Giving a reputable legal firm a brand refresh
Building a brand for a growing business
Prather Ebner Wilson is a small team of highly credentialed, nationally recognized legal experts delivering personalized advice in trust and estate issues. The firm was adding a new partner and decided to take that opportunity to refocus their brand. The Bigmouth team helped them revitalize the Prather Ebner Wilson brand platform; develop a new identity; create brand guidelines to inspire existing and new employees; and design a website to serve their growing PR and marketing needs for years to come.

BRAND PLATFORM
Positioning a brand with many stories to tell
Prather Ebner Wilson was already a respected and accomplished firm whose work and client relationships spoke for themselves. The Bigmouth team wanted this brand refresh to adeptly communicate those many strengths and differentiators. We conducted workshops to gather input from every team member and ensure our team understood every aspect of their business. We learned they weren’t just legal experts – they’re a local Chicago firm passionate about serving their city; an LGBTQ+ owned business proudly supporting their community; and a team of compassionate professionals dedicated to their clients’ success. Each important piece of their identity informed the new brand platform.

VISUAL IDENTITY SYSTEM
Creating a look and feel that reflects their brand and business
We wanted to make sure Prather Ebner Wilson’s visual identity stood out from competitors while reflecting the personable, trustworthy team. We created a simple yet sophisticated system—brightening their color palette to feel warm and welcoming; using unique typefaces and patterns that hint at their location in Chicago’s historic Monadnock building; and showcasing photography that reflects their clients. Each of these elements come to life in their logo, website, presentation template, business papers, and more.
