Overview
Dirty Bird Run Club (DBRC) is a NYC-based run club founded in 2020. The Dirty Bird runner is always in for a good time, not afraid of hard work, and is first and foremost, a homie.
However, that scrappy, down-to-earth spirit wasn’t reaching the screen in a clear way, and they needed a better visual system to communicate logistics: long runs, weekly workouts, race-day cheer zones, and of course, afters.
Outcome
With a new palette remixed from the New York flag and texture that roughs up an otherwise clean type system, DBRC finally presented as stubborn and local as its runners. Inspired by the emblematic feel of football-club branding styles, the logo system flexes across social, merch, and print. As a result, DBRC posts more often, fields fewer questions, and grew merch sales by 20%.
