charting new territory

Iconic surf and culture brand REEF turned to Vehicle to refresh its core brand and bring its new additions—Women’s and Men’s Premium, and Reef Golf—into the family fold. All without losing its beach-born identity. We dove right in and developed a visual language that kept the REEF ethos sacred, while pushing the brand to new heights.

different, but the same

We gave each category its own flavor through unique photo and typography choices, color palettes, and textures, while also refreshing the brand’s voice to capture the heart of its new markets.

a springboard for new teams, new markets

Since REEF needed its new brand system to be easily adoptable by both its in-house teams and external partners, we created digital, layout, and print examples to give all parties a solid jumping off point for brand expression.
