Brand Identity
Cycle's identity aims to be professional while still being bold and unapologetic in its visual approach. The visual identity speaks of simplicity and quality to help build trust within the brand by removing any unnecessary visual information. As a key part of their offering, the visual identity communicates the tangibility and strength of products the brand has to offer to differentiate the brand from any current and future competitors.
Cycle identity takes inspiration from an urban landscape, which is translated into a bold logo, representing the streets that riders cross when delivering goods. At the same time, the rigid structure of letters is contrasted by soft, rounded corners speaking of the fluid and agile paths of bikes. The bespoke logotype is based on a main square module that defines the bold weight of letters. Some of the corners have been rounded to make the logo approachable and simulate the circular forms of bike paths. Cycle’s iconographic language was developed by extracting simple geometries from the logo. By combining these shapes, three sets of bold, approachable and iconic symbols were created in line with the brand.
Cycle is motivated to improve and optimise their audience’s experiences with passion and care. It speaks with an empowering voice, communicating with a positive tone that supports and engages its audience.
