Elios moves freight for businesses, across the city or across the world. Its website had to feel like the industry at its best: exact, on time and calm under load. So we built it from the yard up, with the colours of the containers, a wordmark set in mono like a box's markings and a home page that opens on the box itself, held on the hook.

Freight is a promise
kept on time.
A logistics buyer is deciding who to trust with a supply chain. Before any quote, the site has to show that Elios is dependable, that every shipment can be followed, and that the next step is one click away.
So the design stays industrial and exact: a grid like a container yard, mono type like a manifest, and one colour kept for the things that move.
On the road
Built like
the cargo.
The brand is drawn from what Elios carries. Freight black, signal yellow and steel are the paints of a container yard; the wordmark is painted on the box; and the home page opens on that box, held on the hook over the stack.
- Three paints, stacked as freight.
- A mono wordmark, set on the box.
- The branded box on the hook.
One load set
down on another.
The symbol is two equal blades at the same slant. The lower one sits half a blade down and half across, tucked behind the upper and cut back round it by a thin keyline, like a box landing on the stack. Beside it, ELIOS in a mono face: the type of plates, manifests and stencils.
Yellow is kept for what moves: the lower blade, the buttons that start a shipment and the figures that matter. Everything else is ink on steel.

Rendered where a logistics brand actually lives: painted down the corrugated side, plated on the doors, striped on the hook that lifts it and read from the crane cab above.

A site that reads
like a manifest.
Three pages on the same parts: a nav in a steel pill, headlines in a plain sans, every label and figure in mono capitals, numbered rows in brackets and a yellow button wherever a shipment can start. Pick a page and scroll it in the frame.

Section by
section.
Each section carries one idea and the proof beside it: the fleet seen from above with the figures in square tiles, the industries as numbered cards, the principles as a bracketed list and dark photo cards for the services.

The launch,
in one swipe.
The website's launch post: eight slides that join up as they are swiped, from the box on the hook to the pages, the partners, the fleet on the road and the clients' own words.

On the road
In their words
Three pages,
three journeys.
Each page opens on a way freight travels: the box on the hook, the ship at sea, the truck on the road. The same frame, nav and figures hold them together. Here they are as posted, in motion.
