Orwell Motorcycles
BRANDING | DESIGN | MARKETING
Orwell Motorcycles got in touch with us initially to help them with their advertising and marketing. We encouraged them to look at their brand identity to make sure how they were as a business was accurately translated in their appearance. There was a mismatch – their identity looked dated and didn’t do their offering, service and merchandise justice. We began this brand re-design process with a full audit of their current offering and then proposed a new direction which we felt accurately represented their vision for their business now and in the future.
CASE STUDY
“We’ve been working with WHAT associates since 2018. During that time they have lead us through a company image transformation. They’ve covered every aspect of our look and feel, from website, stationery to uniforms and showroom. We now have a unique, fun but professional look that has made for a simpler, cleaner company image and has brought together our departments.WHAT have brought us up to date in a cost-effective, professional manner. They have listened and encouraged rather than bulldozered and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

Yellow is the most luminous of all the colours of the spectrum, combined with black or dark grey, it creates one of the easiest colour combinations to read and see from long distances. It also reflects the high-vis colour associated with motorbike safety.
