Ewabi by name, wabi-sabi by nature.
Following our brand workshop with business stakeholders, we identified that the essence of the brand reflected similarities to the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi — the beauty of things modest and humble, representing liberation from a material world and transcendence to a simpler life — forming the initial inspiration for the name. The genuinely ethical foundations in e-corp philosophy — equality for everyone, everywhere — is represented in the “e” in the name, as is the electric power that charges the bikes. And so the name Ewabi was born.
Naming and branding a deeply ethical business.
When we were was approached to create the brand identity for this startup electric bamboo bicycle company, we sought first to deeply understand and articulate the values that are at the heart of its inception — the commitment social responsibility and to providing clean, affordable, and sustainable transportation — and the passion for providing an enjoyable, superior cycling experience and connectedness to the natural environment.
Results — not just a bike company, but a community.
We developed the brand guidelines for the visual identity, ensuring consistent communication of the core values, while the startup enjoys a growing following.
