The Opportunity

Initially, The Grind was a quaint, unassuming coffee corner tucked away within a bicycle store. It provided a cozy spot where bike enthusiasts would gather before and after their rides, enjoying a well-deserved cup of coffee. Despite its modest size, The Grind had become a beloved part of the local cycling community.

However, the brand was eager to evolve and expand its reach while preserving the unique charm that resonated so deeply with its customers.

The Solution

The solution was a comprehensive rebrand that seamlessly integrated The Grind's unique heritage with a modern twist. We began by crafting a new visual identity that preserved the cozy, inviting atmosphere of the original coffee nook while infusing it with a contemporary edge. This involved designing a fresh logo, updating the colour palette, and creating a cohesive brand aesthetic that could be applied across all touchpoints.
