THE ICON
The SP RHODES Brand represents our business intent. Our icon is an expression of both the equestrian lifestyle and a strategic approach to equestrian branding.
The King is the leader in the game of chess. He stands the tallest in the chess set and has center stage on the chess board; flanked by the queen (who is ultimately the strongest) and protected by his assembled army. He is limited in movement but can play an integral part of the strategy when called upon toward the end-game when many of his army support has fallen by the wayside. The King (your equestrian brand) is the ultimate tool in growing your equestrian business and building your following (army). The King is the most protected piece on the chess board and his every move is strategic; he is the last piece standing and the foundation of the entire game.
We are using this iconic metaphor to express the importance equestrian brand strategy; our goal is to service your King (your equestrian brand) in a way that positions you for growth and success. It is for that reason you will see Chester on all of our products. Our icon is a commitment to both our brand and yours that the products and services you commission will be created thoughtfully and in the best-interest of your equestrian brand.
THE WORDMARK
The SP RHODES wordmark features an incomplete letter “O” that has been inspired by an ensō (“circular form”; a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to allow creativity).
It also represents the idea that equestrian branding is never complete; it is infinite, it is ever-evolving and exists in a continuum.
There will always be gaps in this continuum and it is both your job and ours to recognize where we can bridge these gaps through thoughtfully inspired brand implementation.
