Identity & Logotype
By developing a bespoke wordmark and custom icon instead of standard templates, the brand achieves a vibrant, modern mark balancing true luxury with approachability.
The Wordmark
Utilising Lexend Peta as a foundation, a custom-engineered letter 'E' was introduced to inject a sharp, bespoke edge that aligns with the high-end vision.
The Gear Icon
A standard mechanical gear was heavily refined into a premium geometric pattern, elevating the graphic from its automotive roots into an elite, luxurious crest.
The Monogram Integration
The custom letter 'E' was carefully integrated directly into the gear's centre, linking the identity together to create a powerful, easily recognisable standalone mark.
