One Moto

ONE MOTO’s previous symmetric wing motif sat squarely within a universe of century-old automotive brands, all harking back to the golden age of internal combustion engines. But with a vision pointing towards a future of all-electric mobility, the creative team looked to move away from the Jaguars, Falcons and Mustangs of old – symbols of an age that run at odds with the zeitgeist of efficient, effortless mobility.

Inspired by nature, ONE MOTO’s new logo is a nod to the hummingbird in flight, the ultimate symbol of effortless electric efficiency, with the fluid, asymmetric design a symbol of motion towards a new electric-powered future.

With a growing trend in flattening automotive icons for a digital age, Black  created two versions of the new icon – a flat version for digital applications, and a 3D icon for automotive and outdoor signage applications. 

Alongside the icon, the team developed a wordmark for each product. The bold new typeface is composed of selectively elongated letters giving each vehicle the impression of speed – even while standing still – leading to the team coining the phrase Emotion in Motion.

Bringing all the elements of the identity together across digital channels, from the reimagined website optimising the customer journey, to the social media assets carrying the brand story. From the tiny SoMe icon to a massive billboard in downtown Amsterdam – the bicycling capital of the world – the identity works in all applications, and at all scales.

As the company embarks on a global expansion into new territories including the UK, India and Australia, ONE MOTO stands apart as a brand born in the electric age, with an identity to lead the brand into an electric future.
