Making an automotive service brand visible and consistent
An identity refinement and physical rollout connecting vehicles, premises, signage and day-to-day customer material.
Brand design delivered through Vivid Icon with signage and production capability from the sister-company network.
Business challenge
Service businesses often accumulate inconsistent applications over time. The task was to create a practical identity that could survive real production constraints and remain recognisable across premises and moving vehicles.
Research
The work considered vehicle shapes, viewing distances, workshop conditions, sign placement and the information customers need when locating or contacting the business.
Strategy
The identity was simplified into a small set of dependable assets with strong contrast and clear hierarchy. Each application prioritises recognition first, followed by the information relevant to its context.
Creative direction
A direct, robust visual language suits the automotive category without relying on generic mechanical imagery. Consistent type, colour and placement create cohesion across different production surfaces.
Execution
The identity was applied to vehicles, workshop and exterior signage, customer-facing collateral and supporting brand material, with artwork developed for practical fabrication.
Photography
Application imagery documents how the system holds together across changing vehicle proportions, architectural contexts and working environments.
