The Situation
Lummus Supply had nearly 100 years of history and generations of builder relationships, but longevity alone wasn’t enough to differentiate the brand. Research showed competitors making similar claims around legacy, family ownership and service. The opportunity was to uncover what truly made Lummus different and create a brand built for its next century.
Our Approach
We audited local and national competitors, then used brand discovery to uncover what had sustained Lummus for generations. Communication, Confidence and Consistency emerged as its essence, while the Outlaw archetype captured its independent spirit: a company willing to reject an increasingly corporate industry in favor of relationships, accountability and long-term partnership.

Solution
We positioned Lummus as the independent building materials supplier that puts long-term partnership ahead of short-term profit. A modernized identity retained its recognizable red while introducing stronger typography, simplified iconography, an expanded palette and a flexible visual system, connecting nearly a century of credibility to a more confident future.
