After an initial period of creative consultation we were successfully awarded the identity project. We began by immersing ourselves in Boost, researching the history and evolution of the brand, visiting a wide variety of store formats and really trying to get under the skin of the culture and experience that go into making Boost so unique. Over the following 8 months we worked closely with a variety of business stakeholders to simplify, strengthen and streamline the visual and verbal identity. 

We recognised early on that the Boost identity was known for three key elements – the existing logo, the colour green and the founder Janine, who is very much the voice of the brand. Our key objective was always to maintain this recognisable character, but do it in a more considered and modern way. The existing logo is unique but complex in the number of shapes that go into making it up, we began by evolving each character to create a more iconic single colour version. We developed a set of visual assets that included a new ‘B’ icon, unique typographic palette, a large bespoke image library and a wide variety of design executions covering every business touchpoint.

The revitalised identity, graphic elements, new image library and comprehensive style guide are all being used by the in-house Boost design department. The examples shown here are a very very small selection of the identity and elements we developed.
