THE ASSIGNMENT 
REIMAGINING A CLASSIC 
AMERICAN BRAND
A BRIEF HISTORY OF SCHWINN
Founded in 1895 by 
Ignaz Schwinn 
Company was founded on the 
principle that high quality bicycles 
could effectively compete against 
numerous other competitors. 
! 
Focus on simplicity and quality, not 
ground-breaking design. 
! 
Schwinn recognized the marketing 
and product development value of 
racing. Team participated in, and 
sponsored “6-Day” races.
Beginning in the mid-20th 
century, growth was fueled 
by innovative design and 
features 
Schwinn brought the double-tube 
balloon tire to market in 1930s 
! 
Frank Schwinn insisted on higher 
quality, despite an industry known at 
the time for cheap manufacturing 
! 
Emphasis on highly stylized bikes, 
rather than “lightweight” bikes 
! 
1950s through 1970s was focused 
primarily on the growing youth 
market 
!
Decline through ‘80s 
and ‘90s 
Slow response to BMX and mountain 
bike markets cut into Schwinn’s 
market share 
! 
Kids that grew up on Schwinns 
moved to foreign “lightweights” 
! 
Manufacturing was contracted out to 
Panasonic and later Giant 
! 
Schwinn filed for bankruptcy in 1992, 
due to eroded market share and 
increasing labor costs
The Schwinn brand continues on to this day, 
selling primarily through mass-market retailers. 
There are few connections to the earliest values 
Schwinn was founded on.

“WE ARE HUSTLERS AND WANT HUSTLERS” 
– Arnold, Schwinn & Co. Advertisement 
1896 Chicago World’s Fair 
This core belief embodies the Schwinn brand, from their earliest days 
inventing new products and supporting American racers, to their mission 
today: creating products that allow riders of all levels to hustle harder, 
ride farther and chart new paths.
We begin with the most distilled kernel of the 
Schwinn brand, and build a cohesive strategy that 
brings this to life through imagery and actions.
GRAPHIC TONE
SCHWINN’S PAST 
SERVED AS A CREATIVE 
FOUNDATION 
Schwinn’s creative direction has 
literally spanned a century of design. 
Simple, strong typography, clear 
depictions of their product, and a 
generally consistent use of the color 
red served as the foundation of a 
renewed brand approach.
IDEAS 
A simplified palette brings the 
Schwinn brand back to its roots 
! 
Bold graphic forms reiterate 
Schwinn’s commitment to quality, 
simplicity and durability 
! 
Imagery captures the craftsmanship, 
camaraderie and sense of discovery 
that comes with cycling
COLOR
Zeus Jones Design Homework - Gordon McIntyre-Lee
TYPOGRAPHY
IDEAS 
Type should be rooted in Schwinn’s 
past, but feel contemporary 
! 
Combination of sans serif with 
geometric forms and industrial slab 
serif connect to past type use 
! 
Although used in the past, script 
faces should be limited to illustrative 
elements and display use, not 
incorporated as a system face 
! 
!
Zeus Jones Design Homework - Gordon McIntyre-Lee
PATTERNS & 
ILLUSTRATION
IDEAS 
Graphic elements should articulate 
Schwinn’s core values of craftsmanship, 
quality and performance 
! 
Graphic forms should be scalable and 
easy to use across a range of 
applications and mediums
PHOTOGRAPHY
IDEAS 
Imagery should capture the broad 
range of emotion that occurs while 
riding, not simply happiness 
! 
Riders should be placed in a broader 
context – riding is about exploring 
the world 
! 
Always display the craft and quality 
that is the heart of Schwinn 
EXISTING PHOTOGRAPHY
NEW PHOTOGRAPHY
LOGO EXPLORATION
IDEAS 
A new logo should be iconic, easily 
reproducible, and move the Schwinn 
brand into a more modern stance 
! 
Simple use of color will help 
modernize and simplify the mark 
! 
The bike, and Schwinn’s early 
commitment to its basic technology, 
can form the basis for a new mark 
!

A broad range of graphic assets can easily be 
extended to strategic marketing actions, at once 
reinforcing and molding the brand over time.
AID STATIONS 
Sometimes when you’re grinding out the miles, things go south. 
That’s why Schwinn continually hustles to provide aid along the most 
popular urban routes. Schwinn aid stations provide easy access to 
water, energy bars and support gear. Red towers mark each aid 
station, or they can be found in the Schwinn Rider Tools app.
Zeus Jones Design Homework - Gordon McIntyre-Lee
SCHWINN RIDER SUPPORT 
Schwinn believes in the bicycle as a vehicle for discovery, and hustles 
every day to ensure each rider is supported on the road. Schwinn Rider 
Support provides the peace of mind to know that wherever you are, a 
helping hand is just a call or click away. Integrated into the Schwinn 
Rider Tools app, Rider Support provides around the clock service in 
the event of a mechanical, so you can get back on the road.
Zeus Jones Design Homework - Gordon McIntyre-Lee
STRAVA CHALLENGES 
Partnering with Strava gives Schwinn access to a well used fitness 
app that targets an enthusiast demographic. Sponsored challenges 
build awareness of the revitalized Schwinn brand, and support riders 
as they ride farther, grind longer and hustle harder.
Zeus Jones Design Homework - Gordon McIntyre-Lee
SCHWINN CUSTOMS 
Schwinn customs give customers a chance to get their hands dirty 
and be part of the creation process. Harkening back to the days of the 
high tolerances and traditional frame building techniques of the 
Paramount, Schwinn Customs provides bespoke frames, custom 
ordered to each customer’s spec. Every frame is hand built with the 
highest quality materials, allowing a tailored ride, built in conjunction 
with the customer. Bikes can be built online, or in consultation with a 
Schwinn expert.
