We introduced an entirely new brand to better reflect the owners fun-loving and adventurous nature. The three-wheeled bike logo mark symbolises the two owners’ creative minds combining into one quirky, unique third wheel – ‘You, me, and Peabody’. Thus, &Peabody was born. We’ve infused the new brand identity with explosions of colour and flavour, featuring illustrations that frolic with the unexpected. The tone of voice is wildly playful, with copy that is delightfully engaging and whimsy, creating a world where anything goes.
