Off-Road Branding

Ignite Offroad needed a branding system that could hold up in the off-road and motorsports industry. Our goals were:

  • Create a bold, edgy, action-sports-inspired identity

  • Ensure every logo in the suite worked across merch, decals, product applications, social, and web

  • Build a mark that felt custom and unique, not another generic skull, but something recognizable from any distance

Their brand needed to hit both audiences they serve:

  • Off-road vehicle owners

  • Motorsports and action-sports culture

So we built their entire logo system around that custom flame-skull icon, gritty, aggressive, and bold.

Ignite Offroad’s visual identity leans heavily into:

  • Bold geometric typography

  • Distressed textures

  • Strong badge shapes

  • A custom-designed skull with flames

  • A look and feel that fits right in with off-road culture, SEMA energy, and action-sports brands

The Creative Process

We starting with rough thumbnail sketches and moved through into digital refinement:

  • Thumbnail sketching for overall composition

  • Building shapes, angles, and badge forms

  • Creating the custom skull + flame icon

  • Digitizing everything in vector

  • Exploring multiple badge layouts

  • Refinement of spacing, weight, balance

  • Adding texture, distressing, and final typography

  • Exporting a full logo suite ready for any use

By the end, they had a complete brand identity system with:

  • A primary badge

  • Secondary logos

  • Stand-alone icon

  • Typography lockups

  • Vector files for every application

Everything they needed to represent the brand consistently across all gear, vehicles, and marketing.

Why This Project Was Fun

I grew up around motorsports and action-sports culture in southern California. Dirt bikes, off-road rigs, racing graphics, motocross branding always hits home. Designing bold, high-impact logos is something I genuinely love doing, and the Ignite Offroad skull icon instantly became one of my favorite marks we’ve created in this space.
