The brand identity design is rooted in the urban landscape, with Cycle's logo representing the streets delivery riders traverse. The sharp structure of the logo’s letters contrasts with soft, rounded corners, mirroring the fluid and agile paths of bikes. The logotype is built on a modular square framework that ensures boldness and clarity. Alongside the logo, designlaboratory* developed a suite of geometric, iconic symbols derived from the logotype to create a visual language that communicates simplicity, strength, and approachability. The brand’s voice is empowering, with a positive tone that reflects Cycle’s mission to improve the mobility experience. The visual identity is designed to build trust and differentiate Cycle from competitors, showcasing their innovative approach to sustainable urban delivery solutions.

We came across The Design Laboratory and decided to work with them to take over all the design aspects of our rebranding. We had a lot of press attention from the rebrand, which led to an increased number of leads of customers interested in working with us. We’d definitely recommend them to other companies because they delivered excellent results. Their creativity and professionalism were outstanding. The brand they created was complete and exciting from a creative standpoint. We were really pleased with it.
