mapping and way-finding design

Bus fleet branding design and application specifics to bus model "Orion V".

Logo design, Custom font, Branding.

Process for Logo design
This is one of the most creative challenges in my career. By starting with a simple list of words to convey the meaning of Public Transit mobility, and what I wanted this new brand to reflect.

I researched fonts, curves, sizes, potential uses, even the way the bus would look when driving through the service area.

The logo was the first part of the redesign as part of the branding the company wanted to start their 50 year anniversary with.

I finally decided that a custom font was necessary and would push this Public company ahead of larger agencies, and would be highly visible within the service area it covered.

This Rebranding included marketing and brand recognition to current service areas as well as to outreach to new users. I was looking to convey the feeling of a fresh new look, and a new experience for current riders.
