Detroit market buildout, community and school partnerships, expansion into youth programs and new cities.
Visual Identity
Logo

A bold, street-driven logo system designed to capture movement, creativity, and ownership. The visual direction reflects the energy of the curb itself — raw, expressive, and rooted in real environments — while maintaining clarity and consistency across merchandise, mobile activations, and digital platforms.
Before
No defined visual identity or consistent brand mark.
After
A recognizable logo system that anchors the brand across products, services, and community presence.

Creates instant recognition, strengthens credibility, and allows the brand to scale visually across products, activations, and new markets.
