Key Initiatives

  • Brand Identity System: We formalized Fenwick’s identity system, refining the iconic Eagle logo, and building out an adaptable design foundation for full implementation that included typography, color, iconography, and visual elements. Paired with these core visuals we also defined a clear brand voice and tone that captures Fenwick’s authority and passion for the sport.
  • Design Toolkit Development: A flexible design system was created to support real-world application across digital, print, and physical mediums. This included templates for web, email, presentations, paid media, and apparel, each designed to bring the brand to life with consistency and impact.
