RE/MAX Reintroduces Brand With Fresh Logo

Imagine
RE/MAX announced a “refresh” of its brand identity on Monday, including an update to its iconic balloon logo and wordmark. The changes will appear in advertising and on office fronts and yard signs in the months ahead, as well as in TV ads and on remax.com this fall. “Our new look better represents the enthusiastic entrepreneurs who comprise our network,” says Adam Contos, co-CEO of RE/MAX. “Great brands evolve and RE/MAX is no different. We believe the updated balloon and wordmark will help our agents grow their business and give them an even bigger competitive advantage in digital, social media and mobile marketing.” RE/MAX’s red, white and blue hot air balloon is now “brighter, more modern and more appealing to homebuyers and sellers of today,” according to a release from the company.

Housing Provisions Approved in Government Spending Bill

Imagine
A massive $1.3 trillion, 2,232-page spending bill—which is set to keep government agencies operating through September—has been approved by the House and Senate. The House approved the bill Thursday with a 256-167 vote; members of the Senate approved the bill in a 256-167 vote on Friday. President Donald Trump  tweeted concerns and possible plans to veto the bill over insufficient funding for the border wall and the absence of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) legislation. I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, 2018 However, he signed the bill on Friday afternoon, stating that funding is needed to rebuild the military. Along with measures to increase funding for the military and school
