24by7 Courier logo design case study · Logistics

Day and Night.
Always Moving.

A courier brand that never clocks off

How we gave 24by7 Courier, a young logistics brand delivering around the clock, an identity that says speed, reliability and trust on every truck, uniform and screen.

Project

New brand identity

The brief

Promise nonstop delivery before a parcel is picked up.

24by7 Courier is a young, dynamic logistics brand built around one promise: service around the clock. The logo had to communicate speed, reliability and trust immediately, and work just as well on delivery trucks and uniforms as on apps and tracking pages.

The Challenge

  • Courier brands lean on the same trucks, arrows and wings
  • Had to read from across the street on a moving vehicle
  • A young brand competing with well-known logistics names

What Success Looked Like

  • Says “nonstop service” without extra words
  • Bold and legible from a distance
  • Works on trucks, uniforms, labels and apps
  • Looks professional, not cheap and fast

Why it matters

A Courier Logo Works Harder Than Most.

A logistics logo travels. It rides on vans, sits on parcels, shows on uniforms and appears on tracking screens and shipping labels, often printed fast and small. It has to stay legible in motion, in one colour and at a glance, and still feel trustworthy when a customer hands over something valuable.

Still Relevant

Designed to grow with the brand, not chase trends.

That’s why 24by7’s mark was explored, tested and refined in rounds, not drawn in an afternoon.

See how we did it

From brief to brand

One Promise. Two Blues. One Mark.

01Strategy

Discover

We worked with the founders to pin down the promise behind the name: delivery that never stops. Four words guided every idea: fast, reliable, trusted and nonstop.

02Strategy

Research

We reviewed courier and logistics brands. Most used trucks, arrows, wings and globes, which made them easy to confuse.

03Design

Sketch

Explorations around circles, clocks, routes, motion and the numbers 24 and 7, searching for the simplest way to say “always on”.

04Design

Explore

Directions tested on vans, uniforms, labels and app icons. A clean circular emblem with bold type proved clearest, with no extra symbols needed.

05Craft

Refine

We split the circle into two shades of blue for day and night service, and tuned the type to feel confident, precise and professional.

06Handover

Deliver

Master logo, emblem and wordmark versions, colour and type system, and files ready for vehicles, uniforms, labels, web and app.

Behind the scenes

The Ones That Didn’t Make It

Good ideas get cut too. Here’s what we set aside, and why.

Rejected 24by7 Courier logo idea: The Delivery Truck

The Delivery Truck

Literal, but nearly every courier uses one.

Rejected 24by7 Courier logo idea: The Clock Face

The Clock Face

On-message for 24/7, but it read as a watch brand.

Rejected 24by7 Courier logo idea: The Speed Arrow

The Speed Arrow

Fast, but generic and hard to own.

Every detail has a job

Every Detail Carries Meaning

1

The Circle

A continuous loop for movement and continuity: service that never stops.

2

Two Blues

Two shades of blue for day and night, so the 24/7 promise is built into the colours.

24by7 Courier logo anatomy: The Circle, Two Blues, Bold Typography, No Extra Symbol

3

Bold Typography

Strong, stylised letters that stay legible on a moving van or a small label.

4

No Extra Symbol

A clean, symbol-free design that keeps the name front and centre, precise and professional.

Construction & rules

Built on Rules, Not Guesswork.

Clear rules keep the identity consistent across vehicles, uniforms, labels, the app and every new branch.

24by7 Courier logo on its construction grid

Construction Grid

The emblem is built on concentric circles and a centred axis, so it stays balanced on any surface.

24by7 Courier logo clear space rulexxxx

Clear Space

Keep a margin of x (the height of the “2”) on every side. Nothing enters this zone.

Minimum Size

24px on screen and 15mm in print. Below that, use the symbol on its own.

Stress tests

Tested in the Real World Before Launch.

A logo that only works on a big white screen isn’t finished. We put 24by7 Courier through the places it actually lives before the client ever did.
