02 · Logo

The primary logo

The logo combines a powerful symbol with a clean, modern wordmark.

The lightning bolt cuts through the opening “e”, fusing electric energy with the evolution of the rental experience.

The custom wordmark is built from rounded, road‑like strokes, giving it a modern, elegant feel. Rentals sits right‑aligned beneath it.

08

02 · Logo

Logo idea

Three ideas fuse into one mark: the energy of electricity, the evolution of renting, and the shape of the open road.

Electric

The bolt: energy, speed and electric mobility.

E

Evolution

The “e” of evoluc: evolving the way you rent cars.

Road look

Speed stripes

Our signature graphic comes straight from the fleet: three bands of Evoluc Blue that sweep up and back, like a car pulling out of frame.

The stripes anchor a layout to one edge or corner and give every touchpoint the same sense of speed, from a van door to an app screen.

Motion principles

Motion should feel like an electric car: instant, smooth and silent. Nothing bounces, nothing lags.

Charge

200–300 ms

UI responses and taps. Fast ease‑out, like instant torque.

Glide

The speed stripes slide in from their edge, then settle.

Pulse

Charging states and the blue glow breathe softly on loop.

Easing · cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1)  ·  Respect reduced‑motion settings: replace movement with a simple fade.

06 · Imagery

Photography style

Our photography is cinematic, premium and authentic.

We focus on real moments, beautiful locations and the freedom of electric mobility: blue hour, night drives, glowing chargers and open roads.

●  Night, dusk and blue‑graded light

●  One clear hero: car, road or person

●  Glowing light as the energy cue
