When AMREP Corporation
purchased Koontz Ranch, located north of Albuquerque, the
company began to market and develop the 90,000 acres --much
of which had sold at 17 cents an acre at a 1919 tax sale--by
selling homesites to people in the East and Midwest. It
was one of the most widely marketed land development programs
in the U.S.
Between 1961 and 1977,
AMREP sold more than 75,000 lots to thousands of people
in other parts of the country. The company marketed Rio
Rancho and New Mexico intensely, not only with advertising,
but with inducements such as free dinners, movies and slide
shows. It offered people a dream of leaving the crowded
city and coming to the spacious west with its dramatic views
and endless opportunities. The development of Rio Rancho
coincided with a national trend of migration to the Sunbelt
areas of the country.
There was dissatisfaction
among some of the residents and others who owned land in
Rio Rancho but still lived in other parts of the country.
They felt that AMREP had misled them because the land they
bought for $795 per half acre had not increased in value
as much as they had been led to believe. Lawsuits were filed.
A grand jury charged AMREP with defrauding customers, indicting
the company for selling land it bought for $180 an acre
for $11,800 per residential acre and as much as $25,000
an acre for commercial use. Three executives of AMREP were
indeed fined for mail fraud and served six months in jail.

Realm designed an entire corporate
identity package for Real World. The design created expressed
a cutting edge, urban style vector that limited the use
of colors but made a bold statement.

Real World asked for
a logo concept that utilized a blue color scheme depicting
power yet bright and refreshing. Incorporating the world
with the R wrapping itself around it illustrated the company's
long range desire for global business.
The Real World website design
was conceptual only. The firm asked us to develop a look
and feel that their in-house team could execute the build
out and management of. We designed a look that matched the
corporate identity we had previously developed.

We were asked to develop an
entire investor presentation ring binder template that the
company could use to organize investor funds to purchase
large tracts of land. Real World utilizes this template
each time they prepare another road show for capital investment.
