Modern electric car maker, Blackwell Motors transformed its heritage of reliability into a future-forward identity.
Brief
Rebrand and launch Blackwell’s first EV line.
| Mentioned. was commissioned to overhaul Blackwell’s brand identity, design a digital platform with 3D configurators, and create a campaign that connected tradition with future-facing sustainability.
Challenge
Balance heritage with innovation.
Legacy automakers often lean too heavily on history when entering EV markets, making them appear slow. At the same time, abandoning heritage risked alienating long-time customers. Blackwell needed to reposition without contradiction, convincing both loyalists and new buyers.
Solution
Create a visual and digital system that signals motion and progress.
| Mentioned. We streamlined Blackwell’s brand identity into a sharper, kinetic system. The website introduced interactive configurators and range simulations, while campaign storytelling fused historical milestones with EV innovation. The central line “Drive Forward” became a bridge between tradition and progress.

EV PRE-ORDERS EXCEEDED
Blackwell entered the EV market with authority.
| Mentioned. The 3D configurator achieved a 74% completion rate, far exceeding the industry average. The launch was spotlighted in Adweek’s Top Automotive Launches 2025.
We designed a geometric, sunset-inspired identity and a digital platform that acted as an introduction to the resort itself. Visitors explored villas in detail, previewed curated itineraries, and experienced cinematic footage of the coastline. Typography and motion were deliberate, designed to echo architectural precision and ocean rhythm.
