    Meticulously crafted with rider experience in mind, Fairlight Cycles needed a fresh brand strategy and scalable visual toolkit
    With a series of new Fairlight models on the horizon, we saw an opportunity to capture the precision and raw feelings these bikes evoke, resulting in a fresh brand strategy and scalable visual toolkit.

    Poetics of Data

    Whether solo or in a group, no two rides are the same. Ever-changing landscapes and conditions test both mind and body.

    Each ride offers fresh perspectives; routes, viewpoints, and moments of self-discovery. A continuous stream of new data: weather, terrain, pace, and distance. What if we used this data to uncover patterns and visually express the uniqueness of every ride?

    Decals with Feeling

    We used an algorithm to transform real ride data into a family of decal patterns integrated into Fairlight frames.

    Each pattern is shaped by a mixture of terrain and the feeling of riding — of speed and weather conditions on a road bike, or changing surfaces and vibrations on a gravel cycle.

    Emphasising the adventures that Fairlight enables, the patterns are a reminder to stay in the moment, soak up the experience, and enjoy the ride.

    A Spectrum of Expression

    We expanded these decals into a broader visual system, setting the foundation for Fairlight’s future branding.

    For the new releases, this visual language highlights the duality of Fairlight bikes as Instruments of Discovery—precise, technical machines that enable unscripted adventure.
    We’re passionate about working with like-minded people and progressive brands, exploring design, innovation, and the future of brand storytelling.

    If you're interested in how we can transform data into effective storytelling that increases the reach, output, and dimensionality of your brand, please get in touch to set up a short intro with our team.
