GTR
Every Journey Has A Destination

The Challenge

Complete Re-Branding & Creative Transformation from Perception Re-Shaping to Transition of 55-year old iconic brand General Tyre required.

Research shows that General Tyre has a weak brand persona brand imagery brand engagement and brand identity as today’s youth feel it’s a brand for the older generation not communicating to them at all.

GTR
Every Journey Has A Destination

The Solution

The re-branding, creative transformation & perception reshaping of General Tyre to a purpose-led brand with a new brand name that derived its own unique brand culture was the perfect strategic direction to be taken, considering the future product line extension in the Automotive category.

Our Approach

We need to define a brand purpose & determine its culture that not only gives rebirth to the iconic brand General Tyre through its transition into the purpose-led brand GTR.

Over 55 years of expertise, manufactured on German technology, tested in Japan and Europe, GTR engineered, designed and refined to fit any road conditions.

GTR gives youth the ability to move forward, alleviating their worries by making life safer on the wheels, and empowering them in every journey to reach their ultimate destination, thus enabling them to achieve their goals and dreams.

Brand Culture Hive

Our Cultural Branding Toolkit

Working on culture branding strategic global Marcom toolkit “Brand Culture Hive.” our team at BCN Global derives the brand purpose, manifesto and culture strategy by fusing insights.

That enables us to work out the strategic creative direction “The Generation Of Achievers” to craft the communication and 360º amplification to create inspiring brand journeys with distinctive brand culture across all mediums.

That’s how we Cultivate, Humanise and Nurture Purpose-Led IDEAL GTR Brand to win their marketplace.

Manifesto

The Generation of Achievers

Rebirth & Rebranding of iconic Brand

We worked on brand architecture by modernizing the identity system to create a new brand name, a new identity, and a new monogram to introduce a new bold, dynamic and progressive purpose-led brand GTR Tyre.

In doing so, we transformed an outdated brand aesthetic into a globally-minded system that was not only relevant but groundbreaking and set a new tone and level of design achievement for the entire automotive category.

Thus, our branding team successfully reborn, re-brand & transition 55 years old iconic brand General Tyre into GTR Tyre. We built an identity system that set us apart from the pack and established new journey rules for branding every customer touchpoint.

Brand Identity

The GTR Identity is a masterclass in minimalist design, drawing its foundational inspiration from the circular form, emblematic of a tyre, life, and perpetual movement.

Two intersecting circles are skillfully manipulated to craft the iconic letters “GTR”. A standout feature is the red rectangular triangle seamlessly integrated into the design, forming the central part of the letter “G”, symbolizing the “Generation of Achievers” who are always on the move towards excellence.

The metallic treatment of the lettering exudes a sense of modernity and strength, set against a stark black background. The word “Tyre” is elegantly juxtaposed in white, separated by a sleek slash line, anchoring the brand’s core offering.

Beyond its visual appeal, the logo embodies the enablers of dreams, empowering the generation of achievers to embrace their journey. This sentiment reinforces the brand’s commitment to being more than just a tyre brand but a partner in life’s journey.
