The Challenge

01. Creating a style

Just how exciting can hydraulic brakelines be? Well that very much depends on how deep you're willing to go. For Exeter-based engnieering & petrol-heads, HEL Performance, the answer is 'very interesting indeed'. As part of a passionate and driven racing sub-culture, HEL brakelines are the choice of champions. Our job? Capture the excitement of motor racing in graphics and merchandising for HEL's local and passionate customers.

02.1 Building the brand

Taking our in-depth colour, typography and design work, we began to look at taglines and marketing materials. “The official brake lines of number one”. “Stopping the unstoppable”. “Go to HEL for the company”


We also created a library of assets and image effects from abstract brakeline braids to dot matrix racers and abstract, artifacted treatments.

05.1 Accessories & Merchandise

The crux of the project was to create a raft of products that HEL could monetise at track days and through their e-commerce platform. The bulk of that brief was based in apparel but we didn't stop there. With strong connections in Asia, HEL were keen to look at what could be done to bring the impact of the HEL brand to 'white label' products from their partners in Guangzhou.
