Print Production Brand Identity

InkRabbit Printworks

InkRabbit Printworks is a Colorado print shop specializing in custom banners, signs, apparel, promotional products, large-format printing, and commercial printing solutions. After more than 15 years in business, the company had evolved far beyond its original focus, but its existing name and brand no longer reflected the breadth of services it offered or the quality of its work.

Mothershed Design Co. partnered with the team to develop a completely new brand identity—from naming strategy through logo design and visual identity—that would better position the company for future growth, attract a broader audience, and communicate the versatility of its printing capabilities.

The Challenge

For more than a decade, the company operated successfully as World’s Best Banners, building a strong reputation for banner printing and signage. Over time, however, the business expanded to include a much wider range of commercial printing, custom apparel, promotional products, large-format graphics, and branded marketing materials.

The original name had become limiting. While it accurately reflected the company’s beginnings, it unintentionally suggested that banners were their only specialty, causing potential customers to overlook the many additional services they provided.

Beyond the name itself, the visual identity no longer represented the company’s growth, expertise, or energetic personality. They needed a brand that felt bold, memorable, and versatile—one capable of supporting future expansion while standing out in the competitive commercial printing industry.

The new identity also needed to perform across everything from storefront signage and vehicle graphics to apparel, packaging, social media, and marketing collateral while remaining instantly recognizable.

The Result

We partnered with the team to create a completely new brand from the ground up, beginning with a strategic naming process. The result was InkRabbit Printworks—a name that communicates speed, precision, creativity, and adaptability while leaving room for the business to continue expanding its services well into the future.

From there, we developed a bold visual identity centered around a distinctive custom logo, energetic typography, and a vibrant color palette that reflects the company’s approachable personality and craftsmanship. The new brand is playful without sacrificing professionalism, creating a memorable identity that immediately differentiates InkRabbit from more traditional print shops.

To ensure the brand extended well beyond the logo itself, we created a flexible visual system designed to work across a wide variety of applications, including signage, branded apparel, vehicle graphics, printed marketing materials, digital advertising, social media, and promotional products.

The result is a scalable, personality-driven brand identity that accurately reflects the full scope of InkRabbit Printworks’ services while providing a strong foundation for future marketing efforts and long-term business growth. Today, the company has a brand that matches the quality of its work, confidently communicates its expanded capabilities, and helps attract customers looking for a trusted, full-service commercial printing partner.

“They really listened and gave us exactly what we were looking for.”

“Mothershed Design Co. handled our rebranding efforts from start to finish. They took everything we said in the two-hour meeting and put it into a format we could use and present to our customers. Now, we feel that we can keep everything uniform—we’ve never had that before.”
