Because second-hand should be first choice. 

Project Scope

Second Act Op Shop is a second-hand opportunity store located in a retirement village on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. They required a complete re-brand, appealing to the young adult demographic while visually communicating the op shop's values of environmentalism and being the helping hands of the local community.

The project involved a new name, full logo suite, colour palette, typographic system, imagery, symbolic illustrations, social media content, signage, printed collateral and merchandise, a website and an in-depth set of guidelines to implement their very own brand identity.

Their Mission Statement:
To be the helping hands of the planet and its people.

Primary logo. Dark green background with a light yellowy-green symbol and brand name on top. Symbol is two hands side-by-side, one flipped upside-down and filled in and the other is upright and just outlined.

Behind the Logo

Universally, hands represent helping others, volunteering & generosity. Two hands are a nod to being second-hand.

‘Second Act’ is a metaphor for the second life or story we can give to clothes.

The bold green & bright yellow reflect sustainability & attract Generation Z.

A landscape book, closed, shows the front cover of the brand style guide.
The brand style guide is open onto two pages consisting of rules for the logo usage hierarchy and logo clear space rules.

Brand guidelines allow anyone implementing the Second Act Op Shop brand to have a clear set of instructions as to how, when and why to use brand elements. They also provide insight into when these guides are and aren’t flexible.
