Brand Strategy

The brand strategy centers on a simple premise: everyone is a rider. By putting people first and time front and center, we reframed mobility as a shared experience and built a more human-driven transportation brand.

Naming

With the rebrand from Wayfarer to Glydways the goal was to capture a more accessible, human-centered approach to mobility. The name reflects smooth, seamless movement and transportation designed for people, not just routes.

Visual Identity

The identity captures motion and innovation in transportation. Kinetic, human-centered, and built to flex across every touchpoint, from vehicle wraps to app interfaces.

Website Design

The initial website experience was designed to spark intrigue and inspire confidence among investors and early audiences — a sleek, minimal digital presence that introduced Glydways’ vision and hinted at a bold new future for urban mobility.
