The logo mascot is an imaginative fusion of riders and retro characters. We wanted to convey comfort in a subtle way, hence the mascot hinging on the familiarity of games we used to play, with the friendliness and reliability of partner-riders. With inclusivity at the forefront of Amigo, the mascot is easily and freely up to anybody to interpret.
The accompanying type for the logo is stylised to express action. Slightly skewed towards the right with small accents — like a flourish in the letter “A” and an arrow in the letter “G” — the type evokes a sense of motion that isn’t rigid and isn’t furious. Instead, it shows that Amigo can take you anywhere, whichever direction you need it to.
Apart from the arrow being a defining shape for Amigo, the idea of connection was also fully fleshed out in the illustrations and other brand assets. We illustrated some scenes that were inspired by retro board games and those wooden bricks we used to play as kids, creating cities that you and your friends would make and explore—quite easily with Amigo around.
Humanising the product didn't just mean creating a mascot for the brand, but also highlighting what makes them more human. Through the brand identity, we made sure that we get to feature the delivery service but also emphasize that this service is established with the human in the centre — knowing the needs of the people, pioneering inclusivity in the industry, and setting life back in motion after a long pause.
