Background

Gearz N Spokes is a small, family-owned bike shop embarking on the exciting journey of establishing their own business. As a start-up with a unique charm, Gearz N Spokes sought to create a memorable brand identity that would reflect the warmth of a mom and pop establishment while capturing the essence of their passion for bikes. The collaboration involved the design of a logo, business cards, and mock-ups for future applications.

Challenge:

The challenge presented by Gearz N Spokes was to develop a brand identity that would resonate with their community and convey the personalized and friendly atmosphere of a mom and pop shop. The design needed to be clean, distinctive, and versatile enough to be applied across various touchpoints, from business cards to potential future applications.

Solution:

Our approach to Gearz N Spokes began with understanding the heart and soul of their business – a family-owned bike shop with a personal touch. The logo design process aimed to capture the spirit of cycling while maintaining a clean and timeless aesthetic.

Full colour logo
A unique logo was crafted, incorporating elements that symbolize both gears and spokes, subtly weaving the essence of cycling into the visual identity. The chosen color palette was vibrant yet approachable, reflecting the energy and enthusiasm associated with biking. The typography was carefully selected to convey a sense of friendliness and approachability.
Black and White logos
Business cards were designed as an extension of the brand identity, featuring the newly created logo and providing essential contact information. The cards served not only as a means of networking but also as a tangible representation of the Gearz N Spokes brand.

In addition to the immediate needs of a logo and business cards, mock-ups for future applications were provided. This forward-thinking approach considered potential growth and expansion, ensuring the brand would remain cohesive and adaptable to various mediums and marketing materials as the business evolved.
