The Origin

The concept behind this project came about during a trip to my dads. I had to take a National Rail train to London, then the tube to paddington before another National Rail service to Bath Spa followed by a bus from the station. This resulted in needing 3 different tickets. But why did I need 3 tickets for this? Wouldnt it be easier to just have 1 and tap on each service. That inspired the concept of RIDE. To simplify national transportaton.

White outlined letter R on a blue background

I took huge inspiration from the TFL and the London Underground to create the logo. I really wanted something to showcased connectivity and travel and what better way to utalise this by creating an ‘R’ that looks like stations and routes form the London Tube Map. it works both in colour and mono formats and i think really represents what RIDE is trying to do and that make national travel easier and connecting different cities together with out the need for multiple tickets.

Color guide showing color names and hex codes: White (#FFFFFF), Royal Blue (#1E3E95), Overground Orange (#E96910), Bus Stop Red (#DB4E).

The Colour Scheme is heavily inspired by the TFL London Tube Map. It is one of the most recogniseable maps in the world. The iconic red London buses or as we call in Bus Stop Red combined with a Royal Blue and Overground Orange bring a real pop of colour, it is bright and bold and really catches the eye, especially when placed on a white background. And a White mono-coloured logo placed on either of those colours really stands out creating a perfect pairing for this brand.

The Colours Scheme:

Design with the words 'RIDE' and 'RIDE' in colorful, circuit-like letters, labeled as primary and secondary logos, on a white and blue background.

Logo Lockups:

ID badge with photo of a man in a suit, text 'Henry Allen', title 'Marketing Manager', a QR code, and a lanyard featuring a map and transportation symbols.

FINAL SAY

“Digging through my pockets or wallet to find the right bus ticket or searching through aps to find your train ticket could be a thing of the past. Why are they all in different places? surely it makes sense to have one ticket. like an Oyster Card? but why cant i also use it in Manchester or Milton Keynes?

These thoughts are what inspired this passion project. One singlualr card that allows me to tap and go wherever I am. One that covers all forms of public transport within the UK.
