Screwfix
A speculative brand refresh for one of the UK’s largest retailers of trade tools, accessories, and hardware. With 10,000 products and 1,400 stores, Screwfix aims to establish a digital-first identity, staying relevant in the e-commerce era while retaining its loyal customer base.
The refresh is pinned on the strategy of ‘boundless building’ and the everyman archetype, reflecting a brand that handles projects of any size with the stock to match.
The new wordmark uses the ‘Formula’ typeface, a square-based font with rounded elements, balancing an industrial feel with approachability.
The wordmark condenses into a simplified ‘SF’ icon for digital uses, such as web favicons and app icons
The letter 'F' is redesigned as ascending blocks, symbolizing the progress and building opportunities Screwfix offers.
A new set of unified icons
As part of a digital-first approach, I created a suite of modern, consistent icons that can also be used as playful illustrations in marketing materials, highlighting the breadth of Screwfix’s product offering.
