IBIS’ New Look
From Ibis:
On Tuesday, September twenty seventh, Ibis can have a radically completely different look. We’re introducing a brand new emblem, wordmark, coloration palette, and typeface that shines a highlight on the values of our model.
When founder Scot Nicol was naming his newly hatched bicycle firm in 1981, he determined to evoke the fun of flight by selecting a chook. He preferred that birds are gentle and might fly, that are each constructive traits to affiliate with a bicycle. Sturdy, elegant, and quick, our new identification immediately evokes the connection between the chook and the model.
By embracing the chook, we’re strengthening the connection between the model and its core values for a brand new era of fans. Our iconic oval was created in 1993. That was a unique time within the bike world and the world usually. We didn’t but have a web site (that got here in 1997) and the tubes on our bikes had been spherical, skinny, and product of Moron (extra on the tip) metal.
Our new visible identification pays homage to that hand-crafted previous, whereas trying ahead. The brand new Ibis chook tasks power because it takes flight, whereas the arced beak is harking back to the care we take with the surfaces in our designs.
We additionally applied an uppercase IBIS to remind individuals visually that our firm is now not the mushy “i” of fascinating, however a proud and powerful “I” that embodies the spirit of us as people. These visuals are higher tailored to the complicated surfacing of our frames. They give the impression of being steady and trendy, like our bikes.
Since our humble beginnings, this mix of craft, magnificence, and irreverence has been a mainstay of the Ibis ethos. Our new model identification displays this previous, whereas welcoming an entire new period of riders to the flock.
Thank You,
Hans, Tom, Scot, Roxy & Colin
