The brandcycle
// Our solutions
The brandcycle group offers comprehensive end-to-end solutions that cover every phase of the brand lifecycle. Our approach is practice-oriented, measurable and geared towards long-term brand loyalty.

// Reality check
As part of the brandcycle approach, we integrate sustainability into every phase of the brand life cycle. From analysis and strategic planning to creative implementation and evaluation.
We consult
Even in the consulting phase, we attach great importance in developing sustainable brand strategies. This includes analysing the environmental and social impact of a brand and integrating sustainability goals into the brand positioning. Through strategic planning, we help companies to credibly integrate sustainable values into their brand core.
We create
During creative implementation, we pay attention to sustainable materials, energy-efficient design processes and resource-saving solutions. Our designs are not only aesthetically and emotionally appealing, but also designed to have minimal environmental impact. One example is the use of recyclable materials for brand displays and the implementation of sustainable production processes.

Kundenprofil: GNS, headquartered in Essen, is a leading company in the field of nuclear waste disposal and services. With a clear focus on quality, safety, and innovation, GNS pursues sustainable and future-oriented corporate development.
We are proud to have successfully implemented the “Transforming Spaces” project.
In a tight timeframe from the end of May to September, we were responsible for the complete redesign and implementation of the GNS office in Essen – from conception and planning to on-site realization.
Thanks to the smooth cooperation of all those involved – from the planning team to the implementation partners – the result was presented on time for the location celebration.
A classic and functional office environment was transformed into a place with character, identity, and a sense of community that brings GNS’s values—excellence, cooperation, and sustainability—to life in a tangible way.

Wenn Gestaltung Bewusstsein schafft.
The mission
GO!PHA is an international alliance of scientists, brands, and innovators committed to addressing one of the planet’s most pervasive pollutants: microplastics. The challenge was to create an identity that reframes the debate and positions material innovation as a tangible path forward.
Scope of work
Brand Development and Corporate Identity
The Idea
It’s not plastic that’s the enemy, but microplastics—the invisible particles that have long become part of nature, wildlife, and humanity.
This realization shapes our brand strategy and design: GO!PHA stands for a radical shift in perspective—from assigning blame to finding solutions.
The transformation begins with the material.
The implementation
The new visual identity conveys science, urgency, and optimism through a clear visual system.
A bold orange breaks away from the familiar blue-green aesthetic of sustainability. Key visuals highlight the threat in an aesthetic—yet precisely because of this, unsettling—way: microplastics accumulating in bodies, rendered visible as an art form.
PHA headlines combine language and science into concise messages:
PHAse out microplastics.
PHA: Designed to disappear.
Change the material – change the story.
The brand communicates clarity and consistency across all touchpoints: logo, corporate design, film, campaign, summit.
The Result
GO!PHA becomes the voice of a new consciousness. A brand that combines urgency with optimism—and demonstrates that true change begins at the molecular level.
Material Change isn’t just told;
it’s experienced through exceptional communication design.

Travel. For explorers. Relaunch of a long-standing brand.
Intro
As a brand agency, our mission was to guide the Berge & Meer brand into the future with a fresh and contemporary identity—without losing sight of its core values. For decades, Berge & Meer has stood for authentic travel experiences that combine a spirit of adventure with relaxation. With the new brand identity, we have reinterpreted and further developed this identity in a modern way.
At the heart of the rebranding was the creation of a clear and inspiring brand image that awakens a longing for the world and its diverse landscapes.
The new brand experience not only sets visual accents but also creates an emotional connection—whether in print materials, the online world, or directly on-site. With this rebranding, Berge & Meer invites you to rediscover the world and clearly positions itself as a brand for people who travel with passion and want to experience the diversity of nature.
Our vision: A brand that shapes the travel dreams of tomorrow—strongly rooted in its values, yet bold enough to break new ground.

The Super Symbol
The Super Symbol draws the eye to the travel moment. It is our signature layout element and makes it immediately and unmistakably clear what matters most.
At the heart of the Super Symbol is always what matters most: the experience, the travel moment. The Super Symbol is typically used in an accent color that complements the color scheme of the image.
The Colors
Color Wheel
The Berge & Meer color wheel is based on the color spectrum and consists of 12 colors. Each color in this wheel can be associated with specific experiences, landscapes, or emotions we encounter on our travels, reflecting the diversity and beauty of the experiences we can gather along the way.
Accent
The accent color is available in each of the 12 color groups. It is a lighter version of a primary color and is assigned as an accent to the color directly opposite it on the color wheel. The accent color is used for the super symbol and for disruptive elements. In special cases, such as when designing a Sognature trip, the primary and accent colors may be swapped.
Print Media
The Berge & Meer Round-Trip Catalog evokes a spirit of adventure and wanderlust, combined with a longing for relaxation in nature. The design should reflect a harmonious interplay of majestic mountain landscapes and serene seascapes. The focus is on large, evocative images of natural settings, complemented by clean, modern typography.
Natural color palettes—such as shades of blue, green, and earth tones—emphasize the theme. Clear layouts with structured content ensure user-friendly navigation, while inspiring texts and highlights invite readers to dream and explore at first glance.
Website and Social Media
Using the new brand guide, we have modernized Berge & Meer’s social media presence and website and aligned them with the brand. Clear, visually appealing layouts and a consistent color and visual language ensure that Berge & Meer’s identity is evident across all channels.

Bringing the fascination of travel to life
Everyone should experience the world
TOURVITAL, founded in 2008 as a provider of medically supervised travel and the market leader in this sector in Germany, has evolved into a specialist in adventure tours. During this time, the self-image of the core target group has also changed; “the elderly” have become active “Best Agers.” The company’s brand identity has kept pace with these developments just as little as it has with digitalization.
Scope of work
Repositioning and a new brand identity
The core idea of the brand story
“Travel is life in its purest form. We believe everyone should experience the world—in all its facets. We don’t just drive you from one photo spot to the next. We organize tours.”
The result is a performance that puts the TOUR at the center of attention: as colorful and vibrant as the journeys it represents.
The logo visually captures the essence of the tour. Instead of a fixed color scheme, it adapts to its surroundings in five different variations.
The imagery of the brand presents travel destinations very closely and from unusual perspectives—not postcard-perfect scenes, but the world as seen through the traveler’s eyes. Complemented by design elements that represent the destination and the itinerary, as well as destination symbols that appear as organic-looking silhouettes inviting travelers to fill them with their own experiences, the design
already takes prospective travelers on a journey in their imagination.
Die Marke TOURVITAL wurde in das Produkt gehoben. Marke, Produkt und Abverkauf werden eins. Das ist stimmig, neu und einzigartig.

DERTOUR: DER Touristik’s New Masterbrand
One brand for everyone, one brand for everything
In an uncertain and confusing world, trust and instant recognition are more important than ever. When it comes to their travel experience, customers are looking for a strong partner who is always by their side – whether in the digital or the real world.
To better meet these needs, the world’s second-largest travel group is focusing on the brand that most clearly reflects its origins: DERTOUR.
It is being established as the main brand and will replace local consumer brands as well as DER Touristik’s retail brands. This will make the DER brand family much more recognizable as a unified entity than before – not only for customers, but also for employees and business partners. The travel experience with companies in the DER travel group will become a comprehensive customer experience—digitally and at every moment of the travel experience.
The redesigned brand is fluid and responsive, yet has become even more emotional. Flexible elements are arranged around the core brand identity in the DER brand wheel.
Instead of rigid guidelines, the CI provides only general guidelines for use, ensuring consistency while allowing for a high degree of flexibility. This allows the brand to adapt to its environment and the situation, rather than the other way around. Clear recognizability meets maximum creative freedom.
This is clearly evident in the design language, with the so-called “shapes”: the logo shape in the brand colors ensures high recognizability, while the content shape—as well as the headline bars and other supplementary elements—aligns its colors with the visual motif.
Tourismus verkauft reale Träume in einer immer digitaleren Welt. Eine extreme Herausforderung für Marken: Sie müssen sie medienübergreifend schnell und aufmerksamkeitsstark überzeugen und inspirieren. Die überarbeitete Marke DERTOUR wird diesen Anforderungen gerecht.

Client: SENA
It’s all about connection.
Sena and ricon – Two target audiences, two related brands
As a provider of smart helmets, Sena will operate in the consumer market under its own brand. To this end, the brand will be given an emotional appeal and clearly positioned with a focus on “connectivity”: It’s not about technology or helmets; it’s about staying connected.

A separate brand will be developed for the B2B sector. It will operate independently but still maintain a clear connection to Sena.
The brand name for the technology brand is derived from “ride connected”: ricon.

The Brand’s DNA – The New Sena Brand Story
The ability to connect has made humanity the most powerful species in evolution. We look out for one another, we share our knowledge, we’re constantly improving—and we have a lot of fun doing it. Together, we can move mountains—or ride right over them.
Take your riding experience to the next level!
More safety.
Better performance.
More fun.
#rideconnected
The Connector – A Super Symbol Explains What It’s All About
Both brands share the use of a connector as a key visual element. However, this element differs visually enough to emphasize ricon’s distinct identity. In the case of ricon, the connector is also part of the logo, giving it a distinctive look and strong visual impact.
In Sena’s visual motifs, it clearly highlights the product’s benefits and makes the target audience immediately apparent.
Furthermore, the connectors also serve as a distinguishing feature for the two connection technologies offered: Mesh and Bluetooth.
Mesh and Bluetooth – Explained by the Super Symbol
While Bluetooth connections are established in a so-called daisy chain—meaning the connected devices are linked in a row and communication always flows from front to back and back again—the mesh network developed by Sena creates a network between the receivers. This makes the connection significantly more stable and self-healing: If a rider loses the connection, the others remain connected to each other, and the connection is automatically reestablished as soon as the rider is back within range.
Connected by ricon
The eye-catching blue emblem on helmets and packaging serves as a clear indicator to consumers: this helmet is a smart helmet that enables communication while cycling. This feature is not monopolized by a single helmet brand but becomes a functionality offered by various providers. This benefits all providers, but above all it helps build the market—connectivity is particularly attractive when many potential communication partners are available.
However, it differs visually enough to emphasize ricon’s distinctiveness. At ricon, the connector is also part of the logo, giving it a distinctive look and strong visual impact. In Sena’s imagery, it clearly highlights the product’s benefits and makes the target audience immediately apparent. Furthermore, the connectors also serve as a distinguishing feature for the two connection technologies offered: Mesh and Bluetooth.
What’s next?
The Sena brand will continue to grow—new areas of application are already being implemented, as are new communication technologies. The flexible and versatile new brand identity will support this growth.

Our lives are constantly changing.
WE are constantly changing.
How smart would it be to have furniture that simply adapts to these changes?
That grows with us.
That perfectly fulfills the role we need it to play at any given moment.
That we can adapt to suit our needs. Whenever we need it.
Your STEKKBAR furniture grows with you and stays with you, if you want, for a lifetime: from the nursery to your first apartment to starting your own family.
Plug it in a new way. Rearrange it. Add something else.
Always new, always tailored to you, always 100% wood.
Flexible and sustainable.
From the name to the typeface: A brand identity tailor-made for the product
The brand name says it all: stekkbar. With two “k”s to take advantage of the letter’s furniture-like appearance, for better recognition, and also to secure the corresponding URL.
The logo symbolizes what STEKKBAR stands for: sustainability, adaptability, and growing with the user. The stylized tree is composed of the letter K from the “STEKKBAR Variable” typeface, developed specifically for the brand and inspired by the furniture. It, too, can be “stekked” and then forms a secondary design element that is as eye-catching as it is harmonious.
A striking color scheme rounds out the impression: green, of course, for sustainability, but in a fresh, eye-catching shade, accompanied by just two other colors.
The brand also stands out online for its simplicity; the product and its benefits take center stage as the hero.
Ich freue mich ganz besonders über die großartige Marke und die beiden German Design Awards für STEKKBAR, weil STEKKBAR ein Projekt unserer Azubis ist, für die auch die Zusammenarbeit mit der Agentur eine tolle Erfahrung war.

Fiber optics with a home-field advantage. A brand identity that gets right to the heart of the matter.
A corporate vision becomes a brand
Goetel has a vision: “Having been based in Lower Saxony and Hesse for over 20 years, we want to act as a driver of innovation and contribute to digital equality so that everyone can continue to live and work in their home region in the future.”
However, this vision has not yet been reflected in the brand’s communications.
We were given the opportunity to take on this challenge.

Brandstory
Home. It sounds a bit old-fashioned. Yet it’s the place where life happens and the future takes shape. We feel a deep connection to our home. To the people, their hopes and dreams, goals, and ideas. They’re all deeply rooted here. Whether they’ve stayed or moved here, they’ve chosen to live and work right here. Just the way they want to. That’s exactly what drives us. We enable people to live the way they want. Where they want, and how they want. We create a strong connection. Between people. To the world out there with all its knowledge, education, and entertainment. To the future.
Those who aren’t connected get left behind very quickly. We provide that connection. For the people and what drives them.
heimat.verbunden
That’s goetel
It all began with the brand story, which translated the vision into concrete images and emotions and directly inspired the new tagline, the super symbol, and the new logo.
The size of the loop adapts flexibly to the image motif and format. It always ends in the lower right corner and forms the background for the logo. Its gradient consists of two colors and always begins with yellow. The headline explains who fiber optics is important for and will soon be available to. Bring on the future!
The Loop
The super symbol places the people of the region—the very focus of the campaign—at the center. It shows what it’s all about: connection. And it reveals who is speaking, as it is derived from the new logo typeface.
The Logo
Here, too, connection is the central theme: The previously separate vowels “o” and “e” come together, thereby stripping the brand name of much of its technical austerity and conveying emotionality and approachability with their friendly “wink.”
The Tagline
Connected. To home. At home. Fiber optics is the technology of the future. And yet, especially in rural areas, connectivity remains sluggish. It’s not just about faster internet. It’s about equal opportunity. About economic growth. About better education. About preserving the value of one’s property. It’s about living where you want to live. Because you’re connected to home. And still being able to do everything you want. Because home is perfectly connected. Goetel specializes in connecting rural areas with future-proof fiber optics. This turns even small villages into gigabit hubs. Future-oriented infrastructure creates future opportunities, not just in major cities.
The Colors
The traditional Goetel blue, which conveys reliability and tradition—both key factors in choosing a fiber-optic partner—remains a staple and is complemented by bright, cheerful colors with gradients. Movement, passion, endless possibilities—always fresh and personalized.
The Image Motifs
People from the region staying connected—always natural and optimistic, always rooted in their home region, and always connected via fiber optics. But these don’t have to be the classic sofa-and-desk motifs; after all, the internet accompanies us to many places and many workplaces, including some unusual ones.
The size of the loop is flexible, depending on the image motif and format. It always ends in the lower right corner and forms the background for the logo. Its gradient consists of two colors and always starts with yellow. The headline explains who fiber optics is important for and will soon be available to. Bring on the future!

Client: helloFiber
Fiber optics at last! Brand development at the speed of light.
From Zero to Local Hero
helloFiber is building fiber-optic networks in rural communities that have not yet been connected to high-speed internet. This business model only works if approximately one-third of households opt for a connection and choose one of the internet and phone service packages offered—and they must do so within a very limited timeframe. The challenge, therefore, was to quickly explain the benefits of the new technology and generate demand, while also building trust in the previously unknown brand.

The Task
A new brand, a challenging market, a unique challenge: helloFiber provides fiber-optic internet connections to rural communities that have not yet been served by high-speed internet. This requires massive investments in building out the fiber-optic network. To make this feasible, approximately one-third of households must be convinced to sign a contract within a specific timeframe.
The brand must therefore build trust in just a few months, explain the technology, and generate demand for a product that customers won’t receive for several months or even years.
Light as the central theme
The focus is on the core benefit: internet at (almost) the speed of light.
The light points in the design and the semi-transparent super symbol pick up on this theme. But it’s not primarily about technical aspects; rather, it’s about light, joy, and connection, which bring the perfect connection into people’s lives. Cheerful pastel colors, a design with plenty of white space, and imagery that conveys joy and surprise clearly convey the positive mood.
Perfectly Connected
From explaining the technical advantages to highlighting the immediate benefits of lightning-fast browsing and gaming, all the way to the emotional benefits—the perfect connection with other people—the campaign brings the advantages of the new internet to life on every level.
helloFiber Says Hello
The brand always comes across as friendly and approachable. From the bright colors and light-filled design to the informal “you” address, helloFiber presents itself as an approachable ally for a perfectly connected life.
The brand name helloFiber underscores the communicative aspects of fiber-optic technology and the friendly, open attitude of the brand personality. The Bloom, as part of the logo, demonstrates the company’s telecommunications expertise.
Bloom as a mark of origin
The “Bloom,” used on its own as a distinctive design element, is the established brand of a global market leader in telecommunications products—one of helloFiber’s parent companies—and thus serves as a mark of origin and proof of expertise. The bright yellow of the Bloom creates warmth—fitting for a product that connects people with their friends and family.
Seal of Trust
The “100% Fiber Optic” seal reaffirms the commitment to quality: it signifies true fiber optic connectivity across the entire route—Fiber to the Home.
Light speed even on the so-called “last mile.”
heimat.verbunden
Communication in Three Phases
Communication in the target regions takes place in three phases.
Phase 1 focuses on building brand awareness and establishing trust.
Fiber optics is presented as a technology that creates seamless connections between people. The tone is relaxed and cheerful—it just works.
In Phase 2, the benefits of fiber-optic technology are demonstrated through use cases that show how fiber optics makes life easier, more pleasant, more exciting, more entertaining… simply better. Brand-specific illustrations explain the product and the technology without overwhelming the reader.
Phase 3 is about convincing those who are still undecided. Emotional imagery is deliberately avoided; the focus is on facts and the urgency of signing up now to secure future-proof internet not only for oneself but for the entire community.

A trip around the world in one place
A fresh start for an old container ship: It’s set to become a trendy city hotel in the harbor.
Scope of work
Naming
A hotel for global citizens
The result was a truly unique hotel concept designed for truly unique people: Global Citizens. People who feel at home all over the world and draw inspiration from cultures, architecture, and landscapes. People who enjoy daydreaming about faraway destinations even on a short trip and are always on the lookout for something special.
The Allure of Seafaring
When you step aboard a ship, you leave everyday life behind and begin to dream of faraway places. This is especially true when that dream world has an authentic setting—the ship and the containers are real, and the feeling that every corner is brimming with adventure is no illusion.
Containers are global citizens made of steel
A ship that has sailed the world’s oceans has come home—and like any old sea dog, it has plenty of stories to tell. Retired shipping containers are transformed into spaces that continue to carry within them the world they have traveled. They are filled with trendy venues from every continent. Colors, patterns, and interior styles transport guests to foreign lands—with authentic flair.
Diversity over uniformity
In a world where globalization often means that when you wake up in a hotel room that meets “international standards,” you can’t tell whether you’re in Sydney, Singapore, or Stuttgart, we’re taking the opposite approach. We pack the world into containers and bring it to our guests.
Just a quick trip around the world
With Global Citizenship, you can take a quick trip to your favorite faraway destination or go on a weekend-long trip around the world—all without jet lag, whenever you feel like it, and with a small carbon footprint.
With Global Citizenship, a city break becomes a long-distance trip, the hotel becomes an attraction in its own right, and the stay becomes a cruise with no environmental impact.

For the MeLu Bistro in downtown Moers, we had the opportunity to carry out a project that was a real home run for us. Together with a dedicated couple who run the business, we supported the development of their dining concept from the very beginning—from the initial idea all the way through to the grand opening.
The focus was on creating an inviting space for a wide variety of target groups: students, working professionals, downtown visitors, and anyone looking for a quick break from their daily routine. The result is a bistro with a clean, inviting atmosphere, high-quality coffee, and freshly prepared snacks.
