above the CB, this north star signifies
the fact that we’ve been guiding people home for
over a century, longer than any other real estate
brand. Finally, we’ve kept our signature blue color,
while revising our bounding rectangle to a sleeker,
more compact square—a profile more in keeping
with today’s mobile-first culture.

OUR approach
Modern, airy, clean, natural white light, blue accents and pops of
bright color, movement, intriguing camera angles, doesn’t look
like stock photography – that’s our style in a nutshell.

Models are attractive, but not supermodels. They look natural

and are engaged in realistic activities in an authentic setting.
They are usually not posed, don’t show false enthusiasm
(high fives, jumping) and often are not looking at the camera.
We like to ensure that our photographs are diverse in nature.
PHOTOGRAPHY Coldwell Banker Identity Standards | 9.19 | 23

AGENTS
Look for authenticity – these are business professionals who are ready to win the listing and
close the deal. Whether they are engaged in an activity or interaction, or are looking directly into
the camera, avoid images that look overly posed. Imagery should represent our agent base.
Their styles vary from suit and tie to work casual, even jeans, but they always look ready for
business. Models vary in age and reflect a range of personalities, ethnicities and styles.
Be regionally specific when possible.
PHOTOGRAPHY Coldwell Banker Identity Standards | 9.19 | 24

CONSUMERS
Models represent home buyers and sellers, both individuals and families.
The people and surroundings being represented are diverse in nature
and all-embracing.
PHOTOGRAPHY Coldwell Banker Identity Standards | 9.19 | 25

BUSINESS
Models should be engaged in realistic business activities, so avoid images
that look overly posed. Choose attractive office settings that could realistically
be a Coldwell Banker© office or a space where an agent would work. Look for
intriguing camera angles that show a unique perspective.
PHOTOGRAPHY Coldwell Banker Identity Standards | 9.19 | 26

LIFESTYLE
Models should appear in natural situations instead of blatant poses that scream “stock
photography.” Look for movement and moments that are captured between friends and family.
Settings should be inviting and relatable.
