A complete redesign of the GRVL Series brand identity to create a more cohesive, scalable, and inclusive visual system. The goal was to enhance recognition across all touchpoints while keeping the brand playful, bold, and accessible to the diverse gravel cycling community.
The new logo is centered on the people of GRVL—participants, organizers, and the entire team. It captures the event’s positive spirit, reflecting the energy and unity sparked by each person’s unique contribution as they come together to create an unforgettable experience.

The new GRVL logo brings the brand to life with a clever twist—the “g” doubles as a winking smiley, capturing the fun, inclusive spirit of the gravel riding community.
Logomark
Used when space is limited or for specific stylistic reasons. It’s suitable for small applications due to its clarity at reduced sizes.
Each event in the GRVL Series features its own version of the new logo, marked by the addition of “SBT,” “FNLD,” or “RADL”. This adaptable system not only distinguishes each event but also offers the flexibility to seamlessly expand as new locations are added in the future.
