Client: BRRR! Snow & Ice Control
Establishing a Distinct Identity for a Seasonal Service Business
The Challenge
BRRR! Snow & Ice Control provides specialised snow and ice management services for residential and commercial strata properties across the Lower Mainland — a category where reliability, responsiveness, and trust are critical.
As an offshoot of Met Home Building Maintenance, a long-time Original Ginger client, the business needed a visual identity that could stand on its own while still feeling connected to the parent company. The goal was to create a brand that was recognisable, professional, and practical — particularly in high-stress winter conditions.
The challenge was to:
- Develop a distinct brand identity for a seasonal service business
- Ensure compatibility with the Met Home brand when displayed together
- Create a logo that performs well across vehicles, signage, and apparel
- Communicate stability and professionalism at a glance
BRRR! Snow & Ice Control was developed as a distinct brand within the same service group as Met Home Building Maintenance, allowing the identity to stand on its own while maintaining clear alignment with the parent business.

Our Approach
We began with a focused brand discovery process, exploring how BRRR! Snow & Ice Control should be perceived by strata boards and property managers making time-sensitive decisions.
The identity needed to:
- Convey strength, dependability, and readiness
- Feel modern without sacrificing clarity
- Remain legible across small and large applications
Working within those constraints, we developed a logo and visual system designed specifically for real-world use — from white service vehicles to signage and branded materials.
Branding Designed for Real Conditions
The colour palette draws from light blues and turquoise tones associated with winter conditions, helping the brand feel seasonally relevant without becoming decorative. Symbolic elements explored included snow tools, temperature indicators, and simplified mountain forms — refined into a clean, versatile mark.
Typography was selected for clarity and weight, ensuring the logo remains readable at a distance and adaptable across:
- Vehicle decals
- Uniforms and apparel
- Signage and printed materials
Crucially, the identity works both independently and alongside the Met Home Building Maintenance brand — reinforcing trust while clearly differentiating services.
The Outcome
BRRR! Snow & Ice Control now has a brand identity that:
- Clearly communicates reliability and professionalism
- Supports confidence among strata boards and property managers
- Integrates seamlessly with the parent company’s branding
- Performs effectively in real-world environments
The result is a practical, purpose-built identity designed to support decision-making when conditions matter most.
