Redline
A complete brand identity for Redline, a trucking dispatch service. A sharp red mark and an industrial black-and-red system that carries from social posts to flags and trailers.

- Social Media
Redline Dispatch helps truck drivers and owner-operators in the US keep their wheels moving: finding loads, handling paperwork and providing support. Trucking is a crowded, trust-driven industry where most dispatch brands look generic. Redline needed an identity that drivers would remember, and that would look at home on a trailer as well as in an Instagram feed.
Art direction
The mark is built from two slanted, parallel forms that read as motion and a road ahead, and double as a stylised R. It sits next to a clean, modern wordmark and works on its own as an app icon or avatar.
Space Grotesk gives the brand a technical, confident voice, while a tight palette of Black Noir, greys, white and a single signal red keeps every touchpoint high-contrast and instantly recognisable.
Creative process
From the mark we built a family of supporting elements: a repeating pattern of red slanted shapes that adds rhythm to large surfaces, and a subtle grid that frames social posts and stationery.
The system was then tested where Redline actually lives: business cards, social profiles, flags carrying the three key words of the service, and a full trailer wrap, to make sure it holds up at every scale.
Redline now has a cohesive brand that feels as strong on a forty-foot trailer as it does on a phone screen, built on one simple mark and a clear set of rules the team can use everywhere.
