Visual Identity

Bahn Express is Finland's fastest growing service for cross-border vehicle transfers. I redesigned the company's visual identity to support its rapid growth by conveying efficiency, trustworthiness, and speed through a clear, technology-driven brand system.

Challenge

As Bahn Express grew, its existing visual identity no longer reflected the company's ambitions. The challenge was to create a flexible, technology-driven visual identity that enabled consistent communication and stood out in a traditional industry.

Process

I worked closely with Bahn Express's CEO and Head of Product to understand the industry, competitors, and environments in which the visual identity would live. Familiar elements from the previous identity were refined into a more modern and scalable system.

Solution

The result is a flexible visual identity supported by comprehensive visual identity guidelines. A three-part logo system improves legibility across applications, while the lightning shape derived from the letter “B” creates a distinctive visual expression of speed.
