Identity
Bay City Bike serves the San Francisco waterfront, while Parkwide serves prominent parks and civic zones. While the businesses share behind-the-scenes operations and equipment, they present different public faces.
Print & Advertising
Print collateral and advertising campaigns rely on bold colors, enticing photography and high-energy design to capture attention and drive excitement for cycling and the sights that one can see while riding.
Product Brands
Bay City Bike uniquely employs custom lines of hybrid and electric bikes to enhance brand visibility around the city. Falling under the Beyond parent brand, each bike model has its own logo/icon, creating visual continuity while capturing mindshare. The equipment is available at locations across their Citywide Network.
Environmental
Location and environmental signage features bold, playful illustrations that capture street traffic and create enthusiasm.
The Impact
BCB/Parkwide has expanded operations/locations and become a major player in San Francisco tourism. They are heralded as industry leaders with a recognized and respected brand, and continue to use strategic design to grown their business.
