Magneto Boards is a skateboard and longboard brand based in Carlsbad, California that needed a refreshed identity capable of connecting with both new and experienced riders while staying true to its promise of quality at a great price. The brand already had recognition in the market, but its visual language lacked consistency and polish across touchpoints. As Creative Director, I led a rebrand that elevated the existing logo through thoughtful enhancements and extended the identity into a flexible system of patterns, colors, and logo treatments. This new foundation carried across every aspect of the brand, from digital platforms like social media and the website to packaging, retail environments, and merchandise. The result was a cohesive brand world that felt aspirational yet approachable, capturing the essence of California skate culture while reinforcing Magneto’s credibility and professionalism.










The creative direction for Magneto Boards was grounded in the authentic lifestyle and environment of Carlsbad, California. The refreshed identity drew inspiration from the natural materials used to craft the boards, such as bamboo and maple, as well as the gradients of coastal skies, sandy tones, and the grit of asphalt. These references established an aesthetic that felt organic, lived-in, and true to the culture of skating. The existing logo was modernized and expanded into a flexible identity system that included new color palettes, patterns, and additional logo treatments. This system was designed for adaptability, allowing it to work seamlessly across all touchpoints, from board graphics and retail displays to digital platforms and merchandise. With the foundation in place, the rebrand was expressed across the full brand experience. The website and social media presence were reimagined with an emphasis on clarity, lifestyle-driven imagery, and storytelling that highlighted both product and culture. Packaging and retail environments paired raw, tactile textures with refined finishes, giving the boards a compelling presence. Merchandise extended the identity further, transforming apparel and accessories into wearable expressions of the brand. The result is a brand world that positions Magneto as aspirational yet approachable—polished enough to feel professional and credible, while remaining accessible to skaters of all levels. The refreshed identity celebrates the spirit of California skate culture and establishes a cohesive, confident voice across every interaction.
