TRAPP

Digital branding transforms construction companies into project developers.

(Overview)

Corporate design relaunch
and new website

Everyone knows the TRAPP logo. For almost 150 years, it has been synonymous with the Group’s demanding construction projects in the international building and civil engineering sector. Now two successful TRAPP companies are opening new chapters in the Group’s history with refreshed traditional logos and innovative designs.

Schwarz+Matt® prepared and implemented the holistic digitalization in an advisory capacity. The services are funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) in the “go-digital” program.

In order to make the globally renowned TRAPP brand fit for digital marketing, it is being transformed into a contemporary, modern design. Specifically, Schwarz+Matt began with the corporate design relaunch and website developments for TRAPP Real Estate GmbH and TRAPP Construction International.

Brand transformation

When adapting the logo, current fields of activity are accentuated and historical ones are toned down. A vibrant shade of red has a more dynamic effect. It harmonizes perfectly with classically elegant Schwarz and contrasting grey. Schwarz+Matt® uses this to develop applications for analog (letterhead, business cards, signage) and digital (website, presentations, app icon) use.

Reference projects
as a central building block

The website guides the user step by step through the international world of the construction company. It positions the company as an investment and service developer for sustainable construction projects. It is characterized by the company’s key personalities, Dipl.-Ing. Fritz-Martin Waldendorf and Dipl.-Kfm. Max Trapp. Impressive reference projects are at the heart of the website. The user selects them according to fields of application in a quick overview or finds exciting details.

The screen design creates interesting foreground/background relationships. Schwarz+Matt designs brightening filters with a high white content for the uniform visual language, especially project photographs. This gives the photos a fresh, modern look. Extraordinary perspectives, drone/detail shots and elaborate building renderings create excitement in the photos.

Based on these ideas and the new design, the English-language website of the sister company Trapp Construction International is then created, with a stronger focus on the company’s history. In this way, a globally active, traditional construction group is transformed into two digitally equipped flagships that can successfully conquer new markets.
