Concept, Logotype

A bold new direction for the UK's number one forest adventure company. Brought in as a design lead to explore identity directions, concepts and craft a bespoke logotype, I worked with the team to establish the typographic style and shape language that would define the Go Ape rebrand.

CHALLENGE
After 15 years, Go Ape needed a refresh to win back young adults and clarify their expanding offerings. One flexible master brand which stretches across 30+ locations, tying all the sub-brands together. My role was to explore identity directions and craft a fresh logotype to steer the overall typographic style and shape language.

SOLUTION
Bespoke letterforms formed a versatile, bold, sticker-style master logo — with a stencil version usable on any background. An approachable, warm graphic style with playful patterns and a bold typographic system made brand-building easy and enjoyable for in-house teams across every location.

OUTCOME
Swift nationwide rollout and a substantial increase in participation from a younger audience.
