A rewarding brand refresh

Love Local Life works in partnership with local businesses and the community to deliver a rewards scheme which aims to be mutually beneficial to all parties involved. Love Local Life is committed to getting relationships back between independent shops and their consumers helping to achieve and maintain a sustainable local economy.

The brief

Love Local Life intends to continue growing by launching and managing the scheme throughout all of the towns in Cheshire East.

Taking cues from the established name - Love Local Life - an organic, non-corporate, approach was taken towards developing the visual identity. Layered textural elements, combined with paper cut-out graphics, present the brand as ‘real’ and hands-on, and bring a grounded humility, approachability and community feel to the scheme. The logo takes the form of a stamp of approval – reinforcing the ‘for the people, by the people’ tone of the scheme. The whole identity is given life and flexibility through a vibrant colour palette which allows the brand to work across the vast range of sectors which it encompasses.

The refreshed brand was unveiled to coincide with the scheme’s launch in Middlewich.

To date, we have delivered:
