What if Pontiac was relaunched in 2026?
This rebranding concept explores how a legacy automotive brand could evolve while preserving its performance-driven DNA.
Instead of redesigning just a logo, I focused on:
• Modernizing the symbol for scalability
• Refining typography for strength & precision
• Creating a bold but controlled color system
• Designing a logo system, not a single mark
Strong brands don’t rely on nostalgia — they translate heritage into clarity.
If Pontiac came back today, would this direction feel right?
I’d love to hear your thoughts 👇

2026 is "the year of the B2B rebrand."
Except most companies are doing it backwards.
They're changing logos, picking new colors, refreshing typography and calling it a rebrand.
Meanwhile, their positioning hasn't changed. Their messaging is still confused. Their website still tells a story from two funding rounds ago.
Here's what I've seen with my work through actual inflection points:
The rebrand that works isn't visual first. It's positioning-first.
You figure out where the company actually operates now, you build a messaging hierarchy that reflects the current product, the current buyer, the current competitive landscape. Then you design a system that communicates all of that.
If your rebrand starts with "who are we now and who needs to know?" you're building something that compounds.
Top work, always 💯🫡
What if minimalism isn’t less — but more intentional?
This is COCO — a finished packaging system built on restraint.
Clean hierarchy, deliberate typography, purposeful whitespace,reduced elements.
But the key shift is here:
→ material becomes the design.
→ The aluminum isn’t just a container
it defines the color, the light, the presence.
A few intentional decisions:
1. Removing everything that didn’t carry meaning
2. letting hierarchy guide instead of decorate
3. treating material as the primary visual layer
For me, minimalism is not less design —
it’s more attention to every detail.
Great!!
The part of your brand people actually remember isn't the logo.
I've been getting a lot of enquiries lately for logo-only work. Whilst I love designing logos, they're not actually super useful unless they're also supported by the strategy and frameworks of a wider visual identity.
The most valuable thing I deliver to clients are brand guidelines, which provide the blueprint for ensuring a consistent and cohesive look in all platforms and spaces.
I've recently been working on this identity for Forma, and I'm completely falling in love with it 🌀
