Brand identity

Pearson Cycles

Brand identity system for Pearson Cycles, with a view to moving into producing apparel as well as kit. As the oldest bike shop in the UK, they have more heritage and therefore more reason than any other to exist in this space, so we developed a brand that referenced and celebrated their heritage with a contemporary edge.

Identity

Kinetic

Kinetic is a student development in Old Trafford, surrounded by sporting heritage and the new U92 Academy. The name looked at reflecting this, with the visual cues taken from typography in sport, creating an interlocking fabric for flexible application.

The Leat

An identity for student housing in Exeter, built by Roach + Partners. With unexpected levels of finish paired with a quirky edge, the visual system looked at reflecting this though flexible interlocking graphics, a bespoke typeface (created specifically for use on way finding and signage), plus a diamond graphic device (informed by the entrance gate, created by a local Exeter artist).

Initial promotional work (used to generate interest) was bright, bold and contemporary. This slowly gives way to a more toned down aesthetic when on site, allowing for materials such as brass, steel and corten within the wayfinding to drive the feeling of quality and detailing.

Pixiebob

Brand positioning of Pixiebob, a new community insights platform. The name was infromed by the inquisitive nature of cats (with an intentional nod of personality and quirk) – a thread that also runs through the visual aesthetic from the literal illustrations, often showing a cat exploring within space – though to the core logo and signifier.

The logotype itself comprises of a bespoke wordmark (with a shorthand identifier also developed), accompanied by colourful ‘whiskers’, both a reference to the cat itself, but also hinting at a spark of energy in the sharing of information and knowledge. The ‘whiskers’ are accompanied by a secondary set of graphics or ‘tails’ – seen as the connection point between the visual elements.
