Valmonte Caxias is a new residential development by Mexto, close to the sea and surrounded by nature. Conceived as a refuge from the density of the city, the project brings together architecture and landscape to create a calm and distinctive living environment.

The visual identity centres on a symbol inspired primarily by the architectural language of the development. Its vertical lines reference the wooden structures that cover the façades and outdoor spaces, while the diagonal elements echo the architectural geometry of the project. Together, these lines create a distinctive graphic mark that also evokes the grain of wood and the veins of leaves, subtly forming the letter V of Valmonte.

A warm palette of ochre, greens and natural tones reinforces the connection with the surrounding landscape, while the typography and graphic language follow the visual system established across Mexto’s developments, ensuring consistency within the wider brand.

Through a visual identity rooted in the relationship between architecture and nature, and aligned with the Mexto design system, Valmonte Caxias brings the idea of “Refúgio e Natureza (Refuge and Nature)” to life.

Moving away from the conventional visual language of the financial sector, Est Finance was designed to communicate transparency and trust, bringing clarity, confidence and simplicity to the credit experience.

The visual identity is built around a bespoke logotype, where subtle geometric interventions create a distinctive and memorable presence. A simplified monogram extends the system into a versatile symbol, ensuring immediate recognition across both physical and digital applications.

A restrained palette of vibrant red and soft neutrals reinforces the brand’s confident yet approachable personality. Combined with a clean typographic system and structured layouts, it creates a visual language that is both contemporary and highly functional.

Beyond the visual identity, the project evolved into a complete communication system, including stationery, brochures, merchandising, social media and digital assets, ensuring a cohesive brand experience across every touchpoint.
Through consistency, clarity and purposeful design, Est Finance positions itself as a modern financial brand that simplifies complexity and makes trust visible.

Team Art Gallery emerges as the artistic and cultural extension of Team Collection — a space where art becomes a defining element within the TEAM ecosystem. While maintaining the brand’s cohesive visual identity, it expands TEAM into new creative territories, reinforcing its aspirational character without losing unity or strategic clarity.

The visual system is dynamic and modular, designed for flexibility and consistency. Built on fluid grids, it adapts seamlessly across digital and printed formats, enabling agile communication while preserving strong recognition and visual coherence.

TEAM Gallery’s identity acts as a neutral stage where art takes the lead. The use of black and white ensures that communication never competes with the artists’ work but enhances it. Despite this restraint, the brand maintains a distinctive personality aligned with the TEAM visual code — allowing it to integrate naturally into diverse exhibition and communication contexts while retaining clarity and sophistication.

Movement brings an additional layer of depth to the identity. Subtle animations, fluid rhythms and elegant transitions strengthen the brand’s digital presence, creating an engaging visual language that complements — rather than overshadows — the art it represents.

TEAM’s rebranding was driven by the ambition to consolidate its ecosystem into a clearer, more cohesive and aspirational brand. Through a new brand architecture, naming system and visual identity, the project strengthens recognition across all areas of activity while positioning TEAM with a strong, emotionally driven identity within a shared REMAX ecosystem. Designed to coexist harmoniously without dilution, the brand gains its own voice, authority and autonomy, capable of standing independently while remaining strategically aligned.

The visual identity emerges from a carefully crafted typographic approach, balancing simplicity, sophistication, modernity and timelessness. Subtle custom details — including the “t” form inspired by the number “1” — reinforce leadership and differentiation, embodying the brand’s positioning as “Acima da Média” (Above Average). More than a tagline “Acima da Média”, it acts as a cultural mantra, expressing ambition, excellence and distinction.

The parent brand’s red conveys energy and leadership, while sub-brands adopt complementary tones that ensure visual coherence and thematic clarity. A simple and modular architecture allows the ecosystem to evolve naturally — supporting new sub-brands, new areas and future formats — with each extension emerging as a logical and visual continuation of the TEAM universe.

The result is an “Above Average” rebranding — a distinctive and autonomous identity within a highly standardised landscape of REMAX agency groups, positioning TEAM as a strong, strategic and future-ready brand in a competitive and constantly evolving sector.
